The Worst Videogame Console of All Time

2011 April 14
by Khaℒid

Video games: For the most part it’s a hobby to us, but for others’ a way of life. We’ve been blessed with some amazing games and experiences in the past, which have attributed to future expectancies from sequels to newer franchises. Now the capabilities of the game solely rely on good hardware and hardware that can deliver the visions of each developer out there. Sometimes ideas become too ahead of their time because the vision in theory works, but in practice just doesn’t work out. Why? Because the console plain out sucks. But what makes it suck? Empty promises. Over the years I’ve been gaming there have been some consoles that just frustrated me to no end. And here’s a list of them from wack, to suck balls.

The worst system out of them all, the Playstation 3. The fail on this console is just beyond belief, always delivering empty promises to the consumer which comically turned against them, from their countless nicknames (delaystation 3, failstation 3, gaystation 3, homostation 3, pissstation 3 and so on.) to their ongoing feud with infamous online hacking group “Anonymous.” The online interface sucks, the online store sucks, Playstation home is garbage/trash (whatever your preference) and worst of all playing online itself is laggy. Sure it’s free, but what good is free when you can’t even use what’s free properly? I truly believe the gaming Gods (God forbid they exist) cursed Sony by making them prematurely give birth to a system–ahead of its time during release. Although it was “ahead of its time” and had countless rumours of how amazing it was, it failed to meet expectations when it mattered most. Sure it had great graphics and better than any of the other consoles, but we are at an age where online gaming is booming and to not be on your shit about it is a problem.

Correction, worst out of all the playstation models, and between the 360 and ps3 >.>

I truly hate the ps3. This console glitches out, freezes up and just plain sucks more than any other console I've ever owned. With painfully long load times, the constant need for updates that take forever even on a good connection, I agree that this system should be rated the worst of ALL

We upgraded our server Thursday and sent the site into madness the past weekend. The site is back up we just need to fix the podcasts server. If we can't get the podcasts server fixed tonight, I'll host it on Hulkshare or something else until we fix it

you sir, are a horribly ignorant piece of shit.

First off, I am 99% certain you made up all of those nicknames.

2nd. you have obviously never play any other consoles other than the ps3 or xbox. have you ever seen a CD-i? how about the virtual boy? you ignorant twit.

3rd, Anonymous only attacked them once. so I guess that applies for ongoing, huh?

4th What about the online store sucks? do you have any points to back that up?

5th. I have never had issues with online. ever.

Your second to last sentence proves you wrong.

"Sure it had great graphics and better than any of the other consoles"

What the fucking hell you piece of shit.

Not to rain on anyone's parade or anything, but this to me seems like someone who opened up their PS3 box, played for a few hours, and RAGED at not being given Star Trek level technology. Do I like my PS3? Yes. Does it do everything I want/have no useless features? No. That in NO WAY makes it the worst system ever.

R.O.B. has to be the worst system ever: IT ONLY SUPPORTS TWO GAMES AND BOTH OF THEM ARE CRAP! AND ONE REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HARDWARE! He is an awfully awesome looking robot though....hmmmmm....

People, the worst console in the world was the Panasonic 3DO. Tied with the VirtualBoy. This is stupid, immature, sensational flame bait.

whate an inane piece of shit

can't believe i wasted my 20 seconds on this. This is supposed to be an "opinion piece"

you must be goddamn 12. you have NO IDEA what absolutely horrid consoles have existed in the past. Consoles you clearly never knew existed. T

Getlemen,
Plain and simple the fact is that all of you are right. Because the beautiful thing about being human is that our capacity for thought allows us to like or dislike things. I personally feel the PS3 has its up's and its downs. For me more ups than downs but I will never argue that the XBOX 360 is not the better system because truly it is.

Chris, You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Khalid has made some great points, and points that are valid. Sony has promised many things to their customers on the Playstation 3. They have even removed features that we had come to use, and now its gone. PS Store is a shit show, PSN is horrible trying to connect to a friend is almost impossible. The mere fact that the system comes at a 300$ price tag and its not backwards compatible is so fucking dumb. And PS Home is a waste of server space and width. Yeah lets by furniture with real money for a fake apartment so i can look cool. Hands down Sony wants all the money they can get from its failed attempt at this system. And oh yeah, don't get me started on the whole yellow light thing too.

it is backward compatible. all you have to do is download a free program. learn your facts ignorant shit.

RoomWithaMoose You are spewing complete, ignorant nonsense. There is no program that you can download to magically transform the all-but-3 PS3 models into backwards compatible vessels. They all are without the graphic synthesizer, which is the main reason why they can't play PS2 games. There is a download straight from Sony, which is for already backwards compatible models (if that's what you're mindlessly referring to). Other than that, no; maybe you should get your facts straight before making yourself look like an idiot.

What the fuck? what console doesn't have a rare fatal error?

This is defiantly the worst pill of shit I have ever read. Seriously you are one insane PS3 hater. This is exactly why gaming journalism is rated so poorly. The PS3 is a great console and is defiantly not the worse console ever. There is little grounds to your argument and the whole post reads like a hormonal teenager whining than a serious article

+1

Would read again. And again. AND AGAIN.

Why? so you can imagine the prepubescent voice that would have typed this? Have you every played a ps3? or seen one? or heard of one? or played video games? ever?

RoomWithaMoose If you honestly want to know, he bought a PS3 to use as his footstool.

RoomWithaMoose it's safe to say that yes, I do own a POS3. And while it is not a footstool, it is in fact a paper weight and for everything I like about it, I hate even more. I mean, I realize you dipped into a serious bag of cliches to try and come up with a failtroll response, but I hope this satisfies your insatiable need to know why someone else hates something you don't. I hope it even improves your day.
