Quoted from Rarehero:I wonder if Jpop had anything to do with killing Zizzle?
Wouldn't think so. The hurdle Zizzle faced is it was made for the toy market rather than commercial electronics. Vastly different rules in play with the manufacturer assuming the responsibility for unsold inventory (so they reskin the same product and put it out again). High volume is a necessity as the markup is that much lower and the chainstore distributors dictate the terms. Even Nintendo lost millions this way by marketing the Game & Watch as a 'toy'.
