i would definitely put any Xbox system, game.com, atari 5200, phillips cd-i, 3do, and the atari jaguar to that list, and yeah, the sega systems other than the 32x are out of place on the list compared with all the crap that should be on there.

The original XBOX was a waste of money.
Anyone who did not see through the deception and bought that POS of a console was scammed.
The original Game Boy is in my list because:
a) It impaired my 20/20 vision. The lack of colors and any source of lighting was something that Nintendo should be ashamed of.
b) It uses 4 friggin AA batteries! 4 AA BATTERIES!! Ridiculous! Sure, you can purchase a rechargable battery pack. But for $30? Not to mention the hefty weight and the phone extension that made it look like it had a wang.

Funny, he mentions Pitt Fighter for Sega, but he forgets that the game was JUST as bad on the Super Nes. It was not sega that made Pitt Fighter bad, it was just a bad game no matter what system it was on lol.
Midway classics II on the PS2, XBox 360 ete had Pitt Fighter, did the game impove on these sysems?? Nope, the game was just as bad as it was in its hey day, if it had a hey day lol.

5. The X-Box 360. Why? Hardware issues. It's not that the console doesn't have a ton of great games for it. It does. What kills it is the constant plague of RRoD reports the console seems to STILL be having after the launch..what, two years ago? Mine has been plagued by Cooling System failures, and Disc Tray issues. I'm not dogging on its success because the PS3 has apparently sold more. At a time, the 360 was outselling PS3. No, I'm dogging it for the shitty way Microsoft put the console together. It's a great system if you can find one that'll last. My first system lasted two years, so it is possible.
4. CD-i. Marketed as an interactive player, it didn't really help that no one knew what the damned thing was. There was hardly any advertising at all save for infomercials that no one watched. The system was discontinued in '98 when more powerful and cheaper consoles were released. It sold only 570,000 units. Really. Who did you know that had a CD-i?
3. 3DO. It was bulky, it was pricey.. $700, and it failed. Most notably because of the mentioned price tag. No one wanted to pay 700 bucks for a complete 'audio and visual experience'.
2. Atari 5200. If there was ever a time that an unnecessary console hit the market..it was the 5200. Backwards compatibility was never apart of the console, though it was later rectified. It failed because there was too much focus on the 2600.
1. Virtual Boy. Why? Why? Why? The godfather of the Gameboy clearly had good intentions with the monochrome red device, but it failed. It gave you headaches, and the pseudo 3Dness of it wasn't really 3D in the first place. Besides, the headache the thing gave you was enough to throw the thing out the window.
No good games, charging for internet, crappy controllers, a huge rate of failure (an EU report in a class action lawsuit said that 60% of 360's suffered general hardware failure, the industry standard is 3-5%)

The real issue people have with the Xbox is the damn Red Ring of Death.
It's happened to me before. My first 360 I had to ship to a repair station and waited for 3 weeks. It came back, it was a replacement, I played for three months and the stupid thing suddenly got the Red Ring. I had to ship it again and it came back 3 weeks and a few days later. If this happens to me again, I'm swearing at the customer service when I call them.
I'm not saying I hate the 360, I just hate the errors it has.
You can't place "Charging for Internet" as a basis for why a system is bad. Anyone who uses that argument against the 360 is f'ing stupid. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. And there's no good games? Have you been living under a rock the past five years or so?
The PS3 is gay. Like you all said, no games I could really give a shit about but MGS4, and when it comes out, God of War 3, and I will force myself to buy a PS3 for that.
