Last week, I talked about some of the best U.S. launch games ever. This time, I want to look at the consoles that had the weakest launch lineups.

I have a few notes before we get started. I’m talking about home and handheld consoles starting with the NES (if only for the arbitrary reason that I just don’t know much about the home gaming market in those Atari days). I’m also not going to be worrying about smaller or infamously bad consoles. Yes, obviously the CD-i had a bad launch lineup.
