"Nokia's N-Gage sold less than 5,000 units across the entire United States during its first week of release. This extremely low figure accounts for both videogame retailers and cellular huts... For sake of comparison, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance sold over 540,000 units during its first week of release in the U.S."

22 Oct 2003 13:10 ArkLancerVII Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	This is probably the same thing the PSP will do. But the PSP is by Sony, so a few more people will buy it. A few more.
22 Oct 2003 13:52 darkchrono Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	If the PSP is within a reasonable price range, id buy it.
22 Oct 2003 14:01 ArkLancerVII Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	300 greens sound good?
22 Oct 2003 16:53 spikethethird2 Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	Yes it is for Sony. Therefore a LOT more people will buy it. (rich ones) I can tell you aren't a fan of Sony, but they have definatly flourished in the gaming industry and will most likely do quite well with it's PSP.

23 Oct 2003 11:05 darkchrono Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	so... that means a crap load more sold within the second week? (didn't have time to read the article you linked).

23 Oct 2003 13:42 ArkLancerVII Vapid Buttmunch offline \| PM \| e-mail	And Spike, acually, my video game company loyalties are definatly with the big Sony. I even still buy PS1 games. And I also still play FFT even after beating it over a year ago.

24 Oct 2003 09:42 staff Matt Vapid-in-Chief online \| PM \| e-mail	just for clarity, The 400,000 units are worldwide sales. further, said units were units shipped and sold to retailers, not units sold to consumers.
