I vote for the Saturn.

You forgot the Dreamcast. I vote for that.

It sold like 6 million units. I think the DC was there, it just fell behind too quickly and Sega was too poor to tough it out. The system sold better in it's first year than PSX did.

I have to say 3DO if only for one game: Star Control 2. The 3DO had the best version of this, one of the greatest games ever made. A stunning mixture of simulation/shooter/RPG elements that has yet to be equalled today. Add the awesome voice acting, moody music, and long-ass open-ended gameplay and you've got a classic there.

The system also had the best version of Return Fire, one of the best multiplayer games of it's time. Always had a blast playing that against my brother before he moved off to college. And some will also argue that with the special 6-button pad, the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on 3DO was the best home console version ever of a 2-D SF game.

You either have that line in a .txt file and have used it many times, or I'm having deja vu for reals

No Sega CD?

I'm really uncertain as to what the requisite for an included system is... are they all consoles that were considered to be failues by overall sales? And if so, sales in the US only, or world-wide?

Atari 7800, easily. During it's short run, I played Pole Position, Dig Dug, and Joust until I couldn't see. Not having my own NES at the time (I had a SMS), that was enough for me.

I bought a 3DO with 30 games about three or four years ago, too late to enjoy some of the more impressive games it had to offer. I've never really sat down and tried to play any of them at length, though Return Fire, Star Control, and SF2 are nicely done. Man, Crash N' Burn and Total Eclipse fucking blow.
