To be fair. Gizmondo and Game.com were designed to be actual contenders. They just failed miserably at being one. This thing is designed to be a novelty for a 20/30 somethingdude who isn't really into gaming anymore but this is an amusing device for them or gagdet people but not really into gaming anymore outside of nostalgia.
Game.com and Gizmondo were calling out the Gameboy/DS directly. Esp Game.com TV ads.
Gizmondo. Well Mafia man crashed his ferrari and split it in half and was arrested for other legal problems lol. Oh and Game.com and Gizmondo were not the same company despite a similar name in Tiger Electronics vs Tiger Telematics.
