Ten handhelds that suffered a fate far worse than ours


We're pretty sure that no one calls the PSP a failure anymore. In fact, over the past few months, as more and more games release on our handheld, we've seen less and less flame comments from rabid DS fans -- maybe they realized that two handhelds can happily coexist?

Courtesy of GamePro, here's a list of the ten worst selling handhelds of all time. Thankfully, Sony's PSP is nowhere close to being on the list:
  • Gizmondo (<25,000 sold)
  • Zodiac (<200,000)
  • Game.com (<300,000)
  • Lynx (<500,000)
  • Nomad (1 million)
  • NEC Turbo Express (1.5 million)
  • Neo-Geo Pocket (2 million)
  • GBA Micro (2.5 million)
  • N-Gage (3 million)
  • Game Gear (11 million)
PSP has sold at least twice the amount of the Game Gear, and with the redesign coming out later this year, the system will sell plenty more. (Too bad the Neo-Geo Pocket didn't do as well ...)
