Released in 2013, Ouya was canceled soon after its launch for a plethora of reasons.

Consumers can tell when a console will be a hit, and they tend to purchase consoles with the best specifications.

For apparent reasons, we can dissect why the following consoles were unsuccessful with respect to sales.

Including a 90s console with online capabilities, a retro virtual reality console, and one that is also a cell phone, these are ten video game consoles that failed miserably.

Moreover, the console was the first to play games in 128-bit and the first to feature real-time online gameplay.

It accomplished several groundbreaking achievements, but was ahead of its time and didnt appeal to the public.

Did you know that the Sega Dreamcast allows you to surf the web and write e-mails.

One flaw is that only a handful of games featured Nintendos iconic characters.

Without Nintendos amiable characters like Mario and Yoshi, people became disinterested.

Also, with a price tag of 175.95, it was too expensive to appeal to the public.

The clunkiness of the Virtual Boy is one of the reasons it failed miserably.

Now, players can play the Virtual Boys red display games without issue.

With competitors like the cutting-edge Sega Genesis and the upcoming Super Nintendo, Atari Jaguar had plenty of obstacles to overcome.

Contrary to popular belief, the Atari Jaguar was a 32-bit console and not 64-bit.

Despite this, it was marketed as a 64-bit console in a time where bits were more important than resolution or frame-rates.

After the failure of the Jaguar, Atari stopped producing video game consoles.

The device is comparable to a smartphone for its voice calling feature and ability to play games.

Whether you consider it to be a video game console or a smartphone, theres no doubt in our minds that the N-Gage was a revolutionary device that was ahead of its time.

Smartphones didnt become mainstream until years later, which could be why the Nokia N-Gage was destined to fail.

One game titled Hotel Mario could have been a hit if the console didnt fail miserably.

The games on the Neo Geo CD were not terrible, but a string of mediocre titles held the console from reaching its potential.

Its cartridge counterpart is seen by many as superior to the Neo Geo CD because of faster loading times.

Suffice to say, the Neo Geo CD was not the hit that the SNK Corporation was longing for.
