By cross I mean that it had a touch screen and anolog (better). Touch screen like DS and better Anolog than PSP. It also had a better interface than PSP and DS (which already included downloadable ebooks, skins, and other software) and used game cards instead of disks. You could see how it's like a hybrid.

They cancelled it because, to put it short, DS and PSP destroyed it. It simply did not have enough software to garner attention, nor did it have a proper advertising campaign. Not to mention, major stores like Gamestop and EB completely stoped sopporting it when it was no longer getting even class D sales. Quite sad actually. That handheld had some potential.
