I think the LaserActive and MegaLD/LD-ROM system was at least as obscure, there may have even been less units made and the cost was certainly much more, plus there weren't exactly many games released on laserdisc.

The Bandai Pippin also only sold half as many as the LaserActive.

Well LaserActive at least got the Retsupurae reaction 7 years ago, so it's not totally obscure.
