| NIKOS_SE said: biggest flop last generation??? yes you can say gizmodo but it came from a company that nobody knew so no. The biggest flop has to be the n-gage because it came from a company that now sells 500 million phones a year (and thats how much all nintendo systems portable or not have sold in 20 years).So it should have made a much bigger impact than it actually made so it was a big flop.It wasnt a bad idea just wrongly conceived just like gamegear!! p.s. The 500million thing ,i mention it just to emphasize on brand awareness which was much bigger than nintendo.And if the brand awareness had nothing to do with gaming(although everyone played snake on nokia mobiles), it had to do with mobile as a whole p.s2 i cant wait for the company that will actually revolutionize on mobile gaming(apple has a good start) |
I wouldn't call the ngage a flop, it apparently sold over 2 million by the end of 2005 and when you consider it's part of the mobile/cell phone market where 100s of different handsets are realeased every year it's kinda up against more competion than the handheld gaming market where the consumer has a choice of 2 consoles every half decade or so.
