Despite CNN’s bashing of the Gizmondo’s US launch, European managing director Carl Freer believes his company is in a great position. In his words:
”...we have a number of other models in development to complement the current device, the game portfolio is growing week-by-week, and the satellite navigation package is creating huge demand that, frankly, is over and above our original projections.”
Freer feels that Gizmondo only needs to represent a “small slice of [of the games industry] to be successful.” The NGage, by comparison, is still around, despite its niche audience. Have we been too harsh on this up-and-coming contender in the portable market?
