I didn't say anything else.
MasterChief02571 Is there something wrong with that? His opinion?
Pretty much true. If it weren't for Nintendo, there might not have been a PlayStation because of the completion in demand.

MohawkDoesMC I actually LIKE the Wii U
how. just how
I heard they found ET in a desert about a week ago. After 30 years horror comes back...
I'm sure Nintendo will turn the Wii U around. They've even already started. Sales for the Wii U have increased 180% since last year, Super Mario 3D World has sold 2 Million copies already, and Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, and more are on their way.
They did 😁
And that is why kids that Mario is the savior of video games.
Atari: [playing Donkey Kong on Coleco]
Nintendo: [walks into the room with tray of lemonade] Hey, what'cha doin'?
Atari: ...Nothing..
Nintendo: [looks at screen]
Nintendo: [drops tray] YOU BROKE THE RULES! EVERYONE'S GONNA BE MAD YOU BROKE THE RULES!!!!!
I think it was the other way around
You got that backwards, dude
Wanna know what's the worst video game fail? Nintendo selling Rare to Microsoft.Enough said
***** Yeah I wish Rare continued to make Conker's Other Bad Fur Day though I would've gotten it
***** I had Conker Live and Reloaded for the Xbox and I have to admit the multi-player was awful and honestly the gam was awesome
I thought Microsoft bought Rare, I don't think Nintendo was able to do anything about it.
Humble Ham I don't know
***** Bad Fur Day had multiplayer?
ProJared and Zero Punctuation? One of my fav Watch Mojo videos yet XD
I would like to see 3DO's marketing campaign as one of the top video game fails, as they marketed their console as the "ultimate gaming experience", and as we know, almost all the games for the system were crap. And all that for a pricetag of 700 USD...
I'd agree, but I think the fail was more around their business model. The pricetag was because there were no license or SDK fees for developers, so 3DO couldn't subsidize the system. Kinda like smartphones costing $600 unless you're on a contract. While a huge developer incentive, no gamers (retail price) meant no developers, meant rushed in-house titles. The ironic part is that founder Trip Hawkins is a Harvard grad who majored in Business Strategy.
The very concept of DLC is just stupid to me, and is just a way for game companies to be greedy
Freddie Thompson I don't think so. Expanding a game you have and love can be great when you are losing interest in it due to repeating the same maps over and over. Side stories or prequels are better served as DLC than full games. The problem, as always, is that greedy companies grab a cool concept and abuse it. It happened to micro transactions, to DLC, to online multi-player, to franchises in general...
Anyone else recognize Lori Laughlin in the commercial in #9?
Balloon Sage I literally came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed lol
When Naughty Dog stopped making the Crash Bandicoot series, that still brings a tear to my eye..
Me too
And the rights were given to toys for Bob which was a good thing along with spyro
Why did Naughty Dog stop making Crash Bandicoot games? Was something going wrong?
"But whether or not it can do the same for it's big brother remains to be seen."
Super Smash Bros 4.
Mario Kart 8.
That is all that needs to be said about this quote.
Two reasons why I'm buying it lol
Remains to be seen......
Yea same thing said to the 3ds.
But by the time mario kart and mario 3d land came out sales were booming for nintendo.
Oh don't forget to mention the price drop for the 3ds.
Baires Moreno
Agreed

"I KEEP TRYING TO LOG ON AND ITS SAYING 'ERROR 37'" Boogie is a prophet sent from a higher society than on earth. He speaks only the truth
This ranks among your best lists!!
Where's the virtual boy?
Exactly.
They mentioned the virtual boy on the top ten worst consoles list
its not really something they would put on this list, that's a console. It was a fail but it failed as a console. not its own way like the crash of 1983. thanks Atari.
Cyrus Crompton Atari is still the most epic vintage video game system there is
ShortyMoneyTV I have to disagree, its graphics lower the possibilities... don't get me wrong, I don't care about how many bits there are but it just lowers the actual possibilities it could do
The xbone is still a glorified cable box though.
Yea yea... But atleast now it functions as a video game console as well. So that's something i guess?
andvas1994 Doesn't really matter, neither of the "next-gen" consoles have any good games right now anyways
PurpleIsALetter Wait until Halo comes out. And they have 2 good games right now. Titanfall and Infamous.
PurpleIsALetter EDIT: Woops... I'm in several debates on this video. Wrong reply. HAHA.xD Sorry.
Deadshot Studios There are no Halo games coming out in the future. The only thing on its way is Call of Crysisfield 8 but I sure as hell am not buying an entire console to play that garbage, especially after Call of Crysisfield 7: Master Chief Goes to Cybertron was a complete trainwreck and espcecially since that "console" is a glorified cable box. Plus I can get Titanfall on PC so that's not a selling point for me
Is it bad that. I slightly fanboyed when Boogie came on?
Nope. When I saw 'em, too, I was smiling from ear to ear.
7:32 calm Down Francis
***** so true
Lol
Which boneheaded moment made me face palm?
Sega: Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
sonic 06 is avarage rushed mess not that bad as people say it is tho
Microsoft in the year 2013. One of the biggest fails in history
It's too early to tell if the Wii U's gonna be a full-fledged commercial failure. It might end up being a moderate success like the GameCube.
hopefully, but it's hard since the console has been in the market since november 2012, and has sold like 4 million units, and the ps4 has been out like 4-5 months and has sold like 7 million units
It won't succeed, it has the Vita syndrome; the damn thing is just too expensive and has too little consumer interest.
Brandon Frazier It won't be expensive for long. Same with the Vita. They'll eventually become affordable.
Allie-RX
Both have been out for over a year now, if they haven't had a market made for them yet, there will never be a market for them made. Both are widely considered a commercial failure and sinking any more money into the dying portable consoles would be asinine. Both companies are moving on to bigger and better things; trust me.
It's just not very friendly with third party developers. but who knows maybe they'll get some really great games and it'll go gamecube on us.
They've found the dug up E.T games…it's just been announced
My uncle had the Atari system shown at 8:55. When my sister & I were younger, we used to go to his house & play with it all the time. We also used to have the NES & played with that all the time. I even got the Game Genie & couple of games that were in the book so I can play them better. I liked playing with the NES, it was fun. :)
In Nintendo we trust.
I was bought a PS Vita for my birthday, and I really enjoy playing it. BUT with its lacklustre library (even if the current titles on the market are great) and the high memory card price tag, it's no wonder it's failing.
It seems like Sony are starting to give up on it as well. Rather than treating it like a console in its own right, it feels like they're trying to flog it as an overpriced peripheral for the PS4.
At least Nintendo are still trying with the Wii U. ...sort of
What about the 3DS?
Yeah, I love my 3DS. Nothing lackluster about its library.
TheAustnod brilliant console, despite not using the 3D. At least it's properly backwards compatible to the normal DS
The ps vita is awesome i have one on my table right now i play every day,
I don't get why everyone hates it.
One fail that should have been included is the over-reliance on DLC.
2:03 Hold up- is That Lori Laughlin (Aunt Becky) from Full House?
+Rick Dunnigan it is!
XDragonFireX 97 I mean, it's too generic for me, but when I was a kid I kind of liked it.
XDragonFireX 97 LOL
I said the thing
I think the Vita's first year was shocking, but from August it really picked up and delivered some quality titles.
I got a Japanese model PS Vita on September 29, 2023, plus Madden NFL 2013 for it on October 6, 2023, plus TH-cam

Always on DRM is a nightmare's nightmare for any gamer.
There are a few boneheaded business decisions that made me facepalm:
1) Microsoft buying Rare and it's franchises from Nintendo
2) Activision buying the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro franchises, not only that, Universal Interactive forced Sony, Naughty Dog and Insomniac to give up the Crash and Spyro franchises if they didn't want to, which sucks and in the end, is all Universal Interactive's fault
sierra wasn't that bad and sony never had the license of crash or spyro but universal
mywlan2 I'm sorry but to my opinion, Sierra have killed these two franchises when they released Crash of the Titans, Mind over Mutant and The Legend of Spyro series, THESE GAMES SUCK, I did not like them. I'm also just stating that it is 100% very unnecessary for a video game company and/or franchise(s) to be bought out by another company and the franchises have not been the same, and what's worse about Spyro, Activision has been making Skylanders which I've never payed attention to. -_-
mywlan2 P.S. If you find Crash of the Titans, Mind over Mutant and The Legend of Spyro trilogy good games, don't worry, I won't be immature with your opinion by being a fool, judge, and start any unreasonable flame wars.
SuperSonicKazooie did u really have to write 4 long comments to responce 1 comment? also skylanders is just made to milk money with nothing creative or great about those other than the really expensive gimmick.
So Atari rejected Nintendo, which led to Nintendo making their own system, who then rejected Sony which led to the PlayStation...
FLYNT COAL!!
Actually, I liked the Vita. Mainly because most of their games are ports from PS3, and I don't have that console. And it does have some great games...But a really small number. Like Persona 4 Golden. Best fucking RPG I've played far.
I am an Xbox gamer, still I think one of the worst videogame Fails is the stupid "Xbox Gold Membership".
I yeah I like xbox better than playstation, but that is so stupid how u have to pay for xbox live
Evan Sulich It's really expensive and yet, they make you pay to play the other half of the game and to unlock most of the Xbox functions, I hate it.
*****
It's bullshit. Period.
nah,ps has a ps gold or ps+ i can't remember,but it has one of those expensive upgrades too
at least they are giving you free games like ps+
damn good thing i wasnt born at the 80's because 1983
"Top 10 console fails" would have been a more appropriate name.
Over-saturation seems to be coming back.
1:13-1:19- That was the song "Jesters of the moon" playing in the background from FF9!
We all make mistakes, XONE Greed, Sony imbalanced colsoles, Nintendo launches, everyone makes mistakes they're all still pulling through
TheGrandRevo True. But one would hope someone at one of these big name companies would have the foresight to say: "Hey, maybe we should double check our numbers before doing this?"
Leo Ryff they should, but they can't be bothered.XD
TheGrandRevo Except Coleco. They died.
TheGrandRevo Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has those days, everyone knows what what i'm talkin bout everybody gets that way.
No matter how much hate the WiiU and Vita get, I really love those systems and I'm glad that I don't follow what everyone else likes. I determine what I like best.. not some cheap fanboy on the internet. Both LEGO City Undercover on WiiU and Tearaway on the Vita are fantastic games
I have a Ps4 and a WiiU and I enjoy both at the same level! now the fuckin´madness will be Mario Kart 8!
Van Hellion
Yeah! I can't wait either. I wanted to get the PS4 as well, since I want to try new things, but since I heard it can't play PS3 games I think i'll go with the PS3
I have a wiiu and already waiting for that mario kart to come home. If I could I would own all 3 consoles and portables but, that's out of my budget>
Van Hellion only mario kart? Wait for smash bros will be a torture, it looks soo damn good! I love my wiiu, and until batman arkham knight arrives, there is not even one game that make me want an xbox or ps4. The question is still open. I have a 360 but i don't know if i have to buy a ps4 or xbox one
mario kart the next month
Well, at least the Wii U is redeeming itself with Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros. Bayonetta 2, X and many, many more!! :D
Still mad about the Vita. I bought one, and only played two games! LittleBigPlanet and Teraway. Doesn't justifies the Memory Cards and Price Tag. Maybe it will redeem itself too! :D
If you live in Asia, you would hv a lot of games to play on the vita
Paul Titus Really? Darn it! -.-
Any chance of them coming to the US?
#3 was fascinating as hell.
WOW! To hear Lori Louglin ask “Is that legal?” has aged just perfectly.
And Microsoft would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!
1 word, Origin
Have you ever heard about Uplay?
***** Origin makes Uplay look like a masterpiece
1 word, Steam
DownBefore Yeah... No.
Nothing in the world can beat Uplay's amazing skills at being completely awful.
If Uplay would be the only digital destribution for PC, I would instantly get a console because it's so fucking awful
ThorntimexD steam really?
You used ProJareds video on this video. Subbed
I have a PSV and I have to say it's *REALLY* underrated.. I have had a PS2. PS3, PSP, PSV and the PSV has to be my favorite tied with PS3. It's so awesome and you can buy simple games like FIFA, Minecraft, Assassins Creed, and much more, and apps including TH-cam, Skype, Twitter etc. And all on the go! It's absolutely perfect for travel. My PS Vita is my baby :D
lol ProJared's Sim City footage
The PS Vita has a pretty good library of games and is fun. The focus of it may be a bit off, but remote play with the PS4 is a great idea, it honestly doesn't deserve to be on the list.
i wanna see a Top 10 Capcom fails. this should be good :]
7:26 ERROR SHIRTY SEVEN! I GOT ERROR SHIRTY SEVEN!
oohhh! my ggode error shirty seven omfg, every time!
As a paying customer, DRM, serial numbers (remember the one where you had to find a certain word on a certain page in the games manual?), requiring a disc be inserted in order to play, mandatory internet connections and subscriptions to play a game online are huge aggravations. I understand that these companies are out to make a profit, but when playing a game that was paid for in full becomes a pain in the ass, they're doing something wrong.
No. They are trying to protect their product. Seriously, you can't tell me that you would pay full price for a game to "help out the mutli billion dollar company" instead of buying a pirated version for less than a quarter of the cost. DRM is a good thing and ALL games should have it.
MrBarlion I've paid for all my games and software in the last 10 years at least. I don't have a problem paying, but when you are inconvenienced with reinstalls, PC upgrades requiring software reactivation, problems when you're offline or when a family member wants to play a game while you're already logged into Steam, it's a hassle.
Even just having to pay for tech support on Windows makes pirate versions more desirable because the tech support comes free through forums.
If you've ever used Corel or Adobe software, then you'll already know that their DRM agents running on your PC is like malware - causing anything from computer crashes to excessive memory usage.
InvisiMan2006 I agree. DRM in general is fine, when it doesn't inconvenience legitimate consumers. A physical disc in the tray should be enough for console gaming. Requiring an internet connection, jumping through hoops to authorize a new device, downloading required patches, and entering long serial numbers is ridiculous. There will always be pirates and hackers, no matter how much DRM you pile on. And Adobe is a great example; for them I'm sure DRM actually creates NEW pirates who just want an easy drag-drop, set-and-forget install on their machine (aside from their monopoly and inflated prices). Look at Apple with iTunes; no DRM on their music store yet people are still paying 99 cents for their music (despite the ability to grab pirated music from anywhere), because they believe it's fair and want to contribute to a consumer-friendly model. Steve Jobs was right in predicting that people would pay for music and support artists even without DRM. I like knowing that in 10-20 years my purchased music will still play on the device of my choice.
Sacrificing good gameplay for micro-transactions are destroying video games.
THIS!
I once played ET and i can tell you that game literally tries to deafen you if you're unlucky enough to be wearing headphones (and thats before you even start the game). As for the game itself, i never had any idea what i was doing other than running around falling down holes and magically floating back out of them.
"It wasn't until Nintendo came into the market in 1985 to revive the industry singlehandedly that things improved."
More specifically, a certain green-clad elf-like hero that revived the industry.
And no, I'm not making that up. Yes, Super Mario Bros. was a hit and sparked interest in video games again, but it wasn't until The Legend of Zelda was released that video game sales broke through the roof and signified a new chapter in video game history.
The Vita is a great system. Its a failure in terms of how many people have bought it, but it has a strong attach rate and is a quite profitable system to develop for. Well, at least developers that make games for it say that.
I have one, but it doesn't have many good games, and has some expensive things. At least Sony made a 2nd one, and most games are cheaper than 3DS games
FunGi Games Wrong. You either don't know where to look or are actively ignoring a lot of its library.
FunGi Games
Persona 4 Golden
Fez
Spelunky
LBP Vita
Guacamelee
Tearaway
TxK
Gravity Rush
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
...to name a few. ;)
In all fairness, it seems to have only really boomed in games terms really recently though, and that seems to have come too late... I don't even have a Vita :L
I get that the VITA kinda flopped, but in all fairness It's an incredibly powerful handheld system. I love it! And I ended up selling my 3DS cause I just couldn't go back to it.
The Xbox One was also a flop at first, but it is a wonderful console that nobody seems to admit.
***** It will pick up. The VITA has gained a lot of momentum over the last year as well. Every system generally has a slow start.
Zeromus5555 Specially Nintendo systems, most of them flop at one point.
Yeah I love my vita too and they great thing about the vita as well is that vita owners buy a HUGE amount of software so hopefully it will pick up sales
PS Vita is a extremely capable and under-rated system. Nintendo keeps the true tradition of gaming alive and the PS Vita / PSP shows where gaming is currently at - nice alternative :)
Fuckin' love the use of Yahtzee Croshaw/Zero Punctuation in there. His videos are hilarious.
Still so American-centric. The video game crash of 1983 did NOT almost destroy video gaming "as a whole". The industry was alive and well outside of North America. Especially in Japan where Nintendo was flourishing.
Where is Virtual Boy?
Listen to the start of the video before the list starts.
TheDuckClock I guess they included it in one of their other videos, still they could have at least had a picture of it or something in this video because when I think of video game fails Virtual Boy is one of the first things that comes to my mind.
In australia if you don't live in a major city you don't get great stable internet connection. And by living in a major city I mean living in the proper part of the city, not the suburbs
i extremely loved my vita carry it around wherever i go. but yeah i understand why its on the list
because of its price?
Rodri Carp that and lack of marketing
ohh
I just noticed that the actress in the commercial for the Coleco Adam is Lori Loughlin (aka Aunt Becky on Full House).
Ps vita is awesome if you have ps plus.
I don't have PS Plus and I still love the Vita. My only problem is lack of money for new games.
If you can gets plus it's 50 for a year or 10 for a month and you get tons of free games every month.
Yep, I bought one when I got my PS4 and PS+ a few months ago and I still haven't bought a single game for the Vita.
The memory cards are way too expensive though.
For Christmas my parents decided to get the family a Wii U. They said they did their research and to be honest, the did well.
Since my brother is practically insane we can't at any gun related games. There aren't many gun games for the Wii U so that's a plus. Other awesome games have come out like Smash Brothers, Bayonetta 2 and many more. Also Pvz garden warfare is coming soon so my brother is super happy.
Now my folks knew not to get an Xbox one. They are too expensive and we heard bad reviews about it so it was out of the picture. None of my friends have one anyway so I couldn't play with them. The playstation 4 on the other hand wasn't as bad but we couldn't play many of the games anyway.
If you can't get any gun games the wii u is the only console you can get, 99% of the ps4s and xbox ones library are shooters. But the wii u is great so don't worry,
clay jack that's something unique about Nintendo. Hey PS3 had COD: advanced warfare. Oh whats that its on the xbox 1? original.
If your brothers insane I don't think he should be playing Bayonetta
He won't. He's too busy playing Mariocart 8 and Smash Bros. The only two games we have
clay jack don't you mean 60%? I've seen games like LittleBigPlanet, Forza and other ones I could list
For some reason 4:53 - 5:04 always makes me laugh.

Ah yes, I had a lot of fun captioning that.
I want to buy a PS Vita for a couple of reasons:
-PSP games can be downloaded there.
-I'm a weebo. The PS Vita has some good anime related titles like Danganronpa, Persona 4 Golden among some others.
-Tearaway. I've been interested in that since it's released.
-I'm a weebo.
Maybe if you type weebo enough you'll turn Japanese.
No Pants No Pizza Nah, I'm good.
Potato Don't you think it's worth a try? Weebo weebo weebo, hmm don't feel anything... let's try some more. Weebo... W-E-E-B-O, weeeeebooo. Huh nothing. You try.
No Pants No Pizza Nah, I'm good.
Potato Hey, at least you're not a Brony. On the scale of stupid fans you're like a 3, Bronies are at least a 9.9
The Xbox One should be in first place.I already have a VHS.
This comment should have been #1 for amount of stupidity. I can tell you have 0 knowledge of the actual console seeing that you commented such a stupid thing
Hahaha god damn bro XD Nice one
cyborgagent6 I can tell you have zero knowledge of actual grammar, since you cannot form a correct sentence.
In all seriousness though why do you care if he thinks that? Why get so defensive over a console, and to be fair it does look like a VHS.
Sorry,I do my best.English is not my first lenguage.Thanks for paying so much interest on me.
uchihadante77 I wasn't talking to you dude.
You put boogie2988's Francis in there...
Hihi..
I was in my programming class in high school when they streamed the pre-launch of the xbone. My teacher put on the projector and let us watch it during class
im in college for video game design and graphic design, and i remember learning a bit about the crash of 84.
Nintendo: The savior of modern video gaming.
And then the Wii came
hardy4ever98 The Wii has out-sold both the Xbox 360 and PS3, making it the best-selling seventh-generation console.
codster9 And now The wii U (despite it's fails here and there) Is the only console of this generation to support backwards compatibility.
codster9 The reason why it has more sales is because it got a head start. ._.
Virtual boy should have been on the list
already on the Nintendo fail I think
PS VITA: "THE FIRST PRODUCT THAT BLURRES THOSE LINES." Robin Thicke comes in and starts singing
That Yahtzee quote just made my day. Hats off, Watchmojo.
Xbox one creators: Buy the Xbox one! Its amazing! Sports and TV!
Me: sorry, I already have a basket ball and others and a DVR at my house.
Lol. But now since a new lead is leading the team he's like "WE DON'T HAVE SPORTS AND TV! We now have game s*** BIATCH!" The future is bright for Xbox... :)
And that light is dimming for me.

Kids at school can discard you about not having systems but bye watching this video i feel smarter and laughing at most. XD
When the day comes when I need to stay online 24/7 to play a game,I'll give up my passion for video games.
BOOGIE!! 7:29 :)
BOOGIE!!!!
XD XD XD You put Francis on there!!!
About Neo Geo's high cost, the creators of Neo Geo had planned to have it be a rental only system and one to be used in bars and hotels. Because the system was so great though, enough people demanded it be available to sold to the general market despite warnings of how much both it and its games would cost due to how hard they all were to make with the available tech back then.
It got put on the public market though and some people were willing to pay the cash for it. It wasn't a blunder at all as Neo Geo's creators only made it available for purchase but it's what the consumers wanted.
While the crash was awful... I really do feel DRM should be pushed to #1 considering it's leading us to another crash...
I think it should lead to a crash, but I am afraid it won't
Josh_Video Well for starters people who know nothing about games or gamers are in charge of making games (see: Activision, EA, etc) so they make things that profit the companies and not the players as seen with Simcity, Skyrim, and Diablo III (Yes Skyrim, it crashes non-stop and feels incomplete; you shouldn't sell a game on the basis "well if our players mod it...")
Second the budgets have gotten insane so if you're making a console game, it had better be a CoD clone because trying anything innovative is risky and people don't want to throw away millions. Luckily the PC has a decent indie crowd so hopefully the PC will stay afloat and only consoles will crash.
Third is the issue with bribery in the review system. Ever notice how no matter how bad a game is, if it's made by a AAA company it gets a 9/10? That should imply the game is near perfect. And if a game gets a 10/10 that means it IS perfect... and if that's the case, why would the companies need to patch it or add DLC? Meanwhile great games by smaller companies get crap reviews. I refer you to IGN if you need any proof of this, just look up "Godhand vs Imagine Babyz"
Fourth companies are pushing away talent for trying anything different, yet another reason the indie crowd on PC is doing amazingly while consoles sit and stagnate.
Finally we don't know what we're buying anymore. With the lack of demos or gameplay in trailers existing and the review system being owned by the companies, we're pretty much being told everything is a "9/10 must buy" and have to take their word for it. Not to mention when we do see 'gameplay' in a trailer it's usually a bait and switch. For a recent example, look at Aliens: Colonial Marines. Really hyped, bought heavily, SUCKED HORRIBLY.
In short, we're one objectively crappy CoD release away from the console market dying. I may hate CoD myself, but when I saw "objectively crappy" I mean it needs to be literally broken to the point where people can't even play it.
0:36 Notice how Steam doesn't have a fails video. Let's just all take this in for a minute...... and release.
Most likely because Steam doesn't take any risks it markets 3rd party products and has great sales.
