The 10 lamest game consoles, ever

Filed under: Culture, Retro GameDaily opines on what they call the 10 lamest video game consoles, ever. Some real stinkers in there: Atari's Jaguar, Nintendo's Virtual Boy, Philips' CD-i, and the disgrace of a portable called Gizmondo. From the article: "Flustered [by the SNES], the house that Sonic built struck back with this 32-bit add-on in 1994, which (when inserted into the Genesis' cartridge slot) helped the machine play sleeker-looking and -handling games. One problem... Japanese corporate leaders never told their U.S. counterparts Saturn would launch mere months later, reducing third-party development efforts to nil shortly after." Has a console add-on ever really caught on? Look out, 360 HD-DVD player.
