>It was a premium product for a premium market.
that was the image portrayed in advertising the console early on but very few people bought one. the reality was people associated neogeo with an arcade machine they saw in arcades, fast food joints, malls, the least premium places to be at. and it's not like you could walk into any electronics retailer and buy a neogeo console.. maybe if you lived in japan? anyway. yeah, tough sell.
>it only sold ~1m units
unsurprising

successful for a time but that time had ended. neogeo sat on their hands and did nothing for years while the 3d revolution happened around them. they poured money into handhelds competing against gameboy and tried to catch up in the arcade space with the neogeo64 that very few bought and went bust. so much winning.
