Some of these don't belong.
1. At the time Nintendo was absolutely right in sticking with cartridges. Only a few game developers did anything useful with CDs. There was an embarrassing amount of shovelware and loading up games with FMV was the standard procedure. Like somebody said, if FF7 had been on N64 this wouldn't come up.
2. Was the Neo-Geo ever intended to be mass market? Regardless it lasted a long time.
3. Nintendo got money for Rare just at the right time. Even before the sale it was becoming obvious that the current Rare had no talent.
4. There were actually some pretty good games for Virtual Boy (Wario).
I am going to award the title to CD-i, mostly because it had the most hilariously dumb ads in the history of gaming.
I read an interview with the developer of the first 2 CD-i Zelda games, and the people running the division at Philips were insane. The system was released after the SNES, but it was less powerful than an NES. It was $700!
