Yes, I remember when I first got the infamous black box... the one that claimed to be the one to bring down both Sega and Nintendo.... the PANASONIC 3DO. I hate to admit that it was purchased at full price.... I had the machine for only a few months before the system died. Not the console itself.... the whole shebang. No more games, replacement accessories... it was a useless piece of junk. And it sat under my bed for years before I just threw it away. The worst part about the whole thing is that the games werent even enough to make up for the fact that it was dead. GEX... Twisted.... BUG!..... which oddly enough Sonic appeared in, which dont ask me why.... But then again maybe this WASNT the worst reason of all. The technology was sold off or something, and as a result the CDi came into existance. Oh and according to Wikipedia the damn thing was created by EA's cofounder. Anyway, if any of you can think of your worst console experience, please post. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DO_Interactive_MultiplayerEdit: According to the wiki article the thing was $700 when it came out... I didnt pay that much, so yeah. I wasnt TOTALLY screwed.

I'd have to say PS1, I didn't hate it, but it just wasn't that great all around. I easily sold it over even thinking about sellin my N64. My ps1 always froze, or somethin was wrong, and accesories were expensive, etc. I own a Dreamcast, and I still play it constantly. o.o

PS1 was alright, unfortunately the only games it had for a long time were RPGs... there was a new rpg every month it seemed, and that got old fast. Accessories were expensive, and the fact that you have no choice but to buy Sony brands makes it worse. Like the PS3, if you have anything connected to it that isnt a sony product it voids the warranty instantly.
My Dreamcast was cool, unfortunately it will shut down randomly for no reason. As for the 64, it was good but like any nintendo system it seemed (for me anyway) that the games I liked were very few and far between. I am kinda picky though.

Sony should just implode on itself. They took a great console (PS2) and ruined it. The first gen was fine. But some bonehead said "LETS MAKE EET SMALLER!" and just ruined the party. Stupid Sony, thats what they get, stupid POS3.

Well in all honesty, the PS2 was pretty crap as well. Not due to games or anything, oh no, it had great games, but the fact that the thing broke down like a ****ing 10 year old Geo Metro. I swear, I've got a small pile of two broken PS2s in my room that I don't know what to do with.

I swear, I've got a small pile of two broken PS2s in my room that I don't know what to do with. I dont know, I still have my PS1 and my PS2, and they work just fine. I had a similar problem with my Dreamcasts. I had two that just decided to stop working, resetting themselves from time to time. I dont know, some systems its just luck of the draw. Kinda like my XBOX 360s, I had one for about 3years, it broke and I sent it in (for free), the replacement I had broke, then I sent it back, and got another defective replacement. Now I have one that seems to be working. o___o;;

On a related note, I'd say the worst console I've ever played was....probably the same as what Faker said. I know someone who had it, and I was looking for a gun to shoot myself since it was so horrible.
But then again, it WAS atari. And they made the video gaming industry change with their ET game.

There's a whole lot of Sony bashing in here, and to be honest alot of it is pretty one sided. I think Sony is an excellent brand that has given me alot of great gaming experiences. I played my first RPG on a playstation, and I continue to enjoy playstation even today, although my PS3 is still sitting around waiting for those A+ titles.
Hating an entire company because your system is broke isnt reason enough to hate it, although it sure gives a bad impression. I mean no one wants to buy a car and have it explode a week later (happened to me, true story). Like I said, I have gone through 3 XBOX 360s but that doesnt mean Microsoft sucks as a company; its actually the people who manufactured the original motherboards.
Now if you dont like it because it didnt have any good games, then yeah that might work. But considering Sony Playstation has more 3rd party companies working for them than Microsoft or Nintendo could possibly hope to have, I cant help but wonder, "Wow what's wrong with these people?".
Of course, on a side note, Nintendo single handedly creates most of its most popular titles, either that or they have another company do it but its usually highly supervised. I think someone here pointed out that Nintendo doesnt actually make Smash Bros or something? Or whatever.
But seriously, the console war/hate thing is kind of silly, considering the facts. Obviously if Sony sucked so incredibly bad they wouldnt be in business, and they certainly wouldnt be making more money than everyone else.
I remember everyone was talking about how Nintendo was selling 3 Wiis to every 1 Playstation 3 unit. But if you think about it.... A Wii is $200ish and a Ps3 is $600ish. Sure they are selling more volume wise, but... it might as well be a 1 to 1 ratio because 3 Wiis = $600 anyway, so they technically arent getting that much more.
And also, Microsoft bumscrewed themselves and even though they are 1 year in front of everyone they have lost $6 billion dollars in replacing faulty units, so of course Nintendo has caught up with them in terms of profit.
But yeah I am getting into serious technicalities here. Hahaha!
