N-Gage Never Challenged Gameboy

games gameboy handheld Nintendo has kept very tight marketing focus on the Gameboy line, so it's difficult for challengers to take market share.

For those not familiar with gaming platforms, the N-Gage was Nokia's doomed attempt to introduce a GameBoy competitor. The original device sported an MP3 player, an FM tuner, a game deck, and an integrated Nokia Series 60 cell phone. The device was marketed as a gaming device and flopped miserably. I suspect that the platform's failure was largely due to having a poor library of games and Nokia not being known as a game company.
