It was doing miles better than the competition (Atari Lynx and PC Engine GT), though, which is why I meant to consider it, too. It's main Problem was that Sega decided to focus entirely on the Megadrive/Genesis, thus leaving software support for the Game Gear pretty bare and mostly released Master System ports. After 94 it didn't sell much anymore due to this, those 10M came mostly just from the 2 first years. |
I would say its biggest problem was the crappy battery life and it was expensive. Sega released a lot of games on it. HellI think they had more Sonic games (spinoffs included) than they had on Genesis
