In my opinion the 3DO was a great idea, but the execution was poor. Valve are attempting something very similar with the Steam Machines, perhaps this is the time it'll succeed (Oculus Rift being a 'killer app' of sorts).
Interesting that both the 3DO and Atari Lynx were designed by ex Amiga engineers.
