Lol! That bad, huh? I wasn't even aware about the existence of said console.It bankrupt Konix so how does that not count as a failure??

Konix were a crazy company they tried to make a console that the games came on floppy disc lol. Yet for some reason they had managed to convince some of the world's biggest companies to make games for the system including Capcom. Technically the Multisystem failed twice as it then was further developed by Atari after Konix died and it became the Atari Jaguar.Lol! That bad, huh?

Sounds like Tiger.com.Yet for some reason they had managed to convince some of the world's biggest companies to make games for the system including Capcom.
Sega leaving the console market
That was the result of years of mistakes by Sega.
I think it has to be the Saturn. Between the terrible launch timing overlapping the awful 32X , the price versus the Playstation, and the hard to develop on architecture for 3D, it completely killed Sega's console market, even if it took another generation to peter out.
The unnecessary cycle of new hardware every 6 (ish) years...
Sega really fucked themselves out of the console market. Apparently there was a lot of tension between Sega of America and Sega (of Japan) which resulted in Sega competing with itself and eventually collapsing. This was probably exacerbated by the rapid console release cycle that
A better option would (maybe) have been to make the Saturn backwards-compatible with the Mega Drive. That would have let them move with the market towards CD based games while keeping the people who had a huge collection of games around.
Please explain exactly how Nintendo fucked up the deal?? It's well known Sony tricked Nintendo into signing a contract that meant Nintendo would make Zero money from any CD game sold for the system. When Nintendo found out they had no option other than to break the deal and work with Phillips.The first that comes to mind is Nintendo f**king up the partnership with Sony. I wonder how the console marked would have looked if Nintendo followed up on that deal.
The crash of the entire market Atari caused back in 1983. Nintendo was lucky and managed to revive what was assumed to be a dead market with the NES.The gaming world has seen many failures over the years. For one reason or another, the game or the device hasn't sold or taken off to be considered a success. This doesn't me it was a bad product. This could be even a moment, but later the company turned it around, for example is the Xbox One launch with Microsoft saying the console would need online access once a day. Another examples are the Earthbound and Beyond Good and Evil games, which received generally positive reviews from critics and players alike but were not a commercial success, which then effected future games in the series one way or another.
Examples are:
- Xbox One launch
- Nintendo virtual boy
- E.T on the Atari
- Stadia
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Earthbound
- Nintendo Wii U
- PlayStation Classic
- Shenmue and Shenmue II
For me, it's the PlayStation Vita. It had so much potential. But Sony using Proprietary PS Vita memory, it just didn't take off. Sony gave up on it pretty soon after its launch. It becomes known as an indie console, then later known for its Homebrew scene.
Hay, you might say, the Ouya? What do you think are the biggest failures in gaming and why?
