They dug their own grave with that.

There's been a ton of different things that get attention in the game industry recently. For example, we have the employees of Techmo (All 300, the people that made Ninja Gaiden) are suing the company. For what? For not compensating for overtime.

What else has happened? Try the release of Virtual Boy. So, what has happened in the industry that just seemed like one more foot in the grave? We're also looking for stuff that may have been avoidable, like pretty much everyone who made a handheld system to compete with Nintendo's first Gameboy.

Since no one has come up with somthing yet, I'll start off. Does everyone remember the N-Gage, the handheld that was supposedly going to defeat the Gameboy Advance?

[Muse]

Haha yeah I remember the N-Gage. N-Gage blows. It looked ridiculous when you were using it for phoning purposses xD

[quietchat]

I never actually handled one. I heard that you actually had to take the freaking battery out to change the game. So, not only did is suffer asthetically, but it allso failed in design.

Okay, let's go to the next dooming. Was it a mistake for Sega to release the Dreamcast as early as they did? Should they have just given up after the flops that were the Genisis add-ons?

Yea, realeasing the Dreamcast basicly sealed their fate and dug them selves a deeper hole.

We can't forget though that they gained more jobs and more earnings as a third party company instead of a 1st party, correct?
