[QUOTE="klabut"]No not current console such as ps3 I am talking past. If you are truly intelligent and familiar with the video game wars you would either say 3d0 or Jaguar which is my answer.JayPee89Teh Neo Geo? Neo Geo had some games. I say this because I was the few who actually bought one...

[QUOTE="-RPGamer-"]The only think that flopped about dreamcast is that it was discontinued. :(Of the big name console makers?
Sega's Dreamcast

It's sad that it was discontinued. At the time of the PS2's release it had so many more games worth playing.
[QUOTE="downPlayDemon"]Virtua Boy and that system made by AppleklabutMade by Apple? guess he meant the Apple II. Which wasn't a flop.
Probably either the CD-I, Supergrafx (not the same as TG-16,) or the FM-Towns Marty.
The 3DO made Trip Hawkins a ton of money, could of swore the Jaguar won $$$ from a lawsuit with Sega, which was promply lost launching the toiletbowl shaped (and performing) Jaguar-CD system.

Exactly, the other consoles were things I didn't ever consider to even purchase when they were released. A Sega system for me was a definitive purchase b/c of the previous consoles. Seeing it die early was sad, but also what i would consider one of the biggest flops.

Anyone saying the Dreamcast flopped is delusional. I had more fun playing Dreamcast than any other system.JayPee89
Saying something flopped has absolutely nothing to do with having fun with something. :|
I play games that are called flops here and get 5.0-7.0 range score wise. I liked the Dreamcast, saying it flopped doesn't change that.

[QUOTE="sonicare"]Probably the 3DO. That was too expensive and really had nothing in terms of games.Sparky04I wouldn't call the 3DO a flop because it wasen't really a mass market item. They made a limited supply of them and sold everything they made for a profit. It was even funnier..Trip Hawkins (of EA fame) made a killer deal with Panasonic to build 3DOs. Basically Trip made $$$ off of game royalties, while Panasonic could only make $$ off hardware sales. Trip got rich, but the console stayed at too high a price (since Panasonic got nothing from game sales to offset pricing) for too long, dooming it.

Yes, I'll agree that the Saturn was faltering a great deal, but the Saturn doesn't mark the end of Sega's console making days, the Dreamcast does.
Probably the 3DO. That was too expensive and really had nothing in terms of games.sonicareI had the 3DO and in a big fight with my brother I took the system and smashed it into the ground into a million pieces. Road Rash was a great game for the 3DO. I love Tripp Hawkings.
