I'm always seeing threads on which system someone prefers and why, but I don't think I've ever seen a thread about which system from the each console holder you believe is the worst of the bunch. So which from the used to be big 4 (Nintendo, Sega, Sony, & Microsoft) do you think is the worst system they've created and why?

Nintendo Virtual Boy - Black and red screen only that caused headaches. Little software, even less that was fun to play. Quick death; only a few months on the market I believe.

Sega 32X - Required the Genesis as the controller port and power button regardless that it had its own power supply. Very few games that were worth a damn. Little to no improvement over the Genesis that was noticeable.

Sony Playstation Vita - Hardly backed by developers, including Sony itself. Aside from a handful of exclusive gems, the library is multiplatform or trash for the most part. Most of the great games playable on it are from the PS1 or PSP digital ports.

Microsoft Xbox One - Both 360 and X1 started horribly; 360 with extensive hardware failures and X1 with policy issues. I was on the fence but went with X1 as it has few exclusives I would play at the moment. This could change back to 360 if X1 gets some great exclusives as I find hardware failures of 360's magnitude unforgivable. At least they fixed it with later models though.

The Wii U has more good games than the Virtual Boy had, well, just games in general.

Yes but it's lacking greatly in 3rd party support and the first party releases are not fast enough to counter it.

Hard choice between the 32x and Virtua Boy. Both were comercial failures, both had a very small selection of games, and both were generally a ridiculously bad idea from the beginning.

It's insane to include the Vita & Xbox One, they're no where near the other two.

It is the worst platform for each member of the big three (and including sega).

Hypothetical situation:

In a land where PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming don't exist, the only 2 consoles available to buy are the Virtual Boy and Wii U, which would you rather choose?

Nice over-simplification for the dense.

I agree with every single one of those (though the PS Vita and Xbox One are both going to be fine all said and done. Certainly not even on the level of Virtual Boy and 32X).

Where's the PS4? The XBone has a way better AAA library than the PS4, period. Doesn't matter what you want to play TC.

The amount of people missing the very simple premise of this thread is truly staggering.

I agree with all of those except the Virtual Boy.

Nintendo's worst has to be one of the Game & Watch systems or a pong console.

@charizard1605: I know. I didn't think the wording was that confusing.
