List of major commercial failures in computer and video gaming
I think this list shows how wikipedia can be quite unique. We worked on this list a while ago as the Gaming collaboration of the week. If you object, please give feedback on where you feel this list could be improved. Jacoplane 17:11, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Too subjective.  No sources.  There's no way this is complete, as I bet most games are commercial failures. Dave (talk) 19:21, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Too subjective and simplistic. This article should maybe even be deleted, The Xbox is a commercial failure (circa $1 billion lost) but it doesnt belong on the list, while the Sega Game Gear was commerically successful and returned a profit but still wasnt successful enough for Sega to create a successor so is considered by many a failure despite being a Commercial success. Most games produced dont return a profit, this list is going to turn into "A List of what the general public perceives as a commercial success". What complicates this even more is almost all Consoles are sold at a loss and are made up through software sales so almost all hardware could be considered a comerical failure, plus peripherals released often never return a profit on their own but are designed to make one platform more attractive and thus help return a profit. - UnlimitedAccess 23:48, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
