The worst Console you ever bought? (includes handheld)

I think I liked most consoles I've owed. I had a borrowed Virtual Boy and that just gave me headaches. (does this count?)
someone should mention the N-Gage....
But my worst console was the ps1, memory cards suck....that system needed a cartridge!

I've never bought and/or played a console/handdheld I didn't like. Sure, some are better than others, some had a great game line-up while others took a dive early on with little or no support but each has a place, big or small, in gaming history. Without the failures we'd couldn't measure the successes.
The Wii. I was a huge Nintendo fangirl, but man, I really can`t stand the irreponsive Wiimote and the bajillions of generic games on the console. I only bought it for Metroid, Zelda and Okami. I don`t plan on buying anymore games.
An imported Dreamcast before they became available in the US. Was awesome on the one game I was able to actually play due to having English subtitles, but after that all it was good for was collecting dust till I was able to trade it in for an actual Dreamcast. Even then, Dreamcast was one of my my least played console. Probably the only one I played less than it was the Lynx which I only had like three games for.
Next would be the Wii. I hate the remote and after playing it for a very short while my hand always starts to hurt. If it wasn't for Mario Kart I'd probably just give the stupid thing away.

It's a toss up between the Gamegear and the 360 for me.
The Gamegear was just terrible on every count, not least it's unstoppable battery habit. In the end it became a home console as it was permanently wired up to the mains.
The 360 was great, until it broke. the second one was great, until it broke too. The refund was a lot better.
I'm one of those people who expects something to work or takes it back, so the 360 has some pretty fundamental floors for me. It stil wasn't as bad as the Gamegear though.

I love all my consoles...

Hmmm, nope, don't regret any

The Wii by a longshot.
I own 1 game for it, and have only seen maybe 3 or 4 I was even slightly interested in over the 2 years I've had the damn thing.

I think this thread is just made to have a go at the Wii, though I'm not complaining. Bought the stupid thing just for Brawl and that turned out to be the biggest let down ever, plus all the games on the virtual console look alot more appealing than anything I see on the shelf or the bargain bin!
This, I ended up giving it to my girlfriend who was initially fascinated by it, two weeks later she put it down, neither of us want to touch it.Talendra said:
nope, i asked the question because people have their own ghost stories of consoles they bought that they thought were rubbishNazulu said:
other wise i would have said i hated the wii, in my opinion its not the worst console ever made, it had its moments to be fair
It's a tossup between the PSP, the PS3, and the Wii. They all have one thing in common: I barely ever use them. I suppose the Wii is the worst in the end, however, if only because I've played a couple of decent games on the PSP and the PS3.
