Most under-utilized consoles? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.

Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.

The Nintendo64 has so much power in the hardware that goes more or less wasted in every game that ever officially released for the console. I mean, they could never have known back then the programming techniques we know now, so it's not really their fault.
