Back in 1996 after looking at how Sega Master System failed in America when compared to Europe, and looking at the reluctant sales of the Sega 32X & Saturn & basic lack of any sort of hype for the Dreamcast I held a presentation about the subject ( boring half the class to either yawning or looking outside at passing cars, while there were like 3 interested people, including the teacher, which scored me a pretty grade it did ). I think I ended it with me making a blind jab at the future stating something like "I think that the future of gaming on dedicated machines relies more in the hand-held portable market than it does on machines that you must hook up to your TV." ( I should have those overhead-projector slides somewhere I think ). We all know what happned though, Nintendo already had the home-team advantage since it was outselling the Game-Gear about 4 to 1, and a year later the Game Boy Color was anounced. Ofcourse I got one :D"}
