Affordability my Friend Affordability

True True.

But who could afford backlit lights back then? The technology was just too advanced for it's time, unfortunately for the consumers. If I remember correctly Mike De Lasota had the Lynx matrix console and it was about 200 bucks. The technology is now so affordable that the stupid shrewd businessmen at gameboy can price the units within 60-80 dollars, a successful price strategy gameboy has always enjoyed. Blame it on Ford!
