Sales and Competition
The R-Zone did not see much success in sales. With other successful and popular handhelds (such as the Game Boy and Game Gear), the R-Zone was often overlooked. Games did not allow users to save their data, link to other gamers, adjust audio levels, play a true variety of games, or connect accessories/peripherals (whereas other handheld consoles in the market did).

Famous quotes containing the words sales and/or competition:
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
