The 10 worst video game systems of all time

You won't find many fanboys for these consoles, which unite terrible graphics with lousy games and underpowered hardware. Oh yeah--and some were obscenely overpriced, too!

2. Tiger Telematics Gizmondo



Year released: 2005

If there were ever a complete train wreck of a game console, Gizmondo would be it. But its tarnished name in the gaming world has as much to do with the audacious, profligate, and illegal behavior of Tiger Telematics' executives as anything else. Well, that and a terrible game library.

Signature problems: Abysmal games. Monumental marketing hubris. A Ferrari Enzo-splitting executive. Dumb name.

Redeeming features: Console incorporated a GPS receiver and multimedia playback.
