    The Red Rings. Why? Because it was Microsoft's fault, not some assholes doing some hacking, sure it was inadvertently Sony's fault for allowing it to be easy to be doable but Microsoft messed up on the original model of the Xbox 360 by themselves without any help from outside so that's significantly worse, not that Sony gets off the hook because they still screwed up big time, it's just that Microsoft screwed up [I]more[/I] As for the 2DS, yes it's a fail, but at least it damn well works (because it's essentially a non-clamshell 3DS without the 3D part so of course it works). Stupid and unprofitable? Yes. But still at least the f.ucking thing works unlike the goddamn Red Ring Xbox 360s and Hacked PSN fortnight... And yes I know Sony took too long getting PSN back up but I don't care, Microsoft f.ucked up harder with 3 whole months of mixture of working and faulty consoles which I consider worse and I am surprised that PS3 got more votes. It's only 2 weeks not an entire product line whereby the first model consisted of consoles whereby only 20% of them worked... Thank God for the later models... -_-

    • The hack, why? Well it's your personal account with real money and maybe your life too.

    • I would say the biggest gaming fail probably had to be the Wii U. Some people didn't even know it came out(and some probably still don't).

    • I think the biggest fail is that even today many years after its release and many revised models later. 360 still scratches your disks if you move it. I mean really. Couldn't figure out how to fix that. If it does it on the ONE I will freak out.

        Well, it's either the Red Rings or the PSN hack. (From those choices) That being said, MS did fess up to the RROD issue pretty quick and gave everyone a free three year replacement warranty. However, it took numerous model revisions until they finally solved that problem. They made a huge mistake rushing the first version to market. This had to have shown up in internal testing. The PSN hack was not handled well by Sony. If you think your customers' credit card info might be compromised, you don't tell them so a week later. You tell them right freaking now! Plus, it took nearly a month to restore full functionality. Day after day was going by without any updates or response, they left a whole bunch of their consumers in the dark. I say it's a tie.

        • Sony's network problem. It was hilariously ironic watching all the Sonies initially claiming that their network was better because it was free, then rage ensued when everything was hacked. :)

          • Why is the 2DS included? You can't even think about calling it a failure until its been on the market for some time. Furthermore, while the form factor and the choice of some included and excluded features is admittedly odd, I think it is designed and priced well for its target audience.

              • None of those that you listed was "the biggest gaming fail" in my opinion. The biggest 'fail' I can think of is the PR of Xbox One shortly after it's announcement. It was a new facepalm moment every single day.

                • A while ago I would have said APB. One of the biggest budgets in gaming history and it took less than 2 months before the developers that went into admin. Also I seem to remember their was a review embargo which lasted a week [b]after [/b]the games launch.

                • I say RROD because it cost Microsoft more than a billion dollars to fix and the PSN hack was around the one hundred seventy million dollars. Source Google.

                  Doritogate, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and Simcity 5 should be on that list. Get your stuff together, OP. The Playstation Network wasn't even that serious and did the industry good. Funfact: You can play offline in Simcity 5 by enabling developer mode and changing one setting. It even lets you build outside your designated city area!
