Is this the worst console ever?
>>
One of the worst for sure, games already suffer from disc rot
>>
>>740268795
>console kills itself if you leave it alone for too long
>but only the expensive version
Its like a cruel joke how nothing with the WiiU really went right
>>
The Ouya? The Stadia? Do you niggas have the memory of a goldfish?

I like mine
>>
>>740269053
is this why they are so expensive? they cost as much as a switch
>>
>2 screens just like DS! DS is a big hit so surely this will be too!
...Not taking into account the fact that on DS the screens are right next to each other whereas with Wii U you have to move your neck back and forth to see both screens
>>
it sucks but the ps5 is worse
>>
>>740269210
The console units are dirt cheap, it's the gamepad that's expensive. The console is pretty much a brick without it you cannot enter settings or setup the console or even jailbreak it without it.
>>
It's funny how the Switch was basically, "hey, what if we do this idea... but not retarded?"
>>
>>740269210
Could be the reason, the Deluxe versions have a bad rom chip or something and that's the version that got bundled with Mario Kart 8 which sold a lot

another reason could be the fucking gamepad, if it breaks you have an expensive paperweight because the system won't turn on without one.
>>
>>740269280
The gamepad charger is also very fragile, they wanted it to fail

No, and it's not even close.
Imagine buying a console and being unable to play the pack in game, because the game require a non-existing keyboard to start.
>>
>>740269094
Stadia wasn't a console. Ouya arguably wasn't either, because it was just an android device. The actual answer for the worst console ever is the Nuon.
>>
>>740269495
Nuon had one (1) good game. (tempest 3000)
>>
>>740269359
Yeah kids chewed the fuck out of the cable and controller.

It has smash bros and mario kart. By default, it's better than a lot of the old consoles nobody gives a shit about now, like the Intellivision or the Atari Jaguar.
>>
Even if it is I'm about to get someone to pay $200 for it over 10 years later.
>>
>>740268795
Na, comfiest console I ever owned
>>
>>740268795
Shit like the Jaguar and the 3DO exists.

Ouya and Stadia are bad but they're not really consoles. I would say the PS5 and Series X are pretty bad, I mean when it comes to actual games. We gotta think less of financial failures like 3DO or Atari Jaguar, but over all on the lack of software because we play games and not sales. So by that metric maybe the PS5 is by far the worst console of all time.

The problem are units with a Hynix NAND, supposedly just a batch made in 2012-2013. Not sure what the distribution is on those. My Wii U is from launch and it has a Toshiba chip.
>>
PS3, Wii U and N64 all suck.
>>
>>740268795
Sega Saturn
>>
>>740268795
unlike ps5 it at least has games
>>
>>740271873
OP didn't specified anything about "worst successful console" or anything of sorts.
And by this parameters, garbage like C64 GS, Action MAX, game.com etc all count
>>
>>740272308
At least the PS3 had both PS2 and PS1 libraries (the original fat), Wii U had VC, N64 had 3 games
>>
>>740268795
The Xbone exists.
>>
>>740268795
I personally think wii was worse, but ps5 and series x are pretty shit. Both selling point is theyre backwards compatible forgetting to make anything new
>>
>>740268795
the modding community makes me want one

>>740269731
they're worth like $50 unless you got the windwaker edition
>>
>>740268795
Strictly speaking nintendo wise, if you're a shareholder scum of the earth, it's 2nd only to the virtual boy
Otherwise, it was the last nintendo system that felt like it was made for gaming and fun, not consoomers and investors
I believe objectively, as long as there was at least one non-related (just random schmuck) consumer who genuinely enjoyed it, there is no "worst" system
I miss when gaming was about having fun and not about proving how knowledgeable a NEET you are, or about shit being about being a good consoomer vs being "poor" (regardless if they object to something philosophically or because they're actually poor)
>>
>>740268795
no, the worst one was the Xbox One, single handedly killed the whole brand and has never recovered since. Nintendo was able to bounce back from the Wii U and the Virtual Boy before it.
>>
>>740268795
Yeah probably. Nintendo made a fortune solely through the wiimote. Giving up on that is ridiculously stupid.
