Whaaaa? What did the Saturn do to you? It had great games.

Oh... i see that this thread got socially changed into: The worst consoles you have ever owned. xD

Let me get this straight... while others have listed PS2 and XB1, you decided to single out my post.  And no, the Saturn was not a good console.  At all.  Maybe that's part of why it completely bombed, eh fella?  Oh, and no I didn't own it.  My neighbor did and I knew within one day how bad it was.  I think they were giving away something like 10 games for it just so people would buy it.  Still not worth it.  Your reply let's me know not to ever take your posts seriously.

I used to love Saturn haters. They'd talk all kinds of shit about my Saturn in college then I'd start playing my import copy of X-Men vs. Street Fighter. They couldn't remove their foot from their mouth fast enough.



ps4, it has no gamez



The Wii.

It introduced a gimmick that made the industry try and capitalize on something that had no long term value. So instead of making "gamer's games", they made "grandma's games". You can hate on me all you want about either companies trying to make money or about how I shouldn't feel "entitled" to how games are made, but video games have their market and Carnival Games ain't in it.

And it's the one console where people didn't "buy it for the games". You can list all the Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc. but those same types of games sold nary identically on the N64 and GCN and those consoles sold 30M or less. So why is the Wii at 100M? Waggle and $20 shovelware that caught your mom's eye. It set the industry back, not forward. You can say that "it helped bring non-gamers into video games" but where are those people now? Not playing home consoles anymore but the 7th gen had enough influence for MS to pack in a Kinect to try and reach that audience....and look how that's turning out.

Every other console in which people "didn't buy it for the games"...guess what? It got discontinued. The same may happen with the WiiU as I feel that that system is indicative of the "true" success the Wii would have if it wasn't for "blue ocean" consumers.

And no, Nintendo did not rape my mom and shit in my breakfast.

Haha, I think the same can be said for your post, for anyone who's ever actually owned a Saturn.

I own a Saturn and it's a spectacular console with loads of quality games, many of which are (unfortunately) STILL exclusive to the system. It had games like Panzer Dragoon, Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Panzer Dragoon Saga, NiGHTS, Dragon Force, Astal, Daytona USA CIrcuit Edition, Fighters Megamix, Shining Force 3, Radiant Silvergun, Guardian Heroes, Burning Rangers, Dodonpachi, Galaxy Force, Saturn Bomberman, Virtual On, Die Hard Arcade, Layer Section and Thunderforce 5 among other games. The Saturn is also the home of the best versions of any multiplatform 2D game of its day due to its superior 2D capabilities compared to the PS1 and N64.

The Saturn bombed because it was very difficult to program for, had awful marketing in the west, and was $100 more. SEGA ended up having to give three games away with it towards the end because the chipset was too complicated to simplify and make more affordable, meaning that they couldn't keep up with the cheaper prices of N64 and PS1. That has nothing to do with it's library, which was spectacular and still holds up quite well. Maybe that's why the system has become a cult classic within the hardcore gaming community? And for the record, the Saturn actually did quite well in Japan, and apparently even outsold the N64. It recieved over 1000 games over there and had plenty of other spectacular games that unfortunately never made it over, like Dragon Force 2, Sakura Taisen 1 & 2, and Shining Force 3 scenarios 2 and 3. Thankfully, many Saturn games are quite import friendly, like Super Tempo, Donpachi and Dodanpachi.

Yeah, the PS3 was pretty much Sony's Saturn, all the way down to the huge number of great, original titles. The difference was it was clearly the most powerful system of the generation, and it was easier to make cheaper, so it was able to recover, unlike the Saturn.



Worst console I've owned is a tough one, I liked all of them, but maybe the Gamecube since I played the PS2 waaay more.



Just a little constructive criticizm if I may.

If you are going to make a thread like this and poll....have some fun with it, and do a little research and actually put all the systems "ever" up there.  The ones you listed don't deserve to even be on a worst ever list.

Or change the title to "Which console do you like the least out of the random ones I list?"
