The 10 Worst-Selling Consoles of All Time

It's a shame that the Dreamcast and TurboGraffix 16 died, both were really good consoles.

 The Saturn and VirtualBoy had pretty good games, but nowhere near the competition.

However it's sad to see lesser consoles supass these. I won't list though. 

The 3DO has more units sold than the PS3 right now... >_>foxhound_fox

Sorry bud, 3 mil>2 mil 

The comments on gamepro are classic. It is so dumb what people spout about. drsports1980

Poor Sega

I think this list shows that the PS3 is far from a flop at already 3 million consoles sold.

Same goes for the PSP. 22 million sold is not a flop.

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

bs! dreamcast is the best everrrrrrrrrr

Still it didnt sell very well.

Actually given how incredibly short it's lifespan was back in that day...it sold very well, except outside of japan. It sold 10 Million units in 16 months...not bad back in 2001. 

Wonder how many people are going to say "PS3 should be on that list." Endfinal

the ps3 was suppose to be on the list but it wouldn't have been fair to the other failures on that list. none of those consoles came off 100 million units sold last gen to 3 million sold this gen. that has to be the biggest flop consumer electronic history. hell it's worse than the xbox 1. at least nobody expected that to sell, not even ms.

damn its amazing how stupid people can be.  so your saying that the ps3 is supose be on that list because the ps2 sold 100 mill and its been 6 months and ps3 only sold 3 million? OK your smart.

it should be on that list because it's continually being outsold by the GBA. the GBA launch in 2001. that's 6 years ago and it's still outselling the ps3. that's a flop in anyone's book (except maybe yours. i heard you never took the shrink wrap off of it.) 

Too bad Sony destroyed the PS3 with the price they gave it. Anyone whos played it will 9 times out of 10 tell you how great the console is. Sony was actually dumb enough to price themselves out of the market they should be owning. Face it, if that thing had the Wii's price tag it would be right up there in sales with the 360 right now. PS3 is a discusting excuse for a console.

PS3 should not be on that list. Only fanboys think so. It hasn't even started up yet. I think it would be only fair to make such a list after the PS3 has already died. organic_machine

Well, it can't be because 1. it's too good and 2. it's only just started, you cant tally up the sales until the console's dead and gone. Well, theXbox 360 really was stilborn, so we can put that at number 1 regardless of sales.

How do you figure? 2 million is not greater than 3 million.

Same goes for the PSP. 22 million sold is not a flop.

They're still flops. I love how for some reason hardware gets different rules then game. Both those systems were hyped to do better then they did, and thus that means they're flops. They haven't sold bad, it's just that they didn't meet hype.

Give me a break. You don't even know what the word flop means. Quit throwing it around like you have a clue. It's too early to tell if the PS3 is a failure, but signs are pointing to no. It's selling just as fast as the 360 did for it's first 6 months. So if the PS3 is a flop selling just as fast as the 360 against some big competition, well then the 360 is a flop too. The PSP on the other hand, is far far from a flop. Just because it's not enjoying the insane momentum that the DS is, doesn't mean that 20 million sales after 2 years is anything to scoff at. On the contrary, the PSP has been a success so far. 

Excerpt from the Sega Saturn:

"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:

The console's high $599 price put the sting on gamer wallets, and a complex Cellprocessor architecture hindered game development leaving PS3 with relatively few good games. 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.
