CollectorVision Phoenix Kickstarter – What the Hell Happened?

Carl Williams writes, "On November 7th, 2018, the CollectorVision Phoenix console ended its Kickstarter campaign without reaching its goal of $230,000 in backing. On paper the Phoenix looked like a shoe-in for getting funded on the platform that pushed nearly $9 million towards the Ouya console. While the Ouya is the high watermark that no console campaign has come near since, there have been other consoles, hand helds, etc successfully funded on Kickstarter since that magic beast came through and put millions of eyes on crowdfunding. The CollectorVision Phoenix though, something kept it back from its funding goal. I am going to do my best to answer “why” here in this article."
