TopicWorst major console?

I'm torn between XBone and Vita. All of the other consoles on the list have their major saving graces. The original XBox was the powerhouse of the 6th generation and helped shape the current gaming climate, if not created it itself. The Master System was the superior console to the NES and the average Master System game was better than the average NES game. The system just lacked the phenomenal games we all know and love from the NES's library. The TG16 was lacking in smash hit games, but held the superior versions of a lot of 8-bit staples. Can't fault the Saturn because it was in many ways superior the the PS1 and N64 in terms of raw power, but that power was locked behind cryptic, proprietary architecture much like the early years of the PS3, and was hampered by Sega themselves, not by its own merits. The Wii U had one of the highest ratios of good to bad games the industry has ever seen, mostly because its library had such a high percentage of first party titles like Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, and four Zelda games, not to mention backwards compatibility with the Wii and the seeds of the Switch with its touch interface and ability to play in handheld mode.

So why the XBone and the Vita? The Vita is an OP piece of hardware for a handheld but isn't enough to give you the PS4 experience on the go the way the Switch does it, and having to develop for the Vita as well has hampered games that should have been better than they turned out. Not to mention the proprietary memory cards are trash and its home console counterpart, the PSTV looks like garbage even when I hook it up to my 900p drawing tablet. Meanwhile, the XBone has some decent games, but is in a constant state of cannibalism. The major XBox titles I'm buying this generation, I'm buying on the Windows store instead. Why? Because I don't need an XBox One when I have two Windows 10 PCs and all the games that I do get that are Microsoft-exclusive are way better in terms of framerate, performance, and resolution on my Ryzen-CPU PC . In addition, if I really want to, I can play them on my laptop and/or toaster as well, and they're still playable. Not as enjoyable, but still wholly playable. So I've decided that, due to how unnecessary the hardware is, the XBone is the worst system, IMO.
