It's kind of crazy to think that in 30 years and dozens of attempts, only one handheld system not made by Nintendo has managed to find success.

Add the Sega Game Gear, though that's mostly in Europe. 11M may not sound like much these days, but that was enough to compete with the Game Boy on equal ground for a while.

That's not true in the slightest bit.

Game Gear lifetime shipments-10.62m

Gameboy FY92 shipments-10.67m

 

Gameboy shipped more in the year that Game Gear launched than Game Gear shipped lifetime. This is even true for Europe.
