The Wii Everything sucked about this console.
The PS1 it had Final Fantasy, but otherwise the ps was worse than the N64. Thankfully he PS2 made up for this.
The Nintendo original because I was too young to really enjoy it.

The Wii is the worst console. No online. So simple and banal.

I suspect you haven't actually used a Wii.

As for the rest, let me guess, under 20?

For me, the worst I owned was the Wii.

Least amount of games I've ever played/owned on a nintendo system and also the one with the worst third party support.

Same. But if we're including ones we haven't owned or played I'm going with Virtual Boy.



Xbox 360. That shit broke so often, it's beyond ridiculous. I had to send in that fucker 8 times (!) and eventually just bought a second one. On top of that, there wasn't an optical output. I had to friggin' build an adapter myself to get sound to my amp. Also, no WLAN. What is that? In the year 2005 a console should have WLAN. I still remember dat 50m cable going through my whole house. Ugh.
Last but not least: fuck those hard drive prices, seriously!

You can have a lot of fun with the 360 no doubt and it also is quite powerful. But the hardware itself is just plain cheap and of shitty quality. It really was a treat when I first got a PS3. It had all I was missing with the 360. Of course, I'm still talking only about hardware.

Yeah, I'm aware that later revisions of the Xbox 360 were better in many regards, but that doesn't help.my personal experience I had with the system over the years.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

One of Bandai/Apple's Pippin Atmark/@World or Bandai's Playdia get my vote.

Game.com or Gizmondo perhaps when it comes to handhelds.

The PC Engine Supergrafx is also pretty bad as it had fewer than 10 games released for it (although it was backwards compatible with hundreds of PC Engine games).


Of the more mainstream consoles on that list, the N64 is probably the worst. There are some of the best games ever on the system (Zelda, GoldenEye, Mario Kart, etc.), but it was not a fun system to own at the time. Cartridges were overpriced and there was a constant lack of games for the system for its entire lifespan.



To the person above who suggested the Saturn. Tsk. Tsk.

There are over 600 games for it in Japan, many representing the pinnacle of 2D gaming.

xbox one, could've been great like early 360.



For me personally I guess the wii was very disappointing, I didn't buy one for a quite a few years after launch which is not normal for me when it comes to Nintendo systems. Then when I got one I was really just using it to replace my gamecube most of the time and not buying and playing many wii games. I still have about 20 gamecube games and only about 6 wii games.

Consoles that I think were poorly judged and designed for their time are consoles like the Commodore CD32, Commodore C64GS and Amstrad GX4000.



The worst console I ever tried was the Virtual Boy. It was marketed as a portable system, but that piece of crap is as portable as my damn sofa ( it's not).

Worst console ive owned would have to be the Gameboy Advance SP.

Best console would have to be the PS2 Slim.



Gamecube. It had a lot of good games, but it was the worst i owned. Doesnt mean it was a bad console though.
I just havent had a lot of consoles yet.
