Quote:So you're ignoring Sega, who pretty had the American market sewn up lock stock and barrel at one point?
Nintendo dominated the video game market from 1985 to 1996, except for a brief two year stint starting in 1991 where Sega had a slight lead with 55% of the market share. So I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree that Sega had the American market "sewn up lock stock and barrel at one point."
Quote:Try again please. Essentially losers in the handheld war, but far from not being "real" competition.
So the Gameboy beat GameGear, a handheld with basically no games (compare the GameGear title list and the Gameboy title list), and two other handhelds I don't remember ever seeing before in my life? Color me unimpressed.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
