Saw this story on yahoo news, was curious about everyone's opinion.

http://games.yahoo.com/news/10-worst-video-game-consoles-time-174546072.html

I am on the fence about the 32x myself.

Even though the Virtual Boy didn't have much of a good library, I still had a lot of fun playing it. Wish I could actually have one myself.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

The whole 32X thing is debatable.  It has it's own games, so I can see how it could be classified as its own console.

The fact that the virtual boy may have had something to with the 3DS' creation doesn't make the Virtual Boy a good console (not to mention that your argument is very debatable). If it weren't for Hitler, then we wouldn't have the bloated military that we do today, which means that we likely wouldn't all be running around with our own cell phones and GPS systems.  Doesn't make Hitler good.

I think the 32X counts as its own console. Same with the e-Reader. The DSi had three DSi exclusive games release in NA. Would that make it its own console?

For me 32x is an add on, you can't play with the 32x alone, you need to have a Genesis to play the 32X, its an add on for the genesis

It sure is an Add-on-console.

The list itself is Bull S**t.

The 3do was a great system but with some really poor software and the CD-i was not a game console. It was a multimedia system that could play some games.
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

Just another game author who googled for 5 mins and grabbed a few other lists.  What about odyssey?  You had to stick stuff to your tv for it.  It had no real cames, the carts just connected diffrent circuits almost like dipswitches. But it was the first of it's kind, so good, or bad?  What about Laseractive?  It was mostly a megadrive\pce but it's own games were, well, on REALLY big CDs.  So they had to be good.  Right?  And if you list the pippen, what about the PC-FX? Same concept.  And no mention of the CD32, an amiga with all the good stuff removed.  Or the CDTV, an old amiga with the good stuff removed. 3DO?  Just beliving the hype, same with Virtua Boy, same people who claim E.T. is the worst game ever cause they can't figure out you exit the holes from the bottom. 

And you forgot the Atari Vaguar.  (I'm claiming that's a typo).  Stick the CD add-on in it, it's a toilet.  Paint it white and stick it to the wall, it's a piece of dential equipment.  And it had a skiing game that wasn't as good as the mini-game in Final Fantasy 7, that's not a good sign.  And I'll admit it, the Lynx sucked too.  Every game you play, you're one step away from the edge of the screen and can never see what's comming. Game.com was right on the money though.

Oh and don't forget the Atari 5200 with pre-broken joysticks right out of the box.

Surprice XBOne was not on the list.

Seems that the big selling point, the pass-thru connecting other video sorces is fucked in Europe.
