This is the perfect excuse to get all my Sega consoles out of the closet! Maybe I'll get to measuring and weighing them this weekend, if I'm not lazy.

Remember, launch consoles only!

Why the 64 and not the GC? Poor GC.

Will be updating with more when I dig out my other consoles, theyre mostly in storage.
I have added:

Gamecube
Panasonic Q
PSX



I would weigh my Gamecube, but I don't have a good way to properly weigh it. It's from either launch or pretty close to launch though, so I mean, it's an old purple cube. It still runs like a champ though, so go it.

They way I saw it I thought you should have made a mistake.

3 consoles from each brand. PS1 missing. NES, SNES and GC missing. It led me to belueve it was a 6th, 7th and 8th gen comparison, while the GC got missing by getting mistaken for the 64, so everything would be perfectly lined.

But cool then, the Slim PS2 is probably the tinest and lightest there is from the 4 big brands (that being said including Sega would be nice), but this is about launch models I see.

Eh screw it ill add other models too!

Gotta admire the dude's attitude though, he laughs his ass off at the situation.

Good luck opening and checking out the insides of your Wii when it stops reading disks.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Vert always heavy as expected
Noire really let herself go for a few months there



Man, I totally forgot that the PSX was a thing.

The fact that it weighed more than the PS3 is also a little amusing.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

If the Wii was 1.5kg, I wonder what the Wii Mini weighed..

Interesting list, for sure!

A bit later than I was hoping, but here is what I got for my Sega consoles:

Genesis/Mega Drive: (I have the smaller "Genesis 2" version of the console, so I didn't measure this one. I only noticed later that all consoles are now being accepted.)

Saturn:
26cm x 23cm x 8cm
Weight: 1.5kg

Dreamcast:
20cm x 20cm x 8cm
Weight: 1.4kg

What about handheld consoles? :)
