Your poll makes choosing an answer very hard.



There must be, just look at them, Atari 7200 fails, Saturn is a complete non-starter, N64 disappoints, PS3 starts incredibly slow and so far XBone probably has the worst reputation i have ever seen for a console

...I swear I didn't see that coming...

...I can't say it any other way, either...



I'm not so sure. Let's think of the 3rd console for the major companies.

Sony- PS3 did well in the end but lost all earnings from PS1 and PS2!. Very expensive at launch, lost many gamers to Xbox 360
Nintendo- N64 lost most of Nintendo's 3rd party support most likely for good due to expensive cartridges
Sega- Saturn. Expensive and lacked much support outside of Sega
Microsoft?- Xbox One. Negative press all round. Bad reaction on price. DRM etc

Atari- lost everything from Atari 2600 days and helped led to their demise as a hardware manufacturer

Maybe it's true. So weird!



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
