Gizmondo: Success or Failure?

[SiDCrAzY]

I just want to comment on Mr. a.l.ex. saying the GP2X is a failure. It is absolutely NOT a failure. The GP2X never set out to compete with the likes of the DS or the PSP, it was intended to be a homebrew handheld from the start. It's place was to take over the niche market the GP32 had created for itself and Gamepark Holdings succeeded in what they wanted the GP2X to be. The Gizmondo IS a failure because Tiger designed this handheld to compete with Nintendo and Sony and FAILED miserably in that aspect. It had horrible sales, even the GP2X has sold more than the Gizmondo. Sure the Gizmondo is a homebrew handheld now, with a decent amount of software out for it, but even in that aspect the GP2X and the PSP completely outclass it. Both the GP2X and the PSP have thriving homebrew communities with constant updates, while the Gizmondo community is at a somewhat standtill when compared to these other communities. Sure it still has some projects going on, but it's nothing compared to the GP2X and the PSP, with that said I still completely respect all the devs. who currently work on these projects for the Giz. Though I cannot think of a single emulator that is better on the Gizmondo, when compared to the GP2X, not to mention the GP2X has alot more homebrew games and it grows day by day. So please don't call the GP2X a failure as it is STILL selling well and consistently and STILL has a very large and active community. It completely succeeded in what it was supposed to be, a GREAT homebrew handheld, unlike the Gizmondo which fails in what it was set out to, a commercial handheld. It's not even that great of a homebrew handheld.
