If you are reading this I could assure 99.9% that you have or have had a console. In the end, we’ve all played with one, but the question is, which has been preferred by the world? Let’s analyze the sales of the 5 most purchased in history.
A console is a guaranteed gift, especially for young children who still don’t have one and parents or relatives want to give it their first. Mine was a Game Boy Color back in 2000 from the hand of Santa Claus, what an illusion. Surely for many it was also that. But hey, let’s see the Top 5 best sellers in the world.
5. PlayStation 4 – 117.2 million
In fifth place we have the famous PlayStation 4, from the hand of Sony. One of the best sellers in history not only in terms of console but also games. It arrived in 2013 and they are still being manufactured today, so it may not stay at these figures.
4. Game Boy – 118.69 million
Here comes mine, the Game Boy, both the original and the color version, released in 1998, add up to a whopping 118 million units sold. It was a revolution at the time because it was the first laptop that managed to stand out, which brought with it thousands of super fun games.
3. Nintendo Switch – 122.55 million
The Switch sneaks into the podium with nothing more and nothing less than 122 million, above a game boy with many more years of life and it is that on top of that the Nintendo console continues to have a large number of sales today, so He will not settle for this position.
2. Nintendo DS – 154.02 million
As you can see, the famous Nintendo DS takes second place in this ranking. They surprised us with the famous pencil and a console that could be folded in addition to having two screens. Something that caught a lot of public attention and placed it in the best-selling laptop in history. Nintendogs, Brain Training, Super Mario… surely you remember them.
1. PlayStation 2 – 155 million
And in the number one position and the one that takes the gold is for another Play, in this case the PlayStation 2. A revolution in its time and that all of us born in the 90s had to have. It was impossible for a classmate not to have it. With a Fifa or a GTA San Andreas.
Although it must be said that it is very curious that it barely has a difference with the Nintendo DS and that it almost lost first place, but hey, today it has it and it will be difficult for another to take it away, at least for a while.
And you? Tell us which was your first console and above all which is your favourite, the one you played the most hours on and the one you remember most nostalgically, but well, you still use it anyway.
