Is there any system you regret buying?

I bought an X-Box 360 when Mass Effect came out; the reviews painted it to be the game I always wanted. Couldn't wait to play it. So I bought it and the system when ME was first released.

...Couple years later, I see a poster for Mass Effect 2. Whoa, time flies. I still hadn't even played ME 1! I bought ME:2, and put it on the shelf.

...Couple more years later, I see Mass Effect 3 behind the glass at EB Games. I buy it and go home. That night, I turn on my X-Box and... I had to build a damn profile first. The damn thing sat on my shelf for years before I had even turned it on!

So yeah, my 360 was a regret.

PlayStation 3.
All games that I wanted to have on this system eventually has been released on PC. Played it literally for several weeks and then returned to PC, because, I have become accustomed to its benefits.

Well, at least joy-pad ended up being useful for PC games.

I regret not buying a console I wanted.

I regret buying a (used) Dreamcast ONLY because I let a friend borrow it in short order, then HE let his brother borrow it, and his brother then moved out of state and I never got it back.

Otherwise, no. I may not give each of them the attention they deserve but they're all my babies, from the 2600 to today and hopefully they all know they're loved sincerely.

I bought an X-Box One S when it first came out. I am a PS guy, but I bought the S basically solely for the 4k player at the time. I used it twice, hated the player and never cared for the Xbox outside of that. Wound up buying an Oppo UDP-203 and the X-Box wound up sitting, basically MIB for the last 3.5 years. I'd have regret buying it, but I recently gave it to my step daughter. It's gotten some major use since the lockdown started and so I guess in hindsight it turned out to be money well spent.

The player was no good, or you just didn't care for 4k?

I haven't owned an X-Box since 360 was in vogue, but I've been tempted to play the last few Halo and Gears games, which are series I used to enjoy. I also love watching 4k's.

Not really. I can't afford to buy consoles when they're new so by the time the price dropped, they already would have released a large enough library of games that would justify it for me to buy it.

My only possibly regret was not getting the Dreamcast cause I think it was the only console that played the Marvel VS games at the time with the ability to actually tag the characters in and out.
