It wasn't that much of a failure and nobody I knew at the time compared it to Model 3 or knew what Model 3 was. You might as well include Gamecube, WiiU, everything by Sega but Genesis, TG-16, Atari Lynx, Atari 5200 Coleco Apple Lisa CD-i Atari Jaguar, why did they all fail on some level... If you actually compiled real data for them all and wrote a book on why they all didn't meet their potential, that would be interesting. But as for 50 threads of opinions... Well it seems spammy to me but I guess we don't have anything better going on so, proceed?
