You can't blame them for being optimistic, it wasn't really meant to compete against the main systems, much less sell like them. I'm sure at least can follow the sales of that Amazon and Apple TV boxes better.

What was it meant to do? Because at the time of it's kickstarter there was a lot of suggestions that it would be an alternative to the big trio of gaming, I mean even at $8.5m raised on Kickstarter seeming like a large figure (before kickstart takes their cut and paypal of course) it was obviously not going to be enough to launch an actual functional console globally, even with a further investment of $10m which they got in 2015 they still closed doors on the project in debt to everyone who had been a part of the system.

All it really takes is a single look at the R&D figures which Sony/MS and Nintendo pump into their systems to see it was going to be a disaster.

Well, it technically was the best Android videogame console at the time? I'm sure now there are things that blow its specs out of the water with Android mobiles alone, but I'm sure it seemed like a good idea in paper. They were too naive and optimistic, that's for sure.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
