hahahaa, oh man, i cant believe someone said NES, what a dumbfuck

I don't see why some of you say that SEGA screwed the marketing with dreamcast. the commercials were pretty damn good, remember those? I guess it was because sega fans were upset with Saturn previously for some reason.

the real bombs were...PRE-MODERN: SATURN, JAGUAR,3DO,CDI,32X, EARLY 90'S: TURBOGRAPHICS16 NEO GEO,ATARI LYNX, SEGACD. CLASSICS: MASTER SYSTEM, KALIKOVISION.

HANDHELDS: LYNX, NEO GEO POCKET

are u kidding? nintendo systems do not suck

They did muck up the marketting. It was by releasing ahead of the PS2 is why they mucked up. Everyone decided to wait for the "more powerful" PS2, at the time it was made out to be more powerful when infact it has around about same specs. Thats my guess anywhoo.

Dreamcast

One word. Dreamcast.

virtual boy sucked real bad..

Hey, Game Gear was quite cool. Yes, it was also quite expensive, but I enjoyed playing it anyway. I also loved SEGA Nomad (and I still have it !) :)

compared to an n-gage or tubografix?

people (including me) actually bought dreamcasts! who in their right mind would buy an n-gage???
and I don't know anyone waysoever who has a turbografix...

I must put my own words in here.

I'm only going to talk about consoles that I can remember. Even Nintendo was made three years before I was born. I still played NES anyway, but I've obviously never played any Atari so I can't say how successful or fun that was.

I saw one reply, don't remember who, said that NES was unsuccessful. Maybe it would be unsuccessful if you released it TODAY. But back then, those weren't "crappy graphics". They weren't the best, but they were good. The vast collection of games, hundreds? thousands?... anyway, it was one of the most successful consoles of its time.

Super Nintendo was a hit, but it seems to be caught between the more popular NES and N64.

The N64 was popular, and everone played it, we'll all remember that three-handle controller, but now looking back it doesn't look so successful. Everyone hates it, looking back and thinking "holy shit, cartridges?!?" and for a 64 bit graphic system, it was bad. The Playstation had better graphics in some cases.

The Playstation, by the way, and the playstation 2, are probably the most successful, seeing as how the whole PSX thing haven't been around very long.

Sega was great back in the day, but Sega Dreamcast didn't sell well. I really don't know why. It was a good console.

XBOX and GCN are new, I can't comment on that. But I think of the three competing consoles now, PS2 and XBOX are more successful than GCN, judging by the attitude of the world and especially this forum who thinks "Kiddy" when they see a cube. But Nintendo isn't dead yet.

Ok, that's all.

actually u dumbass, most things when they get real popular, they start making it cheaper, so more and more people buy, but thats not always true. like the dreamcast was selling for 40 bucks right before they stopped making them.

1.) Jaguar
2.) Dreamcast
3.) Sega Saturn

Those are the top 3 crappers.

SEGA CD!

The GCN is actually more successful than the XBOX.

And when you say the atiitude of the world, I think you forgot to include Japan. See, over there, it's all OMG KAWAII ^_^ kekekekeke, so GC is owning the XBOX is sales.

At one point, the wonderswan colour was outselling the XBOX in Japan. So you see, a huge video game market like that can really throw the sales through a loop compared to what the general attitude is here.

update

Ok, this is an update to my previose thread. So now, EVERYONE (even me) was wrong. the winner is the sega genesis, series 3. Thats wright. Just to whore the sega, they rereleased it FOUR TIMES, simply with new design. However, for series 3, they decided to make technicle changes, and failed. It became buggy as hell.

*right*

DreamCast, I got it and the sonic game which was supposedly the main game (like halo and x box) and it just didnt work. I returned the dreamcast and I still have the sonic game in a big cd case somewhere.

its only doing that because GC droped its price....(now thats a desperate console)...and i hear sony is also gonna drop its price...so whut up...all consoles are cheaper then they were right now.....

i meant *shut up*

Sega saturn, Sega Cd, Sega 32x, Atari Jaguar, pocket neogeo. And amazingling i think the gamegear was unsuccessful because it was too ahead of its time. Colour. 16 bit graphics, it whupped The Gameboys ass but it lacked something to people. *sigh*

Dreamcast was a very good console, it was on the same level as PS2 and X-box etc pretty much, Sega just made some really shit marketing decisions. That's why it failed.

It was about 2-3 years ahead of its time really.

I still have my Saturn in the closet somewhere... The only reason it wasn't successfull was because of bad marketing and because of Playstation and N64... Most unseccessfull system...
There was this one AAAAHHHH! What was it! The Develepors made too many games and run out of money...

The Phillips CD system takes the cake. It happened when Nintendo wanted to add a CD drive to the Super Nintendo with Sony. Nintendo backstabbed Sony and made it with Phillips. It sucked.

There is new "The most successful console thread" in BBs, so i decided to realive this also :)

n 64 was succesful.. but uhh n gage and sega staturna dn ced were bad...

Nintendo's Virtual Boy was probably the least successful console. Who here remembers the Virtual Boy? Nobody.

There was many people saying "Dreamcast", but there was also even more who denyed that

Well, the only one I knew the time I was addicted to games was most definately Dreamcast.

The N64 (I love them) was unsucessfuly compared to PS. N64 was originally going to be discs, but they never did.

Nintendo is less sucessful than most other companies, even though I like them more.

Dreamcast rules. I'm buying another one soon.

The biggest failure ever was the 3DO or the Jaguar.

Indeed, along with the 3DO and that crappy 32bit CD based thing Amiga tried to sell in the mid-90's.

The N-64 and Dreamcast were shining successes compared to those.

But the cake goes to the Nintendo Virtual Boy. Remember that? I bet Nintendo wish they didn't.

yup 3DO sucked and is know dead as hell. I played only one game on the 3DO and i think it was the worst game and console ever.
