Most Disappointing Video Game Consoles/Handhelds of All Time

The Top Ten
1 PlayStation Vita

With the ability to download UmJammer Lammy (as great of a game as that one admittedly is) and Parappa 1 onto it being one of its biggest selling points, I actually agree here

Could of been great, but nope just a glitch fest with glitch filled games and there weren't much games either

This handheld was a mistake.

2 Nintendo Switch

The fact that you're forced to pay for online services really infuriates me.

Handheld mode dies in 30 minutes

Why is this #1? Seriously...

3 Nintendo Wii U
4 Sega Saturn

The real reason this game system failed in the US was because Sega decided to release the system early in America,most stores were unprepared for this and were furious so much that most stores refused to sell them which really hurt Sega in the long run.

How was this disappointing?

5 Xbox One
6 Virtual Boy
7 NES Classic Edition

Great idea but the shortages of NES Classic Editions pretty much ruined everything.

8 PlayStation Classic
9 SNES Classic Edition
10 Nintendo Wii

The Wii is very limited when it comes to games, mostly due to the controller. It's a very fun console, but you in terms of games, it doesn't offer much.

The Contenders
11 Sega Nomad
12 Sega Genesis Flashback
13 Playstation 4

This is awful. This console had not one game that appealed to me. Mario is better in my opinion. As for the system itself, it hardly changed, it looks exactly the same, the graphics make no difference to the gameplay itself and the online services have a fee you have to pay Sony per month to use them. Unlike the Nintendo 3ds where they were completely free and the Switch being a yearly fee of $20. PlayStation 4 SUCKS. My friend regrets buying it.

Soyny censoring every piece of sexual content? - check!
Loud cooling fans? - Check!
No 4K blu-ray on pro? - Check!
Lack of backwards compatibility? - Check!
Overpriced remasters? - Check!
Controller that dies in 3 hours? - Check!

In Comparison...
Xbox One doesn’t have much censorship.
It’s silent.
It has 4K Blu-ray on both S and X
It has backwards compatibility.
Remasters are actually worth their price.
Controller dies in 20 hours.

Which one is better huh?

Not this - Xbox one is way worse

14 Atari Jaguar
15 Hyperkin SupaBoy
16 Nintendo 64

How the hell is this console disappointing when it literally gave us great games like Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Mario Party?

17 Playstation 3

I love this console. It had so many great games on it and you didn't have to pay to play online. It's only flaw, at least for me personally was the controller.

Started weak, ended strong

Worst console of Gen 7.

18 Nintendo GameCube
19 Apple Bandai Pippin
20 Xbox Original
21 Atari 5200

Blame this, and the games on it, for the video game crash of 1983.

22 Atari 2600
23 Sega Game Gear
24 Xbox 360
25 PlayStation Portable
