Poll of the Day > Worst major console?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Every system has its defenders, lets see how this goes...

Low key X Box hater lol
---

Maybe it was the Sega Saturn. They really messed up the release in the United States and Europe by doing it earlier than they said it would actually come out.
---

The Atari Jaguar.

I'd say the Smash 4 box, but there's no way it's worse than anything Sega's made. They died for a reason. The best games they had were Sonic, the hold right and hope you don't run into unavoidable shit simulator.

Sega emulators suck too.

Yeah really. I just realized Playstation isn't an option. I mean yeah its a good system its just to bad all its exclusives suck.
---

Wii U for sure. I really don't wanna pay $350+ just for a Fatal Frame 5 player.

I love my Vita and still play it. I think I've actually played it more than any other current gen system tbh.
---

All Atari consoles are shit. I'd rather go play outside.

Other: N64

Because literally no one would say a PlayStation system is the worst? At least besides maybe a few arguments for PS3. I did have Vita though

Vita

The hell were Sony thinking after the .. what was it, the PSP?

Yeesh!
---

The Xbone is trash!!!! lol

Give me one good reason for me to buy that garbage (and dont say backwards compatibility).
---

The original Xbox is probably in my top 5 consoles of all time... It was the Wii U for me here. Nobody cared, including Nintendo, and it showed. The Dreamcast had more love and support.
---

Other: 32X or Virtual Boy

Most of the ones listed were decent systems that just sold poorly.

Vita is a scratch magnet, that makes it garbage despite performance.

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.

The Remasterstation 4

It only does....

*running hot as the sun
*the same games from last gen just prettied up
*pay to play online
---

XBox 360, made me give up on their systems. Short of getting one for free, I'm never getting a One.
---

I've never heard of a Turbografx?

TurboGrafx 16 / CD was a older system around during the late 80s and early 90s. It had the best version of Ys 1 and 2, awesome Bomberman games and one of the best classic style Castlevania games.
---

I'll have to go with the Xbone.

Nintendo systems have some fun unique games, and if you are a heavy player of games they still make a good second console. If you play fairly few games on consoles but still enjoy playing a console sometimes, they can even make a good primary one.

Sony gets almost everything Microsoft gets, but also has fuller support from Japanese developers so it gets all the jRPGs and niche stuff.

And the current gen of just about any Microsoft TRUE exclusive is questionable at best.

Yeah it's a good one. However it was also just a generic ad by ID software to promote Doom on consoles. Playstation had one Dreamcast had one and so did the Jaguar. They were all the same commercial with the last few seconds changed to whatever system was promoting it.
---

Out of the consoles I've played on in this poll, Xbox One.
Such a disappointing console especially coming after Xbox 360 which is probably one of my favourite consoles.

Wii U wasn't a perfect console by a long shot but it at least had Smash 4 which I've played so many hours with friends on.
---

N64

Since they were mentioned, I'm pretty sure the Jaguar, 32X, and Virtual Boy weren't "major consoles."
---

handhelds are not consoles

^ Yes, they are. The full term is handheld video game console.

If you voted for the TG-16 I hate you. Seriously one of my favorite consoles .

PS4

"Share Button" lol

Xbox One is also an acceptable answer, but it's currently the most powerful piece of hardware on the market.

Apparently that one only sold less than 30,000 units. Even the Jaguar and CDi did 10 times that.

32X

---

Virtual Boy I guess. I had no problem with any system I played so I can't really answer it.
---

I gotta go with Vita. But that's pretty much entirely because of how Sony botched its US release. Its not a bad system, but its an incredibly mis-managed system.
---

Supposedly the Vita improved greatly upon the PSP, but by then nobody was interested. Personally, I would be interested in the console if I could find it cheaply.

I think I'm going to go with Other: PSP out of all the major consoles I've used, although the Gamegear also ranks up there. Both are incredibly terribly designed handhelds. The UMD system was stupid for a system meant to be portable and, in addition to that, it was too wide for a portable system (the Gamegear had the same problem). The load-times were horrendous, which is less forgivable for a handheld.

Worst home console I've experienced might be the X-Box, since its controller was massive. The ps1 also kinda ranks up there for its awful load-times, etc, although it had a massive library to make up for it. I also wrecked my thumb while playing some fighting games for the ps1, including that kinda shitty XMvSF port which I recall feeling like the game moved slowly.
---

I'm going with the Vita. It was very poorly supported and absurdly expensive. It cost as much as a home console and had absurdly expensive SD cards which basically added to the already large cost of the vita. I was tempted to buy it for P4G at some point but the SD card was where I drew the line.

The Wii U was a disaster.

A lot of people had no clue it was a new console and then it had very few games. Nintendo made the right decision to ditch it and focus on the Switch which might be the best console they've had since the 64.

the wii u had some great games

Most consoles have some great games. It's not the only measure of success.

XBone is trash!!!!! lololollolol
---

I'm loving that xboner is winning.
---

X-Boner being trash makes me hope that Microsoft goes 3rd party and leaves the console war.
---

The only thing wrong with the Vita is that Sony was hell bent on sabotaging it. From overpriced proprietary memory to lack of support or interest. It's been kept afloat by everyone but Sony.

Being less successful doesn't mean it was a failure.

Pretty much killed off Commodore.

You've got a bizarre metric for making your list TC.
