10 worst consoles… ever

Blame base pessimism, or human nature. Maybe it’s the thought of camping outside Best Buy in hopes of trading a week’s pay for an always limited supply of systems. Then again, it could just be the fallout from these 10 high-profile disasters that tried to pass themselves off as cutting-edge, next-generation consoles and turned out to be little more than a taco-shaped cell phone (you know who you are, N-Gage).

I can’t disagree with any of the choices here. The Virtual Boy stands out in my mind as one of the worst I’ve ever seen. When a console gives you a headache within minutes, it has to be avoided.
