In mid-2006, all Gamekey development was stopped and products were no longer marketed for it.
Sadly, the sales numbers were still insufficient to justify developing additional games. The Stand-Alone pack would not include anything but the system, the Super GameKey Combo Pack, would include one GameKey, the Super Value Gamekey Mega Pack would include 2 Gamekey while the Super Value Power Pack would include one Gamekey and a power supply. It was then decided to pack-in some of the GameKey in certain packages. And as they turn out to sell less than expected, merchants were not keen to let these consoles take shelves space. The systems were not selling and the Gamekeys were selling even less.
