nintendo is the only compony wich has had great succses in the handheld region.The PSP cant even keep up with the ''big N''

what n- gage hit rock bottom?....oh well bake to my DS

yippie! i feel bad for employees though, wasting their time on this crappy handheld.

I would have loved to play all the Crash Bandicoot titles on my PSP,al the new ones are C$%p.I sure wish that this info becomes true in the near future.

this system was doomed before it began, besides software for it sucked. I mean...come on.....they literally had a game called Sticky Balls.....(chuckles)

This thing is never goin to beat the PSP.

YAYYY!!!!!!!!!

duerdest
To honest websites like GAMESPOT didn't help. GS never made an attempt to report on the handheld. It mentioned a few games but no reviews, previews, images etc.

yeh but even if they dead none would pay attention it was obdviously going to fail

who would buy a gizmondo though when you could get a DS?

i agree the handheld market is ruled by nintendo even the psp can't crack it the DS rlz

YOU NEVER KNOW TILL YOU TRY. WELL YOU GUYS TRIED, OH WELL.

I didn't even know they were still making games for the N-gage. I'm sure Nintendo has a bulletin board somewhere in their offices marking each victory: Game Gear, Neo-Geo Pocket, etc.

i only saw one thing for this at e3 2005...and that was it...its a travesty that nobody but microsoft sony and nintendo can make a console and sell it on the market.

I knew this was going to happen. I don't even see the games for sell where I live at. The only place I might see a few is at Gamestop, but that's it.

Man...NINTENDO DS Rules!!!!!!...Nokia,Sony,Atari,Sega.....couldn't or can't (Sony) beat it.

If the n-gage ever hits big tell me before the world is destroyed.

Its only Gizmondo Europe and they are not gone yet. The problem with the Gizmondo is obvously the marketing and that they haven't released the promised games (some actually look good). The Gizmondo is not just a games console its a 'life console'. A $30 investment and you can send emails for free from anywhere within tri-band coverage! I'm also sure you must be able to hack the games as they come on SD cards!! If they pick themselves up of the ground they may be worth buying (Just maybe).

Yah what the hell is that!!!!!!!!!

I have a Gizmondo. It's more comfortable than the DS, and has a very nice graphics engine. Too bad this is the system's fate, Tiger Telematics didn't invest in marketing, so instead of sales; death. I hope that they unlock homebrew soon.

I would just like to say the psp is not a flop, it's selling rate is higher then the gba sp. And also, I feel sorry for those halve of the staff who got laid off. But really, they did a poor job in marketing and they were no good games really.

bye gizmondo

Does anyone actually still own an Ngage? I pawned mine off rather quickly....I'd rather play the demo of bejeweled on my cell phone....

Adrian.

gizmondo. did anyone care?

Ok for one thing going into bankrupsy doesn't always mean a company is closing its door for good, look up Chapter 11 with Kmart or Earthlink for example.

Another thing, Gizmondo Europe is the one filing for bankrupsy not Tiger Telematics nor Gizmondo Studios. So support even if there is little of it can continue for the Gizmondo in the form of new games from Gizmondo Studio or if they can get their act together promoting from Tiger Telematics.

In other words all this means is you will not being seeing the Gizmondo Widescreen anytime soon. Not like any of you care anyway.

"NGAGE exceeds expectations by selling -12 systems today! Ngage is probably a bigger flop than the Virtual Boy. Now THAT'S saying something. Adrian. "

I believe the total is now at 4million...
Now, go post were someone cares. The N-Gage is still alive, and will always be. Nokia already said they were going to continue their support for the platform so stop your flaming of an platform you know nothing about.

NGAGE exceeds expectations by selling -12 systems today!
Ngage is probably a bigger flop than the Virtual Boy. Now THAT'S saying something.

ya thats true the PSP did crack the intendo handheld market but i doubt it will last longer term and this is comin from a PSP fan and player.

like they had a chance

The handheld was great you guys never gave it a chance

gizmondo is just anothing system for game collectors to put up on the self with every thing else. But really, you know a few of you are going to meet a guy in a year or two who owned one and you're going to be like "Wow! Thats kind of cool!"
Don't get me wrong, other then that, it's useless.... then again, so is the PSP and DS... now I am going to get back to Sega's ultimate Hand held, the GameGear (j/k)

All I can say about this is (puts on Nelson Muntz voice), Ha Ha!

That was actually quite obvious, i mean who WOULD buy it?

Gizmondo was dead from the start, in my opinion.
PSP and DS are the best. Get over it, Tiger.
The Gizmondo is ugly too. A big round blob with a small screen and two shoulder buttons that look like the tops of food cans.
And why do I need GPS exactly?
I know my way around where I live well enough, I don't need a mapping system.
What is the SMS message system for? That's why people have mobile phones.

I never knew the thing exsisted.

name 3 games u can get on the gizmondo.....................told u yeh cant get any ive neva seen 1 anywere

Never heard of the Gizmo ? T hat tells you something there, Doesn't it ?

Gizmondo? Whats that?

its a shame really i went into the gismondo in the uk on saturday and had a go on one but halve of them dident have any games on them and the other halve which did have games were rubbish there were also lots of staff with nice t-shirts walking around doing nothing. Tiger really havent tried hard enough...
this also shows that nintendo is unstoppable...

i havent even heard of this gizmondo before

another flop: Gizmondo

I was looking forward to actually trying the stupid thing. It actually looked pretty cool. Oh well.

Why must idiotic Nintendo fanboys always have to some how bash the PSP and other handhelds? I perfect example of such stupidity would be videogamr49. The PSP is, at least, selling decent. Which is still a competion for Nintendo. As for the article, I knew it was going to fail. But you can't bash them for trying.

"To date, only one hanheld platform--the Sony PSP--has had any real success."

...Yeah right...why get a Sony PSP when the Nintendo DS is out there? Also isn't "hanheld" spelt with a "d" after the "n"?

GIZOWNED!

Theer was no hope for them against the likes of ds and psp... Nokia will probberly be next.

In the handheld market everyone loses to Nintendo, even SONY. What did they expect. They announced a widescreen model and it hadn't even launched in the US yet. I wonder how long the PSP and N-Gage are going to last.

I can't say that I didn't see this coming.

Hah, not a big suprise... it's not compare to DS or PSP anyway!

whoops...... they should have known though.

I never even heard of this thing until I read this article and looked it up. I blame poor planning. If you're going to go against the top companies ever to tread gaming history then you need to plan better. Even the name was poorly conceived.
