We've all got an N64 or a snes tucked away in the loft that we dust off from time to time but but how many other more obscure consoles do you own (or haved owned)

For me the most obscure was probably the Phillips CDI, I don't know anyone else on a personal level that owned one

In order the order of how many units each one sold here are my top 3. the sales numbers come from Wikipedia
1. Tiger Game.com (yes I really own one and I still do)! Sales fewer than 300,000
2. Neo Geo Pocket Color (I love this thing so hard) Sales 2 million
3. Gameboy Micro (it might be even better than the SP)Sales 2.42 million
I am hoping to get a Tiger Telematics Gizmondo and a Gameboy Light sometime in the future. I know the Gizmondo sold less than 25,000 units, but I not sure how many the Light sold either way those two will (hopefully) be the rarest I ever get.

Formally Square-enixFan. Come on Square (and Enix) come back to the land...of BUTTONS
Thank you SNK for making the Neo Geo Pocket Color, because it is awesome

It's literally the most obscure console I have ever owned. /badjoke
As for uncommon consoles, none that I can think of. Just like my games, my consoles have been pretty mainstream.

My Intellvision with about 30 games...

Which was quite fun,,,, with the exception of the controller and the stupid plastic covers you would put over the # buttons and each game had their on plastic game controller cover... and you either lost them or they got torn.. which means it was hard to play any game with out them

Stark- Throw on some hot rod red...

Jarvis- Yes, that will help you keep a low profile...
