Poor Sega. Only if you kept going then M$ wouldn't of enter the consoles industry. Damn you Sega for letting an evil corporation enter the market.
But I still love you Sega, now hurry up and localize Yakuza 3 world wide :(

It was an evil corporation that helped run Sega out of the console business to begin with.

Zelda: The Wand of Gannon?

I think someone needs to do a little research and verify they have the names of the games correct, however crappy said game may be, before they finish their article.

 

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

Yes the CD-I was the result of an attemp by nintendo to get panasonic to make a cd base console for them (thats how the ps one started too) but later they whent with cardtriges, so panasonic had the rigths for many nintendo games, but none of the developers, so panasonic developed a zelda and a mario game for the CD-I, two abominations that could only be used to torture people by inquisition.

Didn't you see majoring of the posts here, Sega made many mistakes.
If you don't believe that then I feel sorry for you!

Of course they had a lot of self-inflicted injuries. Look at how many failed consoles they have on this list. It's why I said Sony only helped run them out of the business.

The main thing wrong with this list is that it did not go back far enough to be called "of all time."

With the exception of the Atari 2600, no console from the classic (pre-NES/FC) era sold 10M (the Atari sold 30M in its dozen-plus year run).

Consoles today with lively homebrew communities and general followings -- such as the Colecovision (6-7M). Intellivision (3-6M depending upon source and interpretation), Odyssey 2/Videopac (unknown), and Atari 5200 (unknown) sold less than the DC.

Plus, there were a multitude of other consoles which didn't sell that well: RCA Studio II, Fairchild/Zircon Channel F, APF MP-1000, Bally Astrocade, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Vectrex, etc. -- as well as pong and other dedicated units and the original Magnovox Odyssey.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Sony had a lot to do with it. I doubt the Saturn would have been such a big failure if Sega only had to compete with Nintendo.

 



If you are interested on those older stinkers, the angry videogame nerd has done specials on pretty much every one in the list besides the saturn and the dreamcast.

Hi, first post.

Anyway this article was terrible. We are missing many high profile consoles. Stuff such as the NeoGeo AES & CD, Amiga CD32, PC-FX, SuperGrafx. And if addons are included where is the Jaguar CD? Dreamcast definitely outsold all of these.

The writer should have done his homework first.



I can't believe the Saturn failed that bad. :(
I LOVED IT!!
