      @@MetalJesusRocks The Saturn and Dreamcast weren't that underrated in my opinion. They still sold millions of units but when compared with the massive success of the PS1 and PS2, it looks underrated. I think the Atari Jaguar and 3DO are truly underrated systems and deserve a spot on this list or at the very least an honorable mention. And if you're gonna rank the most underrated consoles, it should be just consoles not handhelds mixed in. You should make a separate video for the most underrated handhelds including the PSVITA, Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx, Nokia N-Gage, etc. Just a suggestion.

      @@MetalJesusRocks I think the Saturn would've done a lot better if it was backwards compatible with Genesis games. I seen that cartridge slot in the back of the Saturn and thought what a missed opportunity for Sega. That's another reason the Dreamcast failed because the PS2 was backwards compatible. Sony didn't burn their fans, that's the difference. They essentially made their games future proof that way so gamers could continue to play their old game collection on the new system. Maybe Sega had plans for it and scrapped it at the last minute to cut costs and because they were trying to get a head start on Sony. I don't know maybe somebody knows the backstory on that.

      It came in third place in North America since the Atari 7800 sold twice as many units as the SMS did. Sega of Japan recognized this and that's why they tried to get Atari Corp to market the Mega Drive [Genesis!] here in the States but Jack Tramiel demanded to also have the European rights but Sega declined and the deal fell through. Michael Katz, who had been running Atari's gaming biz for Tramiel and was a big champion of the Mega Drive deal, decided to retire from Atari Corp over the affair and then a month later became the head of Sega of America and successfully launched the Genesis here. The Genesis was the success here that the Master System never was [a lot of its failure was due to Tonka who had marketed it in the States].

      But just looking at the low sales for most of these would tell you they are underrated. They often gain cult followings but will never be talked about in the same vein as the PS2, Wii etc simply because very few people actually own these 5 in comparison

    • @GreyCartridge

      Matthew Champion sales have nothing to do with how something is under- or overrated. It’s an extremely subjective and relative term.
      For example, if only 2 people played game X and hyped the hell out of it, but you didn’t like it when you got to play it, you’d think it was overrated. Same thing would happen if it was 2, 200, or 2m people.

    The dreamcast was pretty much perfect but then the PS2 murdered it.

      I’ve always had a theory. Sega used to base their consoles around bringing the arcade home and by the time the Saturn came out the arcade was in decline and eventually faded out and so did sega around the same time... shame I really loved the sega consoles

I asked my dad for a MD. But he wanted a PS1. Eventually i got one and i loved it. But i kept hearing the stories about SEGA. And then came the dreamcast. It obliterated PS1 & N64 in everything. I just loved it when i tried it out. I then had enough money for one. My dad said "no Get PS2". my mom said "buy whatever you want". My dad got suckered into the PS2 hype, and so did i...
    I never forgave myself. I now have a Dreamcast, and its one of my favorite consoles. In some ways i think it even defeats PS2... I am sorry we let you down, Dreamcast.

      @@MetalJesusRocks And yet the CX53 5200 Trak-Ball Controller is one of the greatest accessory controllers of all tyyyyyyyyyyyyyme! It's a shame Warner forced Atari Inc to discontinue the 5200 - whose shortcomings were due to Warner's own decisions over Atari's engineers' wishes, like not including 2600 backwards compatibility from the start and releasing non self-centering analog joysticks - because the same engineer [Dan Kramer] who designed the Trak-Ball Controller was going to create a 5200 Driving Controller [based upon Atari's arcade Pole Position steering wheel/pedals/shifter] and then a 5200 Yoke Controller [based upon Atari's arcade Star Wars Yoke; Parker Bros would've released an updated version of "Star Wars - the Arcade Game" for the 5200 to take advantage of it]. But Warner listened to GCC - who had programmed a lot of the 5200's games and had designed the new MARIA graphics chip - who insisted that their next-gen console [which became the Atari 7800] would be more powerful than the 5200 and cheaper to build and thus Warner forced Atari Inc to discontinue the 5200. Warner CEO Steve Ross was getting pressured to do something drastic about Atari due to its bad press hurting Warner share price so he foolishly broke up Atari into pieces and sold it off which allowed Nintendo to take over the industry without much hostility [except from the retailers in the first year]. Atari Inc's Consumer Division's assets [gaming consoles and computers] went to Jack Tramiel's Trammel Technology LTD [which renamed itself "Atari Corp"], Atari Inc's arcade division became Atari Games [later launching the infamous "Tengen" sub-brand] and was sold off to Namco, and the AtariTel Division with its breakthrough video phones was sold off to Mitsubishi. The proto-Apple Stores known as the "Atari Adventure" stores didn't open, the Atari/Androbot partnership fell apart, the Atari/Lucasfilm partnership ended, the Amiga Corp's Amiga Lorraine chipset - which became the Amiga computer line - was stolen by Commodore and thus didn't end up becoming the Atari "Mickey" 16-bit console for Christmas 1985 nor the Atari 1850XLD computer, the Atari OMNI chipset and the AMY sound chip weren't completed, and the Atari 7800 got delayed from being released until early 1986 due to stalled negotiations between Atari Corp, Warner, and GCC over ownership, development costs, and royalties. [Jack Tramiel wanted to sell it for $59.99 at Christmas 1984 while GCC refused and demanded it sell for the original $149 price so they'd received their promised royalties]. And the rest is history...a bitter history at that...

Most of these titles are thankfully readily accessible via eshops and steam for a much, much more affordable price than the massive carts.

I had everything for that console, coloured pads - keyboard and mouse - microphones - steering wheel.. all the VMUs and vibration packs etc, the only thing I never got was the arcade stick set up... I had many games for the PS2 but I never ever had as much fun with it or in games as I ever did with the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast gave me my first experiences of online gaming too. Something some people forget started in consoles with the Dreamcast. Even my dad played battleships online with it, it was always fun playing against people of other languages and attempting to communicate with each other, and laughing playing the game.
    I was heartbroken with what happened to the Dreamcast and sega due to the hype of PS2 and the DVD issue, such a great console for its time and graphically could hold up to the PS2 (in my opinion).

      It was also one of the most powerful 8-bit consoles of the time. It was rocking a Motorola 6809 CPU... that sucker ate the 6502 and the Z80 and still asked for more...

      The Vita was great but it came out after mobile gaming blew up, was poorly marketed and the memory cards doomed it. It was far more impressive for its time in 2012 than Switch was in 2016. Imagine if GTA had come out on it.

    Best selling console of all time, PS2 due to the DVD playing factor.

      That was never really a factor because by the end of 2000 DVD players had dropped from over £500 to under £100 and in late 2001 around the time of the Xbox release you could pick up a dvd player for £50

      Whenever I say that a different console will never surpass the numbers of PS2, someone mentions the DVD player aspect. It's one of those catch 22s.

      @@xflarearcadia1766 the reason the PS2 sold so many units is because Sony had gain the public trust with the PlayStation with it's great games, backwards compatible so customers and parents didn't feel fucked over, adding value to budget conscious people.if you bought a PS2 back in 2000/2001 you knew you could get a stack of second hand PS1 games at a sale for dirt cheap to hold you over till there were second hand PS2 games on the market

    @MetalJesusRocks I don’t know where to inquire: one of my favorite Dreamcast games was samba de amigo, because I bought the controllers. It is super fun, and never fails to light up a party. Why have you hardly mentioned it or ever had a samba party episode? Surely Pink Gorilla has had a few of the official controllers. It stinks on the wii. Thanks, and I love your channel. This episode was quite fun :-).

    The Turbografx 16 was another underrated system. Its games were fun to play and had useful peripherals such as an TurboCD which let you play disk games and CDs. It was ahead of its time.

  • @SRPC21

    If you meant underrated in terms of sales, here’s my list (no particular order):
    1. Turbo Grafx 16
    2. Wii U
    3. Sega Master System
    4. Nintendo GameCube
    5. Dreamcast
    I personally thought the Saturn wasn’t very good; it was expensive, had a terrible frame rate with first person shooters (I.e. Doom, Hexen) and the 3D was done poorly compared with the PlayStation/N64 (due to it being very hard to develop for). The controller didn’t suit my big hands either. It 100% should’ve had backwards compatibility too.

    Just got a Wii U earlier this year and the gamepad may be my new favorite controller. I haven't used the Wii U Pro Controller yet, but I love the joystick placement on the gamepad with the Nintendo button arrangement. Also, being able to adjust inventory and view maps without pausing in the HD Zelda remakes was an absolute game changer. I wish they were able to do that with Breathe of the Wild, but if they did it would have been better than the Switch version.
