The issue with the others is the same thing thats plagued the xbox the last 7 years or so. There's nothing to play on them. Youve gotta have software.
The Turbo Grafx 16 really should've been a bigger player in that era. Stuff like Splatterhouse and Bonk were good shit. Plus the games coming on cards was pretty neat. No bulky cartridges to take up room.
