Joigga, ur a jerk.
Probably the Wii, its pretty pointless, not next gen and just a novelty that wears off way too fast. Even with how cheap it is i don't see how so many ppl want one.
Does the Virtua Boy count? 32X?
If not probably the Atari Jaguar.
Virtual Boy was ahead of its time. Had the screens been in full color it wouldn't have gotten such a bad rap. I wish they would try it again now that costs are down and graphics have improved. It's def Nintendo's only failure though.
Jaguar is an honorable mention. 32X wouldn't have done so badly had Sega not released Saturn around that same time.
Even though the Wii loses its appeal after awhile, it did bring a new level to gaming that didn't exist before.
PS3 has the potential to be the best "next-gen" console so I think its too early to say its the worst.
What about Neo-Geo, TurboGraphix16, Saturn?

The Saturn was actually a really good machine, more powerful than the original Playstation at least. Unfortunately it didn't have enough software support therefore it died. Same went for the Dreamcast.
I've got a Wii, a 360 and a PS3. Wii is a bit of a novelty as other people have said, but it is great for parties. PS3 is massively capable, but let down by the fact that no-one has really taken full advantage of it, and there aren't enough really good games being released for it. 360 is easilly the best of the current consoles on the market. It gets the most use in our house, and online the PS3 just can't compete.
I did actually have an Atari Jaguar, got one when they first came out, and there were some good games available. But on the whole, yeah I'd have to say it was the worst console ever - or at least the worst console I've ever owned.
Best console ever was the Sega Megadrive (sorry, Genesis, for the guys in the US - I always forget it had a different name). Great games, more choice than probably any other console ever and so much fun. Although I was much younger then and probably appreciated it more!

The Saturn is actually the only Sega console (excluding Master System) that I did not ever own. I Started with Genesis, upgraded to SegaCD, upgraded to 32X and then bought Dreamcast because its graphics literally blew me away.
Maybe this thread would do better broken up into Console Generations
360>PS3>Wii - I say this because 360 has a better library and better online play.
Dreamcast>Xbox>GameCube>PS2 - Hands down for me the DC had the best graphics not to mention introduced online play to the gaming world. PS2 had the worst even though it has the better library of all the consoles during this time.
N64>PS>Saturn>Jaguar - Even though it didn't have the library PS had, its graphics were smoother and introduced us to Rumble and the Analog Stick
SNES>Genesis/SegaCD/32X>TurboGraphix16 - SNES owned 16-bit world
NES>Master System - NES owned the 8-bit world
Atari 2600>anything else available at the time :D

Worst console of all time:
The Atari Jaguar, why?
the thing was overly hyped, remember the slogan? "Do the Math" the where promoting that it was a 64bit machine, whereas the rest where 32bit. Which was probably correct, but the Jaguar had some of the worst games in history. At least the other doomed machines like the 3DO or CD-i had some good games in their short lives.

Out of the consoles I've played, the worst has got the be the original N-Gage. The ergonomics of it are made for taco-eating penguins. The games are decent, but I rather carry a DS/PSP and a phone around with me.
Granted, most consoles have at least a few games that could justify it's existence. But when it comes down to that, it's the quantity that sets the GBAs from the N-Gages.

CDI takes it. My dad bought one for xmas waaaay back in the day when they first came out for xmas... To be fair it was ahead of its time too, first console to use CD's i believe. It just had crap games and a crap controller. The only genuinely fun game i played for it was the included shooting gallery game which was pretty damn awesome, otherwise they sucked, or you couldn't find any games for it at all. Pretty sure I've never met anybody who ever owned one or even knows what it is.

3DO/CD-i for the obvious ones that tried to be console/entertainment hybrids far too soon.
Virtual Boy for the migraine inducing madness and really awkward posture required to play it.
Sega CD/32X for terrible support on mediocre hardware.
N-Gage wins for handhelds, being outclassed by even the Sega Nomad.

Time for me to jump in a defend my darlings!
The 3DO system, while not amazing, was far from the worst system ever created. Yeah, it was pricey, but it was a decent system, churning out amazing graphics for the day. It was also one of the first consoles to use CDs, thus hearalding in the current generation. Overall a good system with some decent games on it (Wing Commander III was easily the best)
The Virtual Boy: A very revolutionary system for the time, and the first indications that Nintendo really wanted to inovate. I really regret not getting one of these at the time (stupid money restrictions when I was 13!) as I'm sure I would have enjoyed it. I remember playing the tennis game at a display in a Toys R Us store. I had to be dragged away. Sure it gave a bit of a headache, but I had a hell of a time! They should revisit this idea now.
Mr. E:
I really don't believe your statement concerning the NES "owning" the Master System. Everybody I know who actually played the SMS instantly said how much better it was than the NES. It had much better graphics, a similar control pad and a tonne of killer games. All the NES had going for it was market penetration, which is obviously the important thing when looking at success. HOWEVER, when gaging as to which system was "better", the SMS was buildings over the NES. Now, I may be slightly biased, as I was the owner of an original Sega Master System (Myself and my two sisters got it as a christmas gift the first year it was available), a Sega Master System II and most recently an original Sega Master System again (the first two systems refused to work again after a few years of 3 kids torturing it :D )

its not really a full game system or a console but i'd have to say the n-guage was one of the ****tiest electronics of all time.

I never owned SMS. Closest I came to it was owning a Game Gear. I can see your point though cause I actually felt the same about Genesis being better than SNES but Nintendo really dominated the 8 and 16 bit era so its hard for me acknowledge Sega above it... esp after the mess caused by SegaCD, 32X and CDX.

Yeah, unfortunately Sega really ran themselves into the ground with one bad business decision after another. It's sad really, because I really loved all of the Sega systems I played.
I you can ever find one I would seriously suggest picking up a SMS, it really is worth it.

I think we all pretty much agree which where or are the worst consoles ever made.
Don't want to get off topic here, but I really don't want to start another thread.
So let's start to also mention "The worst pheriperals of all time"
I have to say that if it's not the worst is certanly the stupidest of all:
R.O.B. (Robotic Operation Buddy) for the NES, Oh man!! Need I say more?:rolleyes:

I was thinking CD-I, also. Or Commodore's CDTV, which was basically a reconfigured Amiga 500 with little or no software available for it.
Worst peripheral?
I'd say these various little gemstone peripherals that come with dolls and give you "secret" access to a web site have got to be up there.
Power Glove wins for coolest concept that barely worked.

If it was worst game it would have been tonnes easier, but i gotta say
PS3
(im not a fanboy so dont use that excuse)
Its just such a bad marketing failure on most levels. Im a gigantic PS2 fan, the first proper console i had that made me go WOW! it had such a games library, was so accessable and i think was just great. But the PS3, just...its so unconventional, it SHOULD appeal to most people as the PS2 did, but it had Blu-Ray discs, a catastrophic price tag, not one game that I MYSELF would be interested in.
I mean, before PS3, i was a gigantic PS2 fanboy, i remembered the days of scribbling out Halo and righting ***lo instead because i just thought it was a cheap wannabe from Microsoft, as was the Xbox. And when i heard the price of the PS3 i just was put of it completely. The 360 was there, had excellent games, was cheaper, my mates had it and so i bought it, and absolutely love it, dont regret it for a second.
Had i gotten a PS3 i would have gotten the 40gb version. Cheapest (yet its still £300, for an entry level console thats ridiculous). 2 USB ports, compared to the 360's 3. No backwards compatibility for EU (where i live) so no PS2 games on it. The SIXAXIS controller are sluggish, slow, jerky and i just dont like them, its trying to be a Wii and a 360 controller but failing.
Right, i said my bit, feel free to rip me to pieces, as i expect :)

Okay, The PS3, Wii, and 360 are not the worst consoles cause their life span has not been run and we have not seen what their full potential is yet.
The winner of the worst console I say should be awarded to:
The Dreamcast, why? Because they quit on the system before it was given a chance to shine. It could have been awesome, but Sega just gave up.

When a console has broken 4 times,seemingly soon to be 5,has scratched up 4 of your discs (no I didn't move it),going through a **** load of trouble the 3rd time it broke,having to redownload everything or wait 3 weeks and make 4 calls to get a piddly 150 points back and you're told to pay or wait everytime you try to DL a "free" demo but won't because it's "superior" online play actually lags to hell in 95% of the games while having racial slurs hurled every second word and you've had all your saves deleted twice through no fault of your own and the back of your 360 service guide is filled with 18 service numbers....that's not going to change when the life span has been run.

I may have missed it, but nobody's mentioned the Atari 5200. Wotta piece of junk. There was one "good" game: Jungle Hunt. The controller was horrible: a way-too-loose shrimpy joystick combined with a calculator pad. Awful stuff. The graphics were better than the 2600, but that's about as good as it got.
The 3DO was pretty bad, in that it clocked in at a steep $800 retail at launch. Unthinkable!
Somebody mentioned the Neo-Geo, but I can tell you that I loved that system (even though I only had three games, since they cost $200 a piece). I played the holy hell out of Samurai Shodown!

Any person who says Wii, PS3, or 360 is the worst console of all time needs to be locked in a room and forced to play some of the old, really crappy consoles of yore for like a month.
After that, even cup-and-ball will look like a great entertainment device.
Better yet, just slap a sticker on their forehead that says "brainless corporate tool".
Yes, all three of the current systems have shortcomings in one regard or another. But all three are good, and you should be thankful for the world we live in where you not only get to complain about a current-gen game console, but THREE game consoles.

Thats why I didn't buy a 360. Every good game on the system involves a gun. (Halo, Gears, Bioshock, Mass Effect) See the trend? I like the PS3 for gaming variety and blu-ray. It's a matter of choice. You can't openly say one system is better or worse. These next-gen consoles do things that I would have never thought possible 10 years ago. All three are amazing in their own right.
As for my two cents.
The Dreamcast owned mostly because of Shenmue and Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Worst system - Jaguar

I forgot about the CD-I when I suggested Virtua Boy, 32X and Jaguar.
The CD-I would take it hands down except I don't believe it was truly a gaming system. It wasn't marketed the same way as the comparable 3D0 which I do consider a gaming system and spared from my list. It was a colossal failure though.
I spared the 3DO because its failure had more to do with poor marketing and pricing and less to do with games. It had some great games - Road Rash, the original Need For Speed (which is better than many later versions that followed), Return Fire, Star Control II, one of the best home versions of Street Fighter.
I spared the Neo-Geo as it was ridiculously priced but at the time it was one of the few ways to play arcade perfect games at home short of buying an arcade game.
The big thing about the Virtua Boy, Jaguar and 32X was that all of these systems were released with a fair amount of hype and then pretty much abandoned by their makers. That's why they top my list. Doesn't matter if they could have been great or were ahead of their time - they just never got the software support to justify their purchase.
And somebody honestly mentioned the Vectrex on this thread????

Need to look at them for the time they were released. Of course they're crap games compared to today. Also I'm looking at it as the console itself so that means the one that's been the most trouble would be the worst and none have been more trouble for me than the 360.

Okay, just had to comment on this. If we're going to qualify games as 'good', they should probably be out so we can actually say they've been played. There are a lot of games with tons of potential that turn out to be crap (hi Lair) or at least a pretty big disappointment (hi Mario Sunshine).
Eye of Judgement is pretty niche, MotorStorm is not what I would describe as good where a racer or arcade-style racer is concerned, and Folklore is a bit disappointing (but I guess I like what I've played of it). I have huge hopes for Little Big Planet and Gran Turismo 5.

I'll be honest and say I had to blink at this statement.
I'm trying to figure out which genres you could like and which genres you could not like that would cause this to be true.
That's an easy one,RPGs. Hopefully Lost Oddessy will be good but it's supposed to be 20 hours of cutscenes and 20 hours of gameplay + it's on 4 discs.

So you only enjoy RPGs?
I'd be hard pressed to name any next-gen RPGs that were particularly good, although I do like Eternal Sonata. :p
Lost Odyssey is hopefully not going to suck because otherwise I'll be picking up a PS3 for Disgaea 3 and Suikoden VI down the road. ;)
Actually I'll probably be picking one up anyway because it's Disgaea and Suikoden.

Not me. I wasn't the one you quoted. I'm just saying the genre of the person you quoted is likely to be RPGs since that's what the 360 severly lacks. Overall Mass Effect is pretty great and I'm not sure if Folklore counts but that's awesome too.

no way. oblivion, two worlds, mass effect, eternal sonata, and eventually fable 2. 360 isn't lacking too much.

Oh, sorry. I'm kinda alt-tabbing between phone calls at work and not really reading names. :p
COMMENT STILL STANDS THO.

Assuming we're talking about traditionalist/JRPGs, the 360 is lacking pretty hard in quality ones. It's got two solid Western RPGs in Oblivion and Mass Effect, but Two Worlds was pretty garbage and Fable 2 is of unknown quality. :)

Dreamcast>Xbox>GameCube>PS2 - Hands down for me the DC had the best graphics not to mention introduced online play to the gaming world. PS2 had the worst even though it has the better library of all the consoles during this time.
QFT... Dreamcast > All, anyone else by an extra set of batteries for the VMUs before realizing that they die way to fast? I just loved messing with my Chao man!
As far as the worst? I couldn't say. I've always heard about the Commodore being pretty terrible....
How about the old school Game and Watch modules? Do they count as consoles?

Who was knocking my TG16? I'm still trying to score a TurboDuo. We used to play the game that came with that as middle-schoolers... "Gate of Thunder" and a few other games... and now I can't find that console to save my life.
If you have a TurboDuo or a Jaguar and want to hock it, let me know!

Atari 2600>anything else available at the time :D
Even though it came a little bit later, the Colecovision was far superior to the 2600 (and it even played 2600 games with an adapter)
