Why Apple Bandai Pippin might be annoying:

    It was more expensive than other gaming consoles.
    Very few titles were ever available for it.
    Purchasers who wanted to use it to go online were required to use a specific internet provider, PSInet.
    It was slow both on and off line.
    It was declared the 'Worst Selling Game Console of All Time' at GamePro.com (only 42,000 sold).

Why Apple Bandai Pippin might not be annoying:

    It predated Xbox and the Sega Dreamcast as an internet-capable game console.
    If it had been marketed better as a cheap computer instead of an expensive game console it might have done better commercially.
    Some models, such as the ATMARK in black, are collector items.
