• Sega CD
• 32X
• Saturn
• Dreamcast
  

Its a shame that one of the best game devs of all time makes up 40% of the list :(d

I feel like playing Sonic CD now because I hear all of this its the best Sonic ever. Too bad I traded the CD add-on.

Poor TurboGrafx-16 :(hiho24

Well, for me it's a good thing. So in 15 years my collection of nearly 70 HuCards and 2 dozen Turbo CD games will be worth more than systems that had more mainstream appeal.

Yes, i understand you. I wish i had a TurboGrafx-16, or, even better, a TurboDuo. Well, at least i have a Neo Geo CD, and honestly, i like it. Too bad the thing has an 1X CD drive, and boy, the loading are indeed very long. But sometimes i play Metal Slug on it, and fortuately, the loading times of that game in particular are not a real problem.

Well it seems like they're trying to point out the downfalls of unsuccessful consoles and do a psuedo parallel to PS3 (which i don't disagree with), but there are some flaws.

Virtual Boy... NO KEY GAMES??? Telero Boxer? Mario Tennis? Red Alarm? Wario Land? Mario Clash? I mean it didn't sell well but it was damn fun and had a few gems.

Pippen... Didn't release so it really shouldn't count.

And what about Odyssey 2? Or Odyssey 1? they didn't sell well at all, and were full fledged systems not like Sega CD. I mean if that was on the list Jaguar had a CD add on that probably sold badly too.

And Neo Geo??

But it's Gamepro, "the worst in gaming press"  (they should really stop printing that on the covers)

Now THAT was a boxing game! I played that game for minutes at a time. :) 

It's such a shame that the Dreamcast had to be on that list. The single most underappreciated console in history.HeedleGlavin

Agreed, I still love my Dreamcast, it was a great console regardless of sales.  

How on earth did they forget the neo-geo?

It's ironic how the worst selling console is priced the same as the ps3 :wink: makes me think :lol:cyprus646

You do know most of these consoles were made in the early-mid 90s.  $600-700 in the early 90s is like $1200-1300 now.  $1700-$2000 if you live in New York (like myself).

It has nothing to do with price since Dreamcast was $200 and it failed.  It depends on if the console can appeal to casuals and thats it.

Or the "Frodo".  ;)

"The console's high $399 price put the sting on gamer wallets, and a complex multi-processor hardware architecture hindered game development leaving Saturn with relatively few good games. As a result, the more technologically forgiving PlayStation enjoyed a high influx of games to become the clear best-selling system of that generation. The "stillborn" Saturn would sell only 9.5 million units worldwide."

Is it just me, or does this excerpt sound familiar? Let me just make a few changes underlined:

As a result, the more technologically forgiving Xbox 360 enjoyed a high influx of games to become the clear best-selling system of that generation.

Yeah, I know it's biased, but it's still funny.

I had a feeling the Original Xbox Console might be on there, whew, nvm...Hermitkermit
