What was your favorite failed or short-lived game console?

[U4K61]

I always had a thing for Mattel's 1980 Intellivision. For me it was a more refined system over the Atari 2600. The sleek numeric-bubble pads had a 16 direction control over the Atari's blocky 8 direction one button joystick - not that it really mattered much in actual game play. And then there was the always on-going, never fulfilled promise of a keyboard with extra memory(64k)/cartilage slot and printer to get an affordable computer. Despite the slip-up, it was my machine, By 1982 - 2,000,000 had been sold. Too bad I diden't save mine.

Now the PS3 fills that role of came console/computer that I always wanted for my TV er HDTV.
