Answer:

Popularity and well established brand made this possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The conception of the game Tetris was since the 1970s while the Nintendo Gameboy was much later in 1989. The game of tetris gaind popularity for a few reasons

  1. It was linked to a popular/trusted brand. The Nintendo brand was founded in Japan in 1889 as a playing card company. It gained popularity and trust over the years and in 1989, 100 years later the Nintendo Gameboy was invented. By this time there was an established brand and the trust of an audience. So any game added to the Nintendo System would likely be received by the followers.
  2. It gained mainstream attention due to the popularity of the Nintendo Gameboy and was able to spread worldwide.
  3. It was a well made game is the most important reason for it's popularity too. If this game was poorly done there would have been the instance of it being rejected but it was not because of the challenge it presented.

In conclusion, there is no single factor that makes a game successful but a consort of factors that come into play all at once and at the right time.
