US Retailers Cut N-Gage Price

17 days after the system's initial release upon October 7, major American retail chains have already begun offering substantial discounts upon Nokia's N-Gage handheld. one as well as the other the GameStop and Electronics Boutique chains are now selling the cellular phone/game player hybrid online for $199 $100 not upon its suggested retail price.


GameStop's present is for a "limited time only" on the other hand it's not clear how limited that time may be. EB's tender makes no mention of a limited time, although it requires the harmonizing purchase of a T-Mobile phone service contract.


After the system's disappointing first attempt at American retailers -- research firm Arcadia Research reports that the N-Gage mov les than 5000 units into consumers' hands in its first week of release -- many bystanders predicted sharp price cuts in short order.


Nokia itself has highly touted a figure of "400000 units sold" worldwide in the N-Gage's first sum of two units weeks of release, but its language is misleading in that words immediately preceding [i]or[/i] following By "sold," it means "sold in to retailers," rather than "sold end to consumers" -- the mete "shipped" is usually used instead of "sold" to describe those figures. Nokia has nevertheless to release hard sell-through figures of its have a title to pertaining to any territory, preferring to tout the N-Gage's ostensible sales succes in subjective metes




EB and GameStop's price-cut impels offer a clue as to what might be behind that face of optimism, however. Specialty game retailers are cutting the N-Gage's price of their possess volition -- the Target big-box chain, by the agency of comparison, is sticking to Nokia's original allude toed retail price of $299.


Where the specialty market goe however, the mainstream market must necessarily tread on the heels of so we expect to diocese further discounting of Nokia's handheld in the coming days.
