Which Console/Handheld do you regret buying?

[-Aaron]

None really. I don't buy in on the hype most of the time, and I usually don't buy on the first day.

What I usually do is let the system live its life. Then midway is when I decide. The deciding factor for me is # of exclusives, then narrow it down to the # of exclusives I actually want to play.

If there's one thing I did hate though, it was the Wii's online system. Registering a bunch of Friend Codes was just pure BS. Also, it was pretty unreliable.

I've had an xbox 360 for two years and I regret every moment of choosing it over a PS3 ;__; PS3 obviously has many more exclusives and perks and honestly the only xbox exclusive things are shooters which aren't really my thing. the controller's big and bulky and I can't stand playing it anymore, I've taken out my Wii and my PS2 to replace it.

Normally I would say my wii, but I use it sooooo often for certain HM and RF gaming also Netflix lol xD So I chose Other as I had a GBA, didn't really feel like it was ever fun overall haha. I have to say I love my PSP I bought it specifically for newer PSP releases to NA, I am hoping to see more titles show up<3

I don't really regret buying any of the consoles I have had over the years. Games on the other hand, I've got plenty of regrets regarding THOSE purchases.

i regret buying a dsi. i sold it, but for only half of what i originally paid, so it was a waste of money and time.

My PSP.
I bought 2 games for it and only one of them was any good.

I didn't understand why the 360 was leading the poll until I read the comments. But I agree, the 360 was the first console to ever brake on me. I didn't care for most of the exclusives they offered since I'm not a shooter fan and I never played online because it was something I had to pay for. Honestly, if I hadn't played on my 360 way more than my PSP, I would had voted for it too.

I bought a Game Boy Color from a pawn shop and wish I hadn't, because I waited too long to return it. Although I'm selling it to a friend for more than I bought it, I kind of wasted time on it.

 

[yro]

None, really.
Haven't spent a ton of time with the Wii U, but MK8 is fun and I still have W101 and WWHD to finish.

Also, all of y'all saying the PSP need to install CFW and turn it into the godlike emulation device (with a few other good games) that it is.

3DS because I should have waited a year and gotten the animal crossing one.

 

[Lady Timpani]

I haven't really regretted buying any console so far.

I will say that I asked for the 3DS solely for Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and when that turned out to be a bust, I didn't really play any games on it until I got into the Ace Attorney series. Then ACNL and other good games came out.

 

[Waluigi]

I used to regret buying ky wii u but now that quality games are coming for it its worth buying.

I never bought a dsi because i realized its nothing but a gimmicky internet 3ds. The 3ds is gimmicky too but the games are new for it.

I used the xbox 360 for a while but tbh its not good. I still use it though.

 

[Misuzurin]

The Vita by far. Colossal waste of money to play ps2 games I've already played. After plating Virtue's Last Reward and Persona 4 Golden, I sold the Vita to a kid for 70 bucks who doesn't even play it anymore. Bought VLR for my 3DS afterwards.

 

[n64king]

This poll by far isn't surprising at all. It feels like a reconfirmation, but the peoples reasonings are quite interesting.

The Wii got a lot of votes but no one posted why they regretted it? Unless I missed it *squints*

 

[Reindeer]

I regret buying a Wii. I only played a handful of games on it, and the motion controls were overblown. Then the Motion Plus came out and I got Skyward Sword and it was even more of a piece of ****.

Only games I remember enjoying on that system were the ones where I could use an actual controller, rather than the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

It's also the only system I regret buying.

 

[WonderK]

Xbox 360. Must I explain more?

 

[spCrossing]

I actually have the Xbox One...and I only watch and stream movies on that thing...
And my PS4 is collecting dust....the only console I use this generation is the Wii U, because there's games I actually care for that thing.

 

[Oriana]

PSP. The system itself is sturdy and well-built but the games on it are lacking. I never found a PSP game that I really loved. They were all okay to me.

 

[Reindeer]

Xbox 360. Must I explain more?

Yes, because many people love the 360. Mine broke and it's the only console that has done that, but it worked fine for several years and I had lots of fun with it. I don't see how just saying "xbax tree siddy lel" explains anything.

 

[Vinathi]

I don't regret buying my Wii because I played it so much for like two years after I got it. Now, it's just collecting dust.

However, I do regret buying the DSi. I traded in my DS Lite for a DSi and I hated it. Sometime later, I traded in my DSi for a DS Lite lol.

 

[Kaiaa]

PS3 sat and collected dust, I didn't buy it though. I at least got to play The Last Of Us on it and a few ps1 virtual console games
