Why are you Sidetalkin', that's not where the speaker is.
A little bit back some MAME developers responded to my desire for a universe where the Casio Loopy was a runaway success with (completely factual) statements about how it was incredibly underpowered hardware even in its time and obviously a built-to-a-cost minimum-viable-product to make "video games but for girls", and that this makes such a universe unlikely.
But that's my point. A universe where all that is overcome, leaving behind a beloved little purple bit of plastic that plays video games and prints stickers is the kind of universe we must strive for.
Hardware history is loaded with underpowered hardware that wound up unbridled successes
