Xbox, I thought all the games on it at the time were below par in quality and deversity in games. Also the controller size was to big for my gargantuan hands. The only good game to play one the Xbox was definetly Halo, and I thought it wasn't that good to tell you the truth.
A trio of SMS regrets:
Alex Kidd The Lost Star. What a horrible sequel to one of my favorite SMS games.
Zillion 2: Plays nothing like Zillion 1. It is not a bad game but shouldn't have the Zillion name
Enduro Racer: Sega pulled a fast one on us. I was expecting so much after Space Harrier SMS.
System wise, Virtual Boy sucked.

The biggest culprit, however, has to be Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Ocarina of Time is my favorite game ever, so I was hyped as fuck about a next-gen (at the time) Zelda title. I didn't like the cell shaded graphics, but I was willing to overlook that because, fuck, a bigger and better game than Ocarina of Time was about to come out. When the game finally came out, I spent the next few days playing through it. The first two-thirds was awesome, and when I found out I had to collect a bunch of Triforce pieces, I thought, "Fuckin' awesome! There's going to be at least five more dungeons," only to find out that such a quest entailed sailing around and fishing the Triforce pieces out of the water. The game ended where I thought it was only half-way over. When I finished it, the only thing I felt was utter disappointment. I still think it's a good game. It just let me down the most.
Coincidentally, the runner-up in this topic is Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. With a more realistic art style and hyped as the biggest Zelda title ever, I was hopeful (but not hyped) that this would make up for Nintendo's previous attempt. Sadly, I found it to be a worse game than Wind Waker. The Disney-esque feel, wolf fetch quests, gratuitous dialog and story, and limited number of dungeons (although I admit they were some of the biggest dungeons in the series), and overall padding that went into the game's length just turned me off. I'd say it's the worst title in the series.
Blue Blink (PCE)
They sold this game as Super Mario 3 for the PCE/Turbo. Not even a tenth as good as any SMB game.
Fable. I bought into the hype and expected the "best RPG ever". I read all the previews and thought it was going to be absolutely amazing.
As everyone knows, Fable turned out to be a decent action-adventure with an interesting sandbox aspect and some boneheaded flaws. It also didn't let you explore freely. The (bloom-abusing) graphics were nice at times and N64-quality at other occasions.
Fable isn't a bad game. But it didn't deliver what it promised, and that killed my enjoyment of the game.
Everything on the Jaguar.
Cybermorph = The most repetitive game I've ever played.
Aliens Vs. Predator = Choppy frame rate and lack-luster level design.
Troy Aikman Football = WTF? Even Mike Ditka's football game on the SNES was better.
Supercross 3-D = 5 frames per second of MX yawn.
Checkered Flag = Does the Jag have a problem with frame-rates? This game made Virtua Racing look like the king of racing games.
The Jag was good for Wolfenstein 3-D, Tempest 2000, Doom, Theme Park and a couple of other games at best.
