Tell that to the people who bought a Game Gear, a Virtual Boy, a Zodiac, a Gizmondo or a GP32.
Or Gameboy Color, which was replaced by Gameboy Advance 2 years after its release.
Funny you should bring up these systems. Most of them were destroyed by graphically inferior machines. The GameGear lost to a Black and White machine. The GBC is actually an extension of the GB line and the GBC lasted 3 years with massive support and tons of games.
