Dismal Console Failures

Posted by michael on from the flameout dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Shacknews' jason bergman has written an article that looks at some of the biggest failures in console gaming. It's a great read, and spotlights stuff like the Halcyon, a $2500 (!) laserdisc system with only two games and Nintendo's Virtual Boy, a stereoptic system that had red-on-black simulated 3D graphics."

    Lotsa money got wasted for research, and for buying the technology.

    I actualy know somebody that has the sega 32x. I've played with it before, and I think it's quite good, I really don't see why it failed.
