Worst Mistakes in Gaming

What is your list of the worst mistakes made in gaming? So many to choose from, but what is your list?

Mine is...

1. Virtual Boy
2. Nintendo saying "screw off" to third party developers with the N64.
3. Sega abandoning Saturn third party support in favor of forcing the Dreamcast.
4. Capcom disolving Clover Studios
5. Blu-Ray as the standard for the PS3
6. UMD

I know, not much of a list, but maybe you can do me one better.

1. Sega CD/32X. It basically killed Sega. They were on a high from the Genesis and whatever momentum they had was destroyed by these add-ons.

2. Nintendo's CD project. It not only delayed everything Nintendo was doing, it convinced Sony to enter the videogame market, dominating Nintendo for a decade.

3. A delayed $600 PS3. Sony went from destroying the competition to pushing back their next generation console by a year and launching against the Wii while MS enjoyed getting a foothold in the market during their 12 months of freedom on the market.

4. Virtual Boy. Seriously, WTF Nintendo?

5. RRoD. MS could have really challenged Sony's dominance and probably could have won the battle against the PS3 had they made a box that didn't like to break 33% of the time.
