7. Atari Jaguar & Wii: $250
Atari showed some self belief that they could still be a contender to the gaming console throne, the type of self belief that makes you think "Aww, how cute, that's nice" that a child of four has in their art capabilities before you throw their disgusting efforts into the bin. Atari's dash for the console kingdom came with the release of the Atari Jaguar in 1993. Advertised as the first 64bit console, but in reality offered terrible games that barely equalled the power of the SNES. What also added to the mendacity of the console was the awkward control pad that resembled a car seat headrest with buttons smashed into its face. Atari did a great of job of taking no other companies success stories on board and instead attempted to write their own in blood on a toilet wall. The Jaguar aimed to take on the SNES and Genesis but instead took a turn down a dark alley, stumbling into a fight to the death with the PlayStation and Saturn. Sony's and Sega's offerings were two far superior machines in terms of power and gaming output. The Jaguar was an impressive commercial failure despite Atari throwing and prototyping various peripherals in its direction such as a VR headset, internet browser and even a multitap for four player madness on White Men Can't Jump. The Jaguar was discontinued in 1996 but still managed to rear its head into a few gaming chains over the years as the nostalgia bug was quickly on the rise.
Inflation Price: $403 The Wii doesn't need an introduction and it flew off the shelves when it was released. The Wii has safely etched itself into the brains of every gamer worldwide and heralded in the first successful motion sensor console. As of October 2013 the Wii has been discontinued in Europe and Japan while the Wii U slowly tries to gain momentum on its bigger brother.
