Forums - Sales - The 10 Worst-Selling Consoles of All Time

It's amazing how poorly some of those systems did. At the same time, I can't beleive that some of those systems sold at all. Why did some people buy those systems? I remember when they were coming out and without even being any so called expert, I knew they would fail. Of the list, other than a couple of the Sega systems, I knew not one of them would make it with the exception of the 3DO. I thought it looked good and appeared to have some good games. I always remembered how their Street Fighter looked in print ads and articles. I thought it looked amazing at the time. Clearly better than it looked on any home console at that time. I don't think I knew it cost $700 though. If I did, I would've probably felt different about the system's chances.



I'll come up with something better eventually...

Does anyone think we would still be seeing the current great Sega games if it hadnt dropped/ lost the console war???? i dont , so it happened for the best !



I had no idea Apple tried to enter the market. Totally off my radar.



What about the handhelds?

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

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 :(

So much fail for such a short post. Sony is the reason MS entered the video game console industry.

N-gage? Game Gear? oh.  just home consoles, but then why Virtual Boy? I guess it could go either way.

 

Virtual boy isn't quite handheld. I can walk and play my DS/PSP. I can't walk and play Virtual Boy.

 

Plus there is an article on the article about handhelds lol

You should be beaten, burned to ashes then someone should throw your ashes from a plane

I bet Sony has lost more money on PS3 than Sega lost on Dreamcast
