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.

Possibly the Amiga CD32, the akiko chip wasn't really used for anything graphics based that it could have done. Someone with a more technical mind would probably know how that could have been better used.
