I’ll simply quote Blake Snow’s adequate summary of the Gizmondo when it was awarded the honor of being the number one worst-selling handheld of all time. (Read about the other nine at GamePro.com in a featured article titled, “The 10 Worst-Selling Handhelds of All Time”.)

Tiger Telematics Gizmondo Blake writes, “Oh, the Gizmondo! Where to begin with this Euro trash? For the sake of time let’s just summarize the mediocrity. The handheld was released in 2005 with two versions; a $400 ad-free unit and a $229 ad-supported unit. Only eight of the 14 planned games were ever released because the Gizmondo was never about launching a viable gaming machine; rather it was a front for company president Stefan Eriksson to sucker (ahem, bully) investors for money, throw a year long party, spend exorbitant amounts of cash, and bifurcate Ferrari Enzos in southern California before getting arrested for Swedish mob ties then going bankrupt a year later. Utter incompetence. Top handheld failure.”

What more is there to say?
