Soon after suggesting that American gamers who can't wait to get their hands on an N-Gage QD
turn to Canadian stores, we received some bad news from a
Canadian tipster. It seems that you'll be hard pressed to find a QD north of the border as well, with our source
revealing that no major retailers, other than the cellphone carriers and EB (both of whom Nokia can hold hostage), are
interested in selling the N-Gage successor. Apparently with the Nintendo DS and Playstation Portable looming on the
horizon, retailers are hesitant to carry a game machine without any big name game backing. Without the draw of Sega,
Midway, EA or another big name in the game industry, the QD, and possibly the whole N-Gage line might be doomed to warm
the bench for the big boys.
