That's not true in the slightest bit. Game Gear lifetime shipments-10.62m Gameboy FY92 shipments-10.67m
Gameboy shipped more in the year that Game Gear launched than Game Gear shipped lifetime. This is even true for Europe. |
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.
