In Nokia's defense, how can this device be a failure if it has the support of some of the top publishers in the business ? A lot of people are crying about having to remove the battery to change out a game, and while that can be a little cumbersome anyone who can not do it has to be either dense of just plan stupid. I agree it may not be practical to have to remove the battery but the designers of the N-Gage explained why the choose that method and from an engineering stand point it makes sense in some situations. If they would have used an external card slot the N-Gage would have been thicker and it would have weighed a hell of a lot more and nobody wants to carry around a heavy handheld. The N-Gage launch titles are anything but great and come to think of it they are medicore at best. The multiplayer is what is going to sell the N-Gage and N-Gage Arena is already more popular then Nokia have hoped it would be. The casual gamers are going to eat N-Gage up for breakfast and the N-Gage is going to sell well among casual gamers, however on the other hand hardcore gamers are not going to be as willing to even touch the N-Gage. A lot of gamers today are casual gamers and that is just the way that the industry seems to be heading whether hardcore gamers like it or not. I love what Nokia is trying to pull off what an all in one device and I wish them luck with their N-Gage system. I know the N-Gage has it share of problems and the lauch titles for the N-Gage are nothing to smile about, although I feel that Nokia can turn things around. Whether gamers love or hate the N-Gage gamers have to give Nokia credit for trying and like it or not, believe it or not this device will change the industry.
