Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming I remember the Atari Jaguar and all the talk around it.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming I also remember it, never played it though. A friend of mine claimed to have played it.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming Surprised there's no mention of the Neo Geo in the hardware list. Always assumed it was too expensive to have been a commercial success.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming Beyond Good & Evil, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, Okami, and Shenmue were really great games. Too bad they never sold so well. I'm surprised that the Sega CD wasn't considered a console flop. That never sold too well, from what I heard. Snatcher should be on that list too.

If six months pass by, something is up.
If I'm gone for a year, assume that I am dead.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming I owned a 3DO....It had arcade perfect conversions of Samurai Shodown and Super street fighter II Turbo. I also owned a 32X. I'm surprised that did not make the list. Okami and Shenmue were indeed great games. Shenmue failed because the budget was to big and sales of the Dreamcast were too low. I don't know why Okami failed. It was a great game and released on the PS2. Maybe it was a bit too weird for the west.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming Poor Psychonauts. I love that game, it's among the most memorable titles for me. You won't find an actual "meat circus" (literally) anywhere else xD At least it's finally getting a bit of attention via steam & co. I demmand a sequel.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming I looked through the list again. I forgot all about the Virtual Boy. I remember using one of those at a store when I was a kid.  I forgot that Nintendo made them.

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming No mention of the Phantom console either. That console was highly anticipated for a while, but then the xbox came out, with xbox-live soon following and the Phantom became obsolete before it was ever released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_%28console%29

Re: List of commercial failures in video gaming The Neogeo pocket colour-I had one of those too. A few months after I got it they stopped making games for it. It was a shame as it was better than the gameboy colour but it lacked third party support. It had a great version of Sonic, Capcom vs SNK and loads of neo geo fighters. I wish I didn't sell it now.
