Xbox One didn't fail. Neither did OG Xbox. Troll harder.

I remember the Virtual Boy lasting maybe 6-8 months on the market. I bought one brand new on its way out for $25 from EB Games. It had maybe 15-20 games world wide.

It's clearly the winner of biggest fail.

@speedfreak48t5p:

OG Xbox sold less than 25 Million units.

Xbox one haven't moved 30 million units yet.

Out of those the VB. But it should be up against the Jaguar, the commodore CD32, the Apple Pippin and the PS Vita.

@boycie: I should've put the Vita :( I forgot about it.

The others are too unknown to be worth it.

The ones who voted for the Wii U did not know about video game history.

Definitely the virtual boy. :P

Of course, there are systems that failed worse than the ones here but the one that sucks the most from this list is the VB. I'm pretty sure it only has, like two worthwhile games on it... but sadly even those games will reportedly make your eyes bleed from using the system.

If there is any consolation, I've heard the virtual boy controller is pretty neat.

Obviously the Virtual Boy. I would also say that the Jaguar is an excellent contender for the title as well.

Between those, the facts say Virtual Boy. I think there's consoles that did even worse though.

Why list ones that did good, though? What's your point?

Try harder next time, lot of consoles missing on that list.....the Xbox One is slowly becoming one my favorite consoles of all time , not even close to being a failure.

As well, not that I care that much but I remember recently reading several article stating they are at 39M now(estimate I believe).

Nintendo Wii

I still hate that joke of a console and its stupid waggle controls.

It added NOTHING. Instead of pressing a button you had to do a stupid waggle.

@R4gn4r0k: Exactly. That’s the way it should be forever and trying anything new or different is just a pointless waste of time.

Thing is: games change all the time, they try new stuff all the time.

Nintendo, Sony and MS doing motion controls wasn't a great place for gaming

Just like every company going after mobile gaming wasn't a great place for gaming

Just like every company going after VR fad wasn't a great place for gaming

You think I hate change ? You couldn't be more wrong.

Those aren't even close... Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Pippen, Sega Saturn/Dreamcast, Neo Geo, and Ouya are far bigger than any on the OP's list.

The Virtual Boy is the biggest failure... but the Dreamcast was the one who damaged the manufacturer more.

No Jaguar, No Philips CDi, and no GameCube.

Funny Nintendo has some of the worst selling consoles ever.

@recloud:

putting the Xbox OG & Xbox One in the same poll as the virtual is an obvious and poor attempt at trolling.

Both Consoles have sold over 20 million, not greatest sellers but far from failure.

The poll should have included the likes of the Atari Jaguar, The Hyperscan, 3DO, Philips CD-i. Even the Saturn & Dreamcast should be in that poll ahead of the Xbox Consoles.

The 32X and Jaguar both come to mind. The Xbox One is not a failure. It may not have sold what MS hoped it would, but it is not a failure like many other consoles from the past.

Not counting some weird old console, WiiU felt like a big mistake. Switch is kinda the same.

The biggest fail is easily the Sony PlayStation 1 because of the most infamous turd of all time, Final Fantasy 7.

The Virtual Boy may have been the greatest failure, but the truth is I would sooner purchase a Virtual Boy than an Xbox One.

Virtual boy from the list but the 3DO overall had potential but way too expensive to compete.
