After some reading I still don't "get" Doritosgate, seems like a random overreaction to videogame media business as usual.
Same here. Don't get what the fuss is about...

I'll have to say PSVita. It's not the quality of the device that is in question, but the sales, the lack of marketing, etc. It seems that Sony has abandoned the device already.

Which makes me sad because I own one and am reminded of its wasted potential every time I use it. The fact there still isn't a 1:1 FIFA game where you can take your career mode on the go from the PS3 version is pathetic. "Console experience on an handheld" my ass, unless the console experience the were referring to was a botched launch and a few years of half assed ports.
Denis Dyack. Its been years in the making, but not only did he destroy his company - he destroyed it in a way that set a new standard of failure. He fell further than anyone else, from Nintendo's partner to beneath rock bottom. He owes millions, and has to destroy all of his company's games. He has been exposed by various previous staff members as being an absurd tyrant whose own wife was the company HR coordinator.
He's a games visionary unable to make games, and forced to destroy ten years of work. No one has failed as much as Dyack has.
The Wii U.
It has to be the Vita. Nothing else even comes close in terms of the actual definition of failure.
For me it's 3ds region lock
Sega's Youtube copyright attacks.
Going after 15+ year old games, sending notices to people not even using footage of their games.
My vote goes to the Bayonetta 2 announcement thread nonetheless
Silent Hill HD Collection
Way to fuck up SH2, one of the greatest games ever made.
Nominating a system as failed when it's still going is stupid. As low as the chance of a Vita resurgence is you run the risk of looking like a moron by picking it now in case it does.
Okay, lets sort this out:
1. Update took 30 minutes. I didn't like it at all, but lets not go overboard.
2. Missing features? Like achievements? You can keep them.
3. Region coding does suck, but that's going to be par for the course moving forward.
4. NSMBU is possibly the best 2D Mario ever.
This thread. The word "fail" as anything but a verb. Poll threads. All threads. The world. You.
Me.
The "-gate" suffix in the hands of this generation.
Journalism in scarequotes.
"Dat"
This industry.
Any industry.
Everything.
I am going to have to go with Diablo 3 ... soo much hype, so many problems on release.. and now, who even cares?
The hard core savior of Kinct showed us once again Kinect is not ready for real games, just arm waving casual stuff.
This... Actually, maybe I'd go for Nihilistic themselves, for dropping the ball on two Vita titles, each of which could well have been a GAME CHANGER™ for handheld games, both of which were cruelly disappointing (but only one of which - the aforementioned CoDeclassified - was a complete abortion of a game)...
Blacks Ops Declassiffied and its 6 months development.
mass effect 3 og ending by a landslide. i mean, he got his inspiration from matrix revolutions.
who gets inspired by something that fails beyond words?
Save that for next year.Can I vote for the Lightning Returns Debut Trailer or should that be moved to 2013?
Wii U
In fact, this is the most obvious answer, I don't even know how anything else is up for contention.
Successor to the fastest selling console of all time, releasing during the busiest shopping season with ample supply, and sales are absolutely ATROCIOUS in Europe and America, with plenty of units just sitting on store shelves. This was a company that only a few years ago used to push millions of product in December alone.
Nintendo is likely in a worse situation with Wii U than they were (and still are) with the 3DS, and that spells doom for the company's financial future. Software like NSBM that used to do ridiculous numbers isn't pushing systems, is getting outsold by games that people on this forum call flops like LBP:Karting and CoD: Declassified.
This system is in BIG trouble.
Which one are you?
Sony closing Studio Liverpool.
Honourable mentions: Square Enix for not releasing anything anyone remotly wants to play on consoles and Team Ico for not releasing anything at all.
