Despite the fact that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S have been on the market for a couple of years now, the stock issues to meet demand and shortage of exclusive games of new generation have meant that there are still many users who have decided to postpone the jump and today they continue to enjoy their previous generation consoles. Not only that, it seems that consoles like PS3, which we could almost consider retro, continue to add a good handful of ghoras. Enough to surpass a new generation console like Xbox Series X | S.

PlayStation 3, released in Europe in mid-2007, was home to some of the biggest franchises on PlayStation today, such as Uncharted y The Last of Usapart from other memorable titles such as God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, the InFamous or Resistance saga. Without a doubt, the home of much of the current legacy of the blue company, so it is not difficult to imagine that it still has a significant number of nostalgic players who want to revive some of these modern classics.

Like many other entertainment companies, such as PlayStation itself, Nintendo, Steam or Spotify, How Long To Beat wanted to make its own “Wrap Up” for 2022 and at the end of last year it published a curious list with the most popular platforms among users of the tool. In case you’re not up to date, How Long To Beat not only serves to keep an up-to-date list of everything that’s been played at the end of the year, it’s best known for the tool that collect the number of hours that the players of the platform have dedicated to completing the games in its database to serve as a reference for other players.

In this way, How Long To Beat has compiled its list of the most popular platforms of 2022 and it is completely surprising, or perhaps not so much. Which PC was going to be the most popular was clear, as was the fact that the previous generation of consoles it would be above PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, but it is surprising to see PlayStation 3 over Xbox Series X|S. Xbox 360, a contemporary of PS3, also appears on the list just one place below its heir.
