      My entire family owned Stadia and we loved it. The console itself didn't suck, Google just made the most bonehead moves regarding its marketing because of how clueless they are about video gaming markets. The fact that it's the thumbnail is a downright insult and I'm more than a little upset about it.

    You guys forgot the funniest part about the Philips CD-I. See, before it came into existence, Nintendo had initially planned on creating a new console in partnership with Sony but at the last backed out and practically ghosted them for Philips instead, with Sony only finding out the same time the Philips CD-I was announced. Sony's response was to make their own gaming console. Therefore,. not only did the Philips CD-I cost a billion dollars and fail miserably, but Nintendo ended up gaining a brand new rival after the fall of Sega.

      Technically, the partnership between Nintendo and Sony was to create a CD based add on for the SNES to compete with Sega CD. As mentioned, Nintendo backed out which led to Sony creating their PlayStation. Nintendo's next console was the N64 which stuck with cartridge based games while its competitors systems (Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn) were disc based. That decision cost Nintendo some third party support like Squaresoft (Now Square Enix) who took their Nintendo exclusive Final Fantasy series to Sony.).

    • @KritoSkywaker

      The funniest part is, that while they made the Playstation, they turned to Sega with the idea of a partnership. Sony of America and Japan and Sega of America loved the opportunity. But Sega of Japan turned it down, stating, that Sony doesn't even know how to make software or hardware.

      The Wii U was an amazing console that was poorly marketed. Casual customers thought it was another cheap plastic Wii accessory instead of a full-fledged successor. And 3rd party devs were done making games accommodating for innovative hardware. Even most 1st party titles (not counting remakes) were disappointing.
      Super Mario 64 and its ilk are what I live for, and Super Mario 3D World (still a solid Mario game) didn't cut it. Lego City Undercover was the closest thing to SM64 I saw grace the system, but I gave it a hard pass due to Lego games at the time being nothing more than the same linear platformer wearing different masks of IPs, assuming Lego City to be no different.
      Props to Wii U being Splatoon's birth-console, though I've never been keen with the GLUT of FPS games, nor was online play my priority back then.

    Great list so far, but I would like to add some honorable mentions:
    NEC PC-FX:
    Released by NEC as a successor to the PC-Engine in Japan, the system had outdated specs compared to the Saturn and PlayStation and was incapable of producing 3D graphics. The console was also infamous for having a game library dominated by Japanese text adventures and adult-oriented dating sim titles because of NEC's decision to liberalize its software licensing policies in a desperate attempt to get more games onto the system and increase its sales.
    Emerson Arcadia 2001:
    This console was released in 1982 months before the more capable Colecovision hit the scene. The system copied elements from the Atari 2600 and Intellivision while offering nothing to make it stand out from the competition. The games were also blatant rip-offs of Atari 2600 games that weren't helped by having mostly identical graphics.
    Commodore CDTV:
    The system was created to be a competitor to the Philips CD-i as a multimedia entertainment system. Its hardware was literally an Amiga 500 computer built into a VCR-like case with a built-in CD-ROM drive and used a wireless remote controller/gamepad combo as its controller. The CDXL-format discs it used could only hold 30 minutes of video data that was of lesser quality than even VHS. Finally, people could buy accessories to turn it into a true Amiga 500 computer, but for the combined price, they're better off just getting an actual Amiga 500 computer.

      Amiga CD32 (Console version of Amiga computers with similar issues to the Commodore console, most notable for having the infamously bad game "The Town With No Name".)
      Playstation Vita (Sony's successor to the Playstation Portable. Arguably had good hardware and a solid start at first but was seemingly hamstrung by a lack of system-defining exclusives. Sony stopped making portable game systems after this.)
      Sega 32X (While this is arguable whether it's considered for this list since it's an add-on, it's an add-on that was designed to give the Sega Genesis a full generational upgrade to it's hardware, so I say it's a good pick for this. Released way too shortly before the Sega Saturn, it managed to eat at it's audience while failing to sustain it's own. Arguably the first major mistake Sega's done, but certainly far from the last.)

I bought one in 1983, couldn't find any third party suppliers of games, and vowed to never buy another system after the company announced, the following year, that they were abandoning the system. I came across no more than five or six games of any interest to me, for the then unsupported machine, and felt like a damn fool. In 1992, I came across a Super Nintendo game system in my hotel room, in Las Vegas. After playing for a while, I asked Santa for one: Later that year, I got one and accepted the anti-social habit back into my life. A year later, my wife filed for divorce, naming Nintendo as corespondent. Your list of crappy consoles is impressive; I'm glad I remained cautious, after the 5200 experience.

    The 64 bit part from the Atari Jaguar marketing refers to its 64 bit bus. The reason for the games looking 16 bit was due to it also having a Motorilla 68000 which was also in the Genesis, and that was easier to develop for than the 2 32 bit processors that people associate with the 64 bit marketing.

    The 3DO was a pretty decent console and def better than every other system on this list. I didn't get one at launch but picked up an FZ-1 during college (circa 2006) with two controllers, the MPEG decoder, and a bunch of games for $120. It has a good amount of really good games and the best home console version of a Street Fighter game (Super Street Fighter II Turbo)...it was the "best of the rest" of the 5th gen video game consoles (behind the PlayStation, N64, and Saturn).

      I didn't have a 3DO, but one of my friends did. It kind of bothers me how misrepresented that system was. So often I hear, "Most of its games were FMV" or, "It was barely more powerful that a 16-bit system." Neither of those claims are remotely true, but that's the thing about systems that failed. You can make wild claims are very few people can call BS because they've never played them. I had an Atari Jaguar and while it was a disappointment, the stuff I hear on TH-cam generally makes me think, they've clearly never played on.

But adding the CD unit was definitely a mistake. Battlemorph was probably the only CD game that made a decent showing for itself. My main take on the Jaguar was the hardware was respectable for $250 in 1993. Not amazing, but not just a Genesis in a different plastic shell that some make it out to be. The real problem was Atari was in no position financially to launch a new console and the game library, apart from a few bright spots, was predictably the shovelware you'd expect from a dying company.

    The Atari 5200 was repackaged 400, but was incompatible with the actual computer. It had a horrible controller which often broke and it offered nothing new other than updated version of what was released on the 2600. The ability to play 2600 games came on the second version of the console. By this time, Atari was struggling due to the crash of 1984 and the consumer division, which included the console and home computers was sold to former Commodore founder and CEO Jack Tramiel.

    The Commodore Games system was actually a Commodore 64 without the keyboard and the cartridge port relocated to the top. Unfortunately, it was never offered for sale in the United States and only sold in Europe. It had no chance against Sega or Nintendo, and at that time, Commodore was struggling, ultimately going bankrupt on April 29, 1994. The actual computer itself holds the record for the most units sold, with individual estimates of 12.5-17 million units. I have a Commodore 64 and a Commodore 128, both great machines in their own right. Even today, the Commodore 64 has an 87% brand recognition.
