It wasn't a good idea to begin with. In its heyday, Intellivision sold 3 million consoles. There wasn't a lot of nostalgia for it in the same way there wasn't a lot of nostalgia for the Odyssey2 or the Bally Astrocade. Tallarico wanted to take a chance on the brand name, but the already shaky fundamentals of his plan were derailed by the supply chain disruptions. Tallarico's frequent online gaffes didn't help matters, any.
Even if the whole business itself hadn't been a raging garbage fire, I don't see how the Intellivision could have been a success. The Ouya sold 250,000 units despite the fact that Julie Uhrman hyped Ouya to the moon and back. Tallarico didn't have anywhere near that level of hype.
