Less Than 5,000 N-Gages Sold in U.S.

Independent research firm, Arcadia Research, is reporting that 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.

Nokia has declined to comment on these stats and has failed to issue its own launch week sales report.

For sake of comparison, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance sold over 540,000 units during its first week of release in the U.S.

Gamespy has done a little undercover research into the whole N-Gage non-selling phenomenon.

On a side note, the EB I was at the other day when I picked up Clock Tower 3 and SSX 3 said they'd only sold two N-Gages themselves. Not that I blame anyone for not wanting it. It's a $450 crappy cell phone with crappy games to play on it.
