As a data scientist who grew up obsessed with video games, this stat is pure gold: the OG Game Boy, released in 1989, is still the 4th best-selling console ever, with nearly 120 million units sold. https://lnkd.in/g2zikFVe Here's what made this brick of a device so magical: "Lateral thinking with withered technology": A philosophy by designer Gunpei Yokoi that championed using simpler tech to create engaging experiences. This resulted in the Game Boy's long battery life and iconic durability. Simplicity is key: Four buttons and a directional pad - that's all you needed to embark on epic adventures. The user-friendly design made gaming accessible for a whole new generation. A portal to countless worlds: From Tetris to Pokemon, the Game Boy offered a vast library of games that sparked imaginations and fueled countless hours of fun. The Game Boy's legacy is a reminder that the best technology isn't always about the most advanced specs, but rather the experiences it creates.
