The "World's Most Retarded Gaming Consoles"

[shatnershaman]

the wii is more retarded than any of those. at least when u throw sumthing on there a peice of crap system throw a wii remote u just broke your 50" plasma. the term that pops up beside your head is... "Now what?"

WHAT? Due to your appalling grammar, I can't even understand that sentence. Can someone translate from idiot for me? (joke, in case you took offense). Still doesn't solve my problem that I can't fathom what you typed.

I dislike the Wii.I think it is a bad system. I remember reports of improper use of the Wii-mote leading to it hitting TVs and breaking some. If that happened to me I would not know what to do next.

Egads, the Vectrex was such a stupid idea. But really, it can't be as bad as the Virtual Boy.

The Wii is a failure of people, not the system. How hard is it to figure out a wrist strap?

I...I think I would have loved the Nomad even if it only 30 minutes of play. I loved the genesis (Sega household, didn't have one of those fancy Nin-tin-ders at the time.) Still have the thing in working order too.

Meh. If you want some good video game commentary from Cracked, try this one [http://www.cracked.com/article_16196_7-commandments-all-video-games-should-obey.html] by David Wong, the new editor of Cracked and one of the best writers anywhere on the internet.

EDIT: ALERT: These [http://www.cracked.com/article_15231_7-reasons-21st-century-making-you-miserable.html] two [http://www.cracked.com/article_14990_what-monkeysphere.html] are absolute must-reads. Even those who hate Cracked should read them.

To everyone who is bashing the Wii right now, remember that this list is based primarily on commercial success.

I still think that the Virtual Boy takes the cake, followed closely by the Atari Jaguar ("Where did you learn to fly?")

Retarded is a very very stupid way to brand these. I'm sensing it's because they're not mainstream products they are regarded as second rate.

There are a lot of consoles which really did miss the boat. The GX4000 being the biggest miss I can think of. This was Amstrad's failed attempt to access the console market (based on the CPC6128) but releasing an 8 bit console up against the mighty 16 bit Sega Megadrive pretty much killed their mission before it started.

However, that was when the industry had found it's feet (hence it being a miss). When the video game industry was in its infancy everyone was feeling their way with a brand new technology. Some have to win, some have to lose, but none should be regarded as 'retarded'.
