Most under-utilized consoles? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.

Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.

That's fair but what I mean is that Sega wasn't afraid to try new things and attempt to push the boundaries. Nowadays, everyone plays it too safe.

They pushed em all right. It was too many different things in too short of a period. SEGA is now a shell of its former self, mostly chucking the name on things for some cash.
