Without the wii u, the switch would never have been made. Sometimes failure also helps success?

The Wii U lacked games. But most of the first party games it had were amazing.

I loved the Wii U
It had a great library. It’s Eshop was way better then the Switch. Not to mention the Wii U was basically just a larger version of the Switch

I love my Wii U, and I don't regret buying it for a second. It has the best retro Nintendo games and some of the best Wii U exclusives which were later ported to the Switch

PS Vita breaks my heart. Such an amazing device.

[diegopansini]

The Wii U was so much fun! Especially to play with friends, so underrated

[RomnysGonzalez]

The Sega consoles were so damn good man. I loved every single one

[sugreev]

I bought PSOne over the Saturn, which my friends insisted on instead. I remember when we first played the MGS on my PSOne and their jaws dropping just with the intro, that they switched over to Sony too. I was so young back then and always thought that the Sega/Nintendo rivalry would continue forever, never thought my Playstation would dethrone them both. I held off asking my parents for a Nintendo 64 until 1998 or so, because I was so happy with my playstation. The late 90’s and early 00’s were an interesting time for gaming.

For the record...Dreamcast was absolutely amazing. I loved it and basically wore out my copy of rippin' riders.

[sheemalmighty]

I loved Dreamcast. Shenmue was the coolest thing ever to me at the time lml

[thegamerprofessor]

The Dreamcast in my opinion was my favorite console. Marvel vs. Capcom, Resident Evil Code Veronica, and my all time favorite. Skies of Arcadia. And i could get a modem and play online with other people?!? Gave me only good memories.

This is like the 4th time WatchMojo has made a "worst consoles" list.

[Markimark]

The Nokia N-Gage was a far bigger failure than most consoles on this list, because it hurt Nokia’s mobile phone business in the long run. Nintendo’s Virtual Boy was just a failed experiment. I remember going to T Mobile store and the N Gage was so awkward and the UI was so terrible!

[blackenedheart]

The Commodore CDTV system if I remember correctly sold less than all of these systems since it barely even worked! I think they sold less than 9, 000 units worldwide!

[ericketeer]

I still own a Sega Saturn. Bought it mostly because of the success of the Genesis. I haven't played it in a very long time though ...

[neliaironwood]

Out of all of the consoles, I'd say the Ouya is one you can tell was bound to fail anyway, as it was basically an Android TV that was inferior to flagship phones at the time and flagship phones at the time were starting to get more demanding games especially when these Korean mobile RPGs started to take over in 2014

[jojothecold]

The sega Saturn was actually a pretty good console it had a very solid line up

[galloping-bison]

I still own and play my Wii U! Seriously underrated console. There are so many great games that I can see why many have been ported to the switch.

I remember wanting a Sega Saturn as a kid. Sadly, no money to buy it.
