How could anyone vote anything over the Virtual Boy. Poll is either full of idiots, trolls or other systems fanboys.


Alternately, people who never even saw a Virtual Boy in real life. I have literally never even heard of anyone I know even knowing someone who knew someone who actually owned one. Its a really obscure item, among the most obscure in gaming history and is believed to have sold between 500k and one million worldwide. I've never come across anyone who owned a Dreamcast or Sega Saturn either, both of those moved about 10 million units.

Stop making this about fan wars, the Virtual Boy is likely utter crap but why should people vote for things they never tried or even saw just because it offends you personally? Its like me saying that "the Dacia Sandero is my least favourite car of all time, I have never driven one or seen one, but still, I hear its horrible". Should we also downvote movies we heard were shit when we never saw them or even know someone who did?

Get a grip, man.

For me, the N64 is the best console Nintendo ever made, followed by NES, SNES, Gamecube and the handhelds, never liked the handhelds. The Wii is my least favourite of all time, simply because of the direction it took, the lack of proper implementation of the Wii-mote in the vast majority if games, the really weak 3rd party library, the poor hardware, poor connectivity and UI, lack of media functionality, the extreme cost of peripherals and extra controllers, the games that never dropped in price, the lack of catching new IP's for me (Wii series is hardly my avenue). The console itself also remained quite expensive for my taste, considering what one got in the actual bundle.

As for the illusive Virtual Boy, I'm quite sure it was a disaster but I still never played one or even saw one in real life. I strongly doubt that 26 people who voted Virtual Boy has actually tried the thing, given the number of units sold, the number of responses and views on the thread, the number of voters in the poll and the amount of active users and even lurkers with users in here, statistics are very much against it. Voting for something you never tried simply because you've heard that its shit, making it your "least favourite", now that's a whole other kind of silly in my opinion.
