Top 10 Gaming Consoles that Failed

GameSpy has a top ten list of gaming consoles that never succeeded. From Virtua Boy, Jaguar, and Saturn, how many on this list have you bought? Sony PSP Delayed Sony told its partners that the PSP gaming handheld will not launch this Christmas in the United States. However it is still slated for a 2004 launch in Japan. It will be interesting to see how many of the new whiz-bang features will make the final release of this Gameboy competitor. Sony has informed publishers, developers and retailers that while it still plans to launch its handheld gaming and entertainment device in Japan this holiday season, the PSP will not hit shelves in North America or Europe until calendar year 2005. "The reason we pushed it out here is we wanted to be sure there's a reasonable amount of software titles to launch with hardware," said Teresa Weaver, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment. The system will ship globally before the end of Sony's fiscal year (which ends in March 2005). Do you agree or disagree? What are your thoughts? Comment on the discussion forum. [Discussion]
