For me, it's gotta be the Gamecube. Not that there was anything that I could remember being fundimentally wrong with it. There just weren't any games I liked for it. By the time the last console generation ended, I only had like seven games for it. :P

My Wii isn't looking much better, though. I gotta stop buying Nintendo. They just don't get my kind of games on their consoles anymore.

Well I classify worst a bit different than you. I do not just name something I did not like just because of my tastes. The worst console I ever owned would have to be The Virtual Boy. Good lord why did I have to be so young and stupid. My parents should have known better :P.

By the way, the Gamecube was a wonderful system imo. Really loved the exclusives. I will never forget buying my first game, which was Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. Seeing how small this disc was was just too damn cool when I was 12 :P.

Well, I've greatly enjoyed all my other consoles, and even the different PCs I've gamed on, so I named the systems that I look back at with some regret. That's why they're the worst to me. I never had a console that was jsut plain painful, or maybe I'd have a different definition too :P

I owned maybe 5 games for that system during its life cycle. Same for the GBA.

They were pretty much Pokemon machines.

The worst system, though...that's the Wii. I just haven't had a very good experience with it, through some fault of my own (not getting enough games for it).

I wouldn't be gaming right now if it wasn't for the XBox 360, so no. Its a terrific console that is mercilessly bashed by Cows for no particular reason other than it isn't made by Sony.

The worst system I've ever owned? I'd say it was an Athlon XP 1700+ gaming PC with a Soyo Dragon+ (Via KT266a) motherboard which died within a year. I replaced the Soyo with an Abit, also based on a Via KT266a. That one died within six months. Finally, I got an ASUS nForce 2 mobo that was finally problem-free. I never bought a Via-based motherboard again.

All my consoles were okay, even the 3DO.

Wii. After owning it since launch....not ONE game has made me go "WOW i NEED to play that game" not one. I want to sell it badly, but i first I would have to clean it off all the dust on it, and make sure everything is properly working. I have been busy lately.

to be fair the 360 and ps3 share too many titles, great and awesome titles neither should be considered the weakest one.

In term of reliability I am going to go with 360, no other console has had me go through so much hassle. In term of fun I would say (and I am going to get destroyed for saying this)... gamecube...

The PS1. Yeah, I am lucky.Willy105
Same here I might of liked it better if I had more games for it but I also had an N64 and I had more fun with that so after I got an N64 I hardly played my PS1 again because all my friends had N64s that is all we played.

With Playstation I only had like 5 games for it.

Edit* These are all the systems I have owned/still own.

  1. 2600
  2. NES
  3. Genesis
  4. SNES
  5. PS1
  6. N64
  7. Dreamcast
  8. Gameboy Color
  9. PS2
  10. GCN
  11. GBAsp
  12. Xbox 360
  13. Wii
  14. DSi

Red are systems I don't have anymore and I never played 2600 for Genesis it broke, and Xbox 360 my brother moved out and took the system with him it was good and I had a lot of games for it but I just never bought another one I'm getting a PS3 soon.

Well, here's what I've owned over the years:

Colecovision
NES
SNES
Genesis
PSX
N64
PC - Athlon 750 w/256m RAM & 32m Geforce 256 (later switched to 128m Geforce 5200)
PS2
Xbox
PC - P4 2.8 w/ 1g RAM & 128m Radeon 9600 (later switched to 512m Geforce 7600)
DS
Wii
PC - i7 920 w/ 6g RAM & 1g Radeon 4870
PS3

Out of all those, I'd have to say the Xbox was the worst purchase. Aside from Halo, it was all a bunch of games I could've just played on the PS2 or PC. And THEN the final nail in the coffin for me was how MS completely abandoned it once the 360 came out. A close second, however, was the N64 (I know it was alot of people's first console on here, and that's why I think It's so fondly remembered on here). The number of games I really enjoyed on that console number in the single-digits.

I agree neither of them should be. Though imo due to the hardware problems that is why I said it was the "worst" out of that list. If it was 2007 or 2008 I would agree on the PS3.

Gamecube as well for the same reasons. Last gen kinda sucked tbh,

emorainbo
Are you out of your mind? Last gen saw the beginning of majority of big franchises that we're still playing to this very day. Call of Duty, Guitar Hero's, Halo's, WoW, Half Life 2 series, Battlefield's etc. etc.

I played Road Rash on it the most. The sounds the bikers made when they got smacked made me want to smack them some more. :lol: I think Road Rash 3DO was one of the first console games to come with extra content like music videos. Great game. That's why I got my avatar from it.

I played that plus Madden, Star Control 2, and Need for Speed.

Consoles I've got my moneys worth: N64>NGC>Wii

Consoles I didn't really buy many games for and nor did I enjoy all that much: Xbox 360>NDS>Playstation 1

EDIT: On second thoughts, I've enjoyed the BC on the Xbox 360

Yeah, the Wii wasn't that great for me. The only reason I didn't give it its brown badge of honor was because No More Heroes is easily my second favorite game this gen. Thank god for Suda 51 :)

PSP. its the only system i have ever traded in. i still have 0 regrets about trading it in also. clearly not the platform for me. it got to a point where i would occasionsally turn it on, update the firmware, check out the changes and then leave it for a few more months.

Probably the Saturn or Gamecube, and I loved both of those consoles.
