Wow thats alot of neat info!!!!! But you said Gameboy software continued to dominate then went on to show that Color software had 55% marketshare in 1999 & 68% marketshare in 2000 compared to 45% & 31% for Gameboy. Also NOA dominance really isnt that surprising considering one thing, Pokemon.1999/2000 was the peak of Pokemania. |
Normally, old-gen tapers off much more quickly once the new-gen is out.
In my opinion, that's quite a significant % of software revenues for an old console that's had a clear successor out for two years. Maybe "dominated" is a little extreme, but it gets the point across.
The Game Boy Color lasted for less than three years before the Game Boy Advance came out, and it couldn't even command a significant majority of software. That's pretty bad.
Game Boy Color weakness tends to get glossed over because of how well the hardware sold.
