Don't remember the Saturn thing.

N64 was a pretty big one, but honestly it could have gone either way. There are definitely advantages to cartridges too. For example, the SNES does not have the capability to do 3D graphics. It has 3D games because they stiffed more hardware into the cart. If it were early in the 90's, and you were the only dog in town with Star Fox, you'd probably be optimistic about what devs were going to be able to do with an even more powerful base system and said custom hardware becoming smaller and more affordable. You'd also probably be wondering what the hell anyone was going to do with a gigabyte of game anyway.

The GameCube mini discs aren't actually that small in storage compared to the competition, and it doesn't matter anyway because you could swap just like on PS1. The thing that's most weird about them is actually the reverse spiral, which was clearly an anti-piracy measure.

RRoD is up there, along with the system destroying discs with the slightest environmental motion. In the same generation, you also had the PS3's YLOD problem, which was less infamous but if it happened to you, equally devastating.

599 US Dollars managed to become a meme, but I guess for somebody who usually waited a little while for a deal anyway, I personally didn't care too much. I bought mine at 399 US Dollars and it came with MGS4! ... Then I bought my next for 199 US Dollars when that one YLOD'd.

Honestly, the Wii U eff up went a lot deeper than the name. They also failed to market the system at all. At its own reveal, they failed to show pictures of it or even to say "it's a console." They just showed off and talked about the controller. Lifetime gamers who watched the event live were arguing on the Internet about whether it was just yet another Wii peripheral. Like, not even just grannies at GameStop.

No used games was probably the worst, tbh. Because not only was it with intent, but there were actually no upsides for the consumer or the virtue of producing a good product.

"Do you not have phones" was a really dumb thing to say but ultimately saying something stupid isn't as bad as literally any of the other things on the list.
