Whoa, long post scare Smashchu. But, I guess this would the time to say it. When compaired to the DS everything is going to be considered a failure. Well, most everything. But I think the best well to tell is how much of a profit it churns. I mean, how else can you tell. If you walked away with a dollar, you did something, 100$ is better. Making money I beleive is where success lies. I feeel Gizmo is a failure in that sence. The comppany bankrupted. It wasn't the fault of the system, but rather the company's.

I agree with the first line ;) I think there's different levels of success and different levels of failure. Not just you fail or you succeed. You keep saying successors, but the GP2X came out after the DS, so technically the GP2X is the DS's successor, even though I only use that term when speaking about products coming out for the same company. I never thought the GP2X was too expensive, yeah it hardly has any commercial games(although it never was intended to) but I'm sure if a Final Fantasy came out for it, it would helps sales, if thats what you're getting at and I'm not sure how much the Giz cost in the beginning. I remember 300 dollars? Without those dumb Smart Ads. I'm not sure, it was awhile ago. That's all I'd like to say about that. I shouldn't even be on here at work!!! :P

Oh crap, you're right. Shit. Okay, when I wrote "successors" in all of my posts in this thread, I meant the consoles, and handhelds, that sold more, not the newer consoles, and handhelds. Okay, just wanted to make that clear.
