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.

Probably the 3DO.  That was too expensive and really had nothing in terms of games.

Atari Jaguar did pretty bad. I remember it going from $250 to like $80 in one year.

Neo Geo had some games. I say this because I was the few who actually bought one...

Neo Geo flopped pretty badly (mainly due to it's enormous price). I had one though, and it was fun. :)

The 3DO and Jaguar also come to mind.

I have to say the Dreamcast because not too many people saw it coming. Sega, a vetern in the console wars hasn't made a console since.

Panasonic 3D0 didn't last long. I saw it being advertised briefly, then never saw it again.

It's sad that it was discontinued. At the time of the PS2's release it had so many more games worth playing.

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.

I saw a few ads for it too. But it was impossible to find you pretty had to order one to get it and the only kids that had it were the rich ones.

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.

The only thing CD-I was known for were the Zelda games that were thought to be some of the worst of all time because it had nothing else. I haven't heard of the other two systems.

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.

This isn't about which was the funnest. The 3do had some good games in it's Library but was an indefinite flop.

I'd say the Saturn flopped harder than the Dreamcast did. The Dreamcast, as a console, was doing well, it was Sega's own decision to discontinue it because they didn't have the money to fund the console.

I 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.

The Virtual Boy or CDI were flops for sure.  Then the Jaguar and 32X are next. (Even though I loved the 32X)  There is no way the Dreamcast was a flop.  You guys are just haters.

I 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.
