The original Game Boy did sell fairly well, and came close to matching the NES' sales before it was finally discontinued and replaced with the Game Boy Pocket. From 1991 to 1997, however, it had the Game Gear competing against it. In the peak years, the combined hardware and software share between the two hovered somewhere around 75% Game Boy/25% Game Gear, the closest any handheld ever came to overthrowing the Game Boy. Similarly, the PSP is currently hovering around 25% hardware/software-combined market share to the DS's 75%.
