The Untold PS5 Story

Thanks to Policygenius for sponsoring this video!

Before PS5 vs Xbox Series X, Sony had to start somewhere.

The Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) is just a few weeks away from an official launch, and while we wait to get our hands on the next-gen console, let's take a look back at the road that brought here. There's plenty of backstabbing, failed launches, and great success in the story that is PlayStation. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!

I'm really proud of this video. This was a story I've wanted to tell for years. A huge thank you goes to Robert who did the research, scripting, and brought this to life. What company or product do you want to see next?

Disappointing that you didn’t talk about Mark Cerny. He deserves all the praise for the PS4 rise to greatness once again.

PS1: The Beginning of Greatness
PS2: Greatness Epitomized
PS3: The Fall & Rise Towards Greatness
PS4: Greatness Awaits
PS5: Greatness Arrives

If Sony started its PlayStation journey with a audio chip for Nintendo then now I can truly trust the Tempest 3D audio engine for the PS5. Sony know their stuff.

Ps2 was the most fun I’ve ever had with a console, hands down.

[romariosmith]

This is probably the best video I've seen all month.

[dcrz]

I always thought the fat ps3 was one of the most beautiful consoles ever.

[JustinSulak]

It’s really unfortunate that long videos like this relatively underperform, because this type of content is fantastic and is exactly what I love! Great video Jon

[catalinalexandru]

I was expecting a boring video as I'm not that interested in consoles wars. but this is the kind of documentary on Netflix I would enjoy watching a longer version.

[Djjolly]

The companies that survive and thrive are the ones that adapt and change. That is the theme I get from everyone of these history videos Jon does

[hughjames]

DAE remember the thicc and curvy PS3 from 06? That was so next level at that time, especially with blu ray .

[felixjc]

2:18 Lmao the building looks like a ps5

[gianniselvaggi]

One of your best videos, Jon. Well done!

[attiyt]

This is perfect!!! I got the popcorn ready! 🍿

[eastcoastgaming]

Love it. The book Console Wars, touches on Sony and their arrival to the gaming market. Good read BTW if anyone is interested in the Sega Genesis VS Super Nintendo Gen.

[erniesdeck]

This video reminded me of why I started watching videos on YouTube to begin with.

[GOODEUSMAXIMUS]

The wii bought my 600$ ps3 lol. I got a launch wii, didn’t like it, took it back to gamestop and two parents wanted to buy the only wii in the store from me. They starting out bidding each other right there lol.

[Rogue_Console]

I remember watching this dude do the ps3 vs Xbox almost 13 years ago!

[ianeons]

"Wii line beg and to fade"

Wii U: Am I a joke to you
You completely forgot it existed. It was released in 2012 as Nintendo's 6th major console, it sold relatively poorly but it is a great console beloved by many, myself included.

Amazing documentary. Glad PS2 was the console of my childhood - lots of great memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I still have that fully working back home since 2005 and the day will come I'll put that boii to work again.
