Very true. I remember all my friends had #Nintendo Game Boys but I thought it was lame. I had a #Sega Game Gear which was a thousand times better. Still have it somewhere too. But Game Boys stuck around and had new and better iterations. Game Gears disappeared shortly there after. And of course we know Sega got out of the hardware business all together.
Excellent points in this article. And I like your #Nintendo vs. #Sega analogy but you compared Apples to Oranges. Gameboy was a portable handheld. Dreamcast was a console system. A better comparison would be how Sega's 16GB Genesis was better than Ninendo's 8bit NES system or how their full color GameGear portable was better than Ninendo's black and white dinky Gameboy. But like VHS and Beta, Nintendo won out.
