Worst console design

Recommended Posts

Some great thoughts here so far!

Enter another contender: the Atari Jaguar!

Apparently 1993 Atari developers thought the future was in controllers that looked like phones!  Nintendo showed it was actually looking like TV remotes, so close……

Funny you should mention the Atari Jaguar… because its crappy console design mould actually got sold and reused by a dental camera device company when Atari went bankrupt!

I'm also going to nominate the Virtual Boy. First of all it looks like some kind of weird UFO, and it looks cheap because of the shiny red plastic. But also in terms of ergonomics, I can't imagine this being comfortable in the long run:

As someone who actually owns a Virtual Boy? I can unequivocally confirm that no. It is not.
