Worst console/franchise

[Dommyboy]

I originally thought the Dreamcast was a show or a DVD player. Would of been a better console if they did some advertising for it.

madden and tony hawk are tied for worst franchise.
i'm not liking the psp right now. it gave me some good times, but now it's not worth it anymore

 

[Caliostro]

Definitely tied between the Gizmodo and Virtual Boy.


And destroys your body, the other destroys your mind. Pick your poison.

I didn't want anyone else to suffer. Plus, it's a shit console, and no one wants to buy shit.

Let's see here.

Atari Jaguar - Running 8 video processors in parallel is not 64 bit graphics.
EA Madden/NCAA franchise - I'm sure if they could find a way to put kill codes on all of their previous year games, they would. In fact, I might just change this to the entire DRM loaded EA franchise. Sure the games are fun, but why do I need to buy a new game EVERY YEAR.
3DO - One of my parents friends bought one a few years ago in a pawn shop for like 20 bucks. It was a great system that was too far ahead of it's time.
Duke Nukem 4 - Will it ever come out? The loose scheduled release dates are between 2010 and 20110. I'm serious.

Atari 2600-Before you say "It had classics like Joust" it also had A lot of terrible games and really to get worst console PAC-MAN was enough let alone E.T

Worst Franchise is Metal Gear. Man those games pissed me off.

I'd say for the handheld market the Sega Game Gear was pretty high on my list. That thing was a battery monster and was about as comfortable as the old xbox controllers.

Gah, don't get my started on them- 6 AA batteries=4 hours of playtime.
Horrible, freakin' horrible.

My tops
1) Virtual Boy
2) Turbo Graphix 16 (did anybody actually have that system?)
3) Sega CD (games on this system were NOT better than a computer with a CD-ROM)
4) MOST (not all) TIGER hand held electronic games (especially the Disney ones).

Anyone who says anything but the Atari Jaguar is lying to themselves.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Oh no I just wish to put my crusade amour away and scream "YEA WERE NUMBER ONE" to a few people, but a serious post for me would be the game boy micro its smaller with less features than the gba and sp but cost more

But isn't the point of Crusading to scream "YEA WERE NUMBER ONE" to people and then beat them until they agree?

And I never understood the point of the micro either. Unless there's some people out there that literally have no place to store things besides their pocket protector. Kinda like those stick cell phones that are about the size of a flash drive.

 

[Iron Mal]

I'll have to jump on the Virtual Boy bandwagon here (proof, as if it were needed, that innovation isn't always a good thing).

I'll also have to give mention to the games with 'Wii' in the title like 'Wii sports' and 'Wii fit'. From what I've heard they're just an assortment of mini-games and rainy day activities.

Finally, mention must go to F.E.A.R and it's spawn. Three words that summerised those games were: repetitive, dull and dark. I'm dreading the day when F.E.A.R 2 comes out (I've heard they're making it).

 

[dukethepcdr]

What about the Phantom? It ironically never got released.

Ah yes, the Phantom. I remember reading articles about it in game mags. I wonder if it was ever going to be a real console or if it was just some kind of prank.

 

[Hookman]

This probably isnt the worst console but its a serious contender:The Sega CD!
Does anyone own this piece of shit? Has anyone even heard it?!
Oh yeah and the crowd favourite it seems, The supposedly 'portable' pair of eyes on legs,The Virtual Boy
