You Think Four Consoles Connected To A TV Is Impressive? Try More Than 400

As a gaming enthusiast who has been around for quite some time, I must say that Ibrahim Al-Nasser’s feat of connecting 444 video game consoles to a single TV is nothing short of astounding! It’s like stepping into a museum of gaming history right in my living room. From the Magnavox Odyssey to the PS5, it’s a testament to the evolution of gaming that I find truly inspiring.


It’s common to find several video game consoles linked to a household TV. However, Ibrahim Al-Nasser from Saudi Arabia is an exception to the norm. Instead of just a few systems, he has an astounding 444 consoles connected to a single television, earning him the title of Guinness World Records holder for this remarkable achievement.

As someone who has spent countless hours setting up and troubleshooting home entertainment systems, I have always wondered about the seemingly impossible task of connecting hundreds of gaming consoles to a single TV. In today’s world, with most TVs limited to just a few HDMI ports, it seems like an insurmountable challenge.

Ibrahim sets up various gaming systems on his television, ranging from modern consoles such as the PS5 to vintage ones like the Magnavox Odyssey from 1972. Additionally, he has connected older systems like the Nintendo 64, Neo Geo, and Wii U. Furthermore, Guinness World Records confirm that he also links plug-and-play devices and HDMI game sticks to his TV to reach a total of 444 systems.

When asked about his preferred gaming console, Ibrahim confidently declares that it’s none other than the Sega Genesis. Put simply, he considers it the greatest gaming console ever made – a title he believes it holds without a doubt, for all eternity.

On previous occasions, Guinness World Records has recognized video games. For example, YouTuber and modder Gunnar Turnquist received an honor in 2021 for developing the tiniest Nintendo 64. Earlier, in 2019, Hideo Kojima, creator of Death Stranding, was acknowledged by Guinness for having the greatest number of followers on Twitter (now known as X) and Instagram among video game directors.
