Agreed with MCA. I got the GB Micro on clearance for almost nothing, and i still play it because game boy games are great and the thing is tiny! its smaller than a candybar, and has a higher-quality screen than the GBA SP had. It does require holding a little bit differently but my big-handed friend have never even had a problem with it.... and everyone who sees me playing it asks "that's so cool where'd you get it?" well, they were available everwhere a few years ago but nobody wanted them then!
I bought a Micro on eBay a year or so ago for 20 or 30 dollars (I forget which); it's actually really convenient and nice. Only problem is it scratches too easily. Perfect if you're going to be carrying around a flash cart and nothing else though.
Yeah I remember it pretty well, it seemed so obscure I didn't even know anyone else knew about it or even considered it an actual console. For those that don't know the graphics are basically one of these:
but the image is reflected onto a mirror/visor that hangs like 2" in front of your eyeball. I couldn't use it for more than 5 minutes before I got a headache.

The 3rd page is just a list of image sources. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Gameboy Micro shouldn't be on this list.
It was the last update to the a very, very, very successful platform = the Gameboy Advance.
And the collectively, the Gameboy Advance category sold MILLIONS.

Apple+Gaming= Something that still hasn't succeeded

Tiger R-Zone.. the Christmas that almost was but then wasn't.

Bonus points for not including the typical contenders like Virtual Boy

Buried for a 3rd page of nothing.

"…there weren’t any games, and what games were available happened to be ports."

Tiger's Game.com should have made the list.

No. But PC gaming isn't much outside of those 2 companies to begin with.

"The Game Boy Micro was so popular a lot of stores just pretended it didn’t exist, "
Wait, did they mean unpopular? Or is that correct, and stores hid it because it ate at the more expensive DS system and games?

The Sony PSP Go. You can't buy UMD games for it, you have to download them. It's already failed because of that fatal flaw.

Good god man, have you missed the whole iPhone/App Store thing?
Apple is suddenly in gaming big time.

The Sega Nomad was awesome on long trips if you brought a s**tload of batteries.

I'm glad they didn't mention the Dreamcast. That was a promising prince, poisoned ere his reign.
