Honestly none of them. There's a good reason why they're all pushing up daisies today.

Even in SEGA's case... if they were to somehow scrounge enough capital together to be able to afford to manufacture and launch another console, it would probably perform even worse than the Wii U is currently doing. What system-selling IPs do they have today? Sonic? Pfff... good luck with that.

Neo Geo. Say what you want, I think that there's a place for a high-end console in today's market.



Love and tolerate.

I'm not so sure how it would do today. That console was all about being an arcade for the home. The arcade ain't doing too great these days



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

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Then they'd have to change with the times, but the basic idea still seems alluring to me. Imagine the potential of a $1200 console. Basically, it'd be on par with PC's for half a decade at least, and would have high-end versions of all the multiplatform games. Plus, if the Neo Geo tradition continues, we'd end up with the sexiest looking 2D games of all time.

I wouldn't buy it, but I think it would be more interesting to have around again than Sega.

Or they could just do another amazing handheld like they did in 2000

Apple, to see them fail again.


I voted Atari but I think I'd rather see Apple fail then Atari rise back to power then cause a another crash or fail again themselves. I think most of of the list would fail these days unfortunately.

atari. so they can make ET 2 and fail miserably.

Coleco, of course. No ColecoVision, no Famicom and no SG-1000.
