If nobody's said it yet, the PC Engine SuperGrafx is a very worth candidate.

I actually know very little about the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16 around here) or its follow up. Never even saw one in person, not even at retail. I know it was popular overseas. What made the SuperGrafx so bad?

The WiiU has most likely designed to become a portable 3DS-2 some years later with its dual screen and low power consumption. That did work out somewhat with the Switch instead now having most of WiiU's games. Still a bad decision for the WiiU.
WiU it is.
On that list, easily Wii U. But there have been worse successors like the 5200 and the C128.

It was a massive commercial flop. I cannot find any sales data for the hardware, but it sold very poorly to be sure. Nowhere near the roughly 10 million that it's predecessor did. The PC Engine had hundreds of games, and the SuperGrafx had only 5....!
- Just found console sales numbers. 75k. A small fraction of the TG16/PC Engine. It was also only released in Japan and France.

The N64 is the only console that can both rank high in best consoles of all time and also get some mention in worst consoles lists because of its sales (and baffling cartridge choice of media which is what led to the low sales and all of its troubles in first place). The N64 was the power House of its time and delivered games that weren't possible on the competition based on pure processing power and Nintendo's game design genius. That said the GC sold far worse and to me was a worse console. |
It's because the N64 was home to monumental games as well as the most monumental F-up in video game history.
It's kind of like the SMD, a relatively average console when you examine everyone's place in history. At worst it's the best of the worst, and at best it's the worst of the best.

TG16 is great. So is The Turbo Express but SuperGrafx is the lamest attempt as a successor ever. TG16 is technically an 8-bit machine with its CPU. Genesis was a real threat so they rushed a 16-bit machine but it didn't really feel like a huge leap. Think of Gamecube to Wii in tersm of leap. Or maybe PS360 to Wii U. Games cost $100. Only 5 games made. SNES was a year away and Genesis was out.

It was a fun system. I think Ninja Spirit was the best game I played on it. I really liked the bundled game too, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. I never owned one, so I relied on a friend who had it, a gaming store where you paid by the minute, as well as a Kiosk at the now defunct Bi-Rite Drugs. Fun fact: The CD add-on for the TG-16 cost $684 with tax in Canada, in 1990. Ha! I did get try out a couple games on it, including Fighting Street, which I thought was tuuurible.

I'm actually pretty intrigued by it now. I need to find a history video!
The Saturn. Talk about a shot in the foot.
It didn't even have it's own mainline Sonic game.
