Hold on... Just because I was gone for one days means nothing. I am not defending the Gizmondo, I am defending my thread. I could care less for the Gizmondo. I only care about the fact that the Gizmondo, like every other portable, or console, has its strengths and weaknesses. To consider the entire portable a failure is wrong, because it only failed in popularity. I could care less about the Nintendo DS, and Playstation Portable too. Why? Why should I? I never created them. But if someone says that they both suck, because they're not popular, I will state the facts, because they are both popular. Well... More so with the Nintendo DS. Anyways, I know that the Gizmondo was a complete failure with sales, but for what it can do, its a marvel of technology. Do I care? No. Then why am I stating all of these compliments? Well, they aren't really compliments, because they are facts. The Gizmondo is a marvel of technology, and everyone else, besides me, has played the Gizmondo. If you haven't played it, don't bash it.

I may have bashed the Playstation 3 before, because I didn't know any better. I guess you could say, I changed my mind. Why? Because the Playstation 3 is the cheapest Blu-Ray Player on the market. All consoles are good in their own ways, even the "failures." And boy, are there a lot of failures!

The N-Gage has its strengths, the Zodiac has its strengths, the Microvision has its strengths, and even the Gizmondo has its strengths.

To conclude, stop bashing the lower class consoles. Until you create a superior console, or played the "failure" consoles, you cannot judge. Even if you do create a superior console, respect the other ones. Just because another console, or portable may be superior, doesn't mean that the other one is bad. And even if it is, all consoles, and portables should be respected for what they are. And that is a fact.

If you were to say that the Gizmondo was a success, I would have to disagree with you, because the Gizmondo was not a success, because I'm sorry, but 10,000 units, or whatever, sold, is not a success, but...

AN

UTTER

FAILURE

when compared to other consoles. Then again, 10,000 units is still kind of impressive. That's a lot of consoles. I mean, nowhere near the Nintendo DS. Then again, I guess that means less people can fully enjoy the technology that the Gizmondo has to offer. And if you isolate the Gizmondo from the other crowd, and compare the Gizmondo with a rock, then you will see that the Gizmondo is still a powerful system. And that is a fact.

By the way, I haven't played a single Gizmondo game yet. Also, I am not finding it fun to play. But, I am also not finding the Playstation Portable fun. But that's probably just me. However, I know my facts, and I know that the Gizmondo, and all of the other portables, are quite fun to play.

No, it would not make sense to call the Gizmondo a success. BECAUSE IT ISN'T! But (yes, there is always a but), it's a marvel of technology.

That is the only point I wanted to make! If you FULLY read all of my posts, you may have understood that. But no, everyone had to make their assumptions, and sorry to say, but most of these arguments haven't been very strong at all. More bashing, without facts to back them up.

It is a cool system. Everything outside the hardware is meaningless, except for the fact that it has no games, and the fact that it was expensive at the time. Who cares about how it was made, only care for what it is. Who cares about the company that developed it, only care for what they created.

Okay, maybe the name sucks, but then again, maybe it means something in another language. Maybe it's someone's name, though I couldn't imagine who would have a name like that, but, then again, I've herd far worse names before. For example, the Wii? Even Xbox 360 doesn't make any sense (Xbox Circle???). And what about the Game boy??? I am not playing a boy!! When you think of it, almost all console, and handheld, names don't make much sense. Especially, the Mega Duck. Now that is just weird. But hey, who cares about the name. All a name is, is a sequence of a bunch of letters. That is it. It has no impact on the hardware, or the games.

I am not defending the Gizmondo. I am just stating the fact. The only point I want to make across is, who cares if the handheld, or console, failed, because even though it did not succeed, there is still a lot of enjoyment to be had with it, and its power, usually rivals, or surpasses, the more successful handheld, or console, which is one of the main reasons why it failed, because more power means a higher price, which usually spells disaster, depending on how high the price is, or was.

The Gizmondo failed because it was too powerful, which lead to a higher price. Now that they are much cheaper, that power could be enjoyed.

And why is everyone so angry? Arguments are never meant to be angry. At all. I can change my mind very easily, depending on the facts, I recieve, in arguments. But in this case, all I have been reading was repetitive answers, of things I already knew about, and were even mentioned in my posts. Why is everyone telling me what I already know? And why are the main facts being ignored? I know the Gizmondo was a failre, but it succeded in the hardware, and hardware only.

By the way, if you want to comment to this thread, you may want to do so soon, because I will be shifting all attention to the Nokia N-Gage, another commercial failure. After I buy one, I'll make a Nokia N-Gage thread, and point out its strengths and weaknesses too.

I made the Playstation 3 appear better, as well as the Gizmondo, or at least I tried to, so I will soon be focusing my attention on the Nokia N-Gage.

I never realised how many failures there are.

lol, the CEO went to jail for carrying a gun :P among other things. Umm, yeah, u said earlier that this system wouldnt have been a failure if nintendo made it... most likely because it wouldve come with more than 35 games? :P You can like the Gizmondo, but it was a failure despite what you think. You may have enjoyed playing it, sure, but that doesnt make it a success.

I know it's a failure. I mentioned that myself so many times. Okay, it was a failure. Almost every single console, or portable, or video game out there, is a failure. But, all of them can be enjoyed!

Wow, that's alot of typing just for Gizmondo.

I liked the story of suspect mob connections with the company.

How does everyone know what a Gizmondo is?

If price for a portable system didn't matter, then the Xbox 360 Portable would be a million seller, and stealing the PSP's market
