N-Gage First Week Sales Described As "Dismal"

With a launch party every other week throughout the past year, and millions upon millions of advertising dollars, you would think that Nokia probably hoped for better sales of the new N-Gage in their first week of availability. The report isn’t necessarily reflective of actual sales, as it only covers sales in game stores, and not in mobile phone stores – but it appears the system wasn’t a huge hit with gamers, as only 500 were sold in the first week from those locations.
