Strongly disagree. The Saturn is very much overrated in gaming communities like the Dreamcast is, though less so.


Subjective and many of the games are redundant due to overlap with the PSX library.

The vast majority of Saturn's multiplats were inferior to PlayStation, and there would often be a lag between releases.

There's been a bit of hype of YouTube about how much of a hidden gem the Saturn is and, as someone who owned one back in the day, temper your expectations.

1996 was a great year for Sega's first party (Sega Rally and Virtua Fighter 2 slipped into that year here in the UK), but after that it just died on its arse in terms of game releases in the west.

I voted Xbox series.

Series S just gimped the gen for devs having to design with it in mind.

Series X touted as most powerful console and it never outshined the ps5 by a significant margin once on any game I recall. Plus it's got no exclusives lol.

There was no reason for the Series S/X to exist.

All good points, but considering no one's buying them then it doesn't count.

Surely a console has be first be rated before it can be deemed overrated.

I'm torn between the Wii and Xbox 360. The Wii had Wii Sports and they had some good first party games, but overall, it was a paradise for shovelware. It old sold well because of geezers and Nintendo fans. The entire system was a letdown compared to the hype.

But then the 360 also was a total pile of crap. While it has a super impressive couple of years of great games, the initial few years were played by the crappiest hardware failures I've ever seen and then someone thought gamers wanted to stand up so they made Kinnect. And who got rid of the Blades UI? That UI was amazing. Instead they started making Miis, from the other most over hyped console: the Wii.

Given that the 360 copies the Wii with Miis, I'm going with 360. Thanks, GAF, for letting me talk out my hatred.

It can be any system for any reason.

I personally think that the SNES and N64 are painfully overrated.
For the SNES, I feel like there are very little good games (although the good ones are great) and most of the good ones are just RPGs. The majority of SNES games feel like: Copy > Paste.

And for the N64, I just personally don't like that system outside of Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64.

Hence why you need to be my boi toy. No, just no.

PS5 is voted worst PlayStation and now most overrated console

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. PS5 is such a letdown. Just glad most agree.

Completely agree, 360 went downhill fast after 2007.

The Saturn was a good console. VF2, Daytona, X-Men Children of the Atom (way before it got ported to PlayStation). I never owned one but I have great memories playing on it in 95/96.
