Nokia Gives up on N-Gage
Nokia came out and said they are giving up on the N-Gage gaming platform. It only sold 2 million units vs. an expected 6 million. The company will focus on game development for its other phones including the Series 60. Mobile gaming will not be a focus for the company until 2007 when screen sizes and better quality will be available."N-Gage is still being sold but it was not a success in the sense of developing a new category," said Antti Vasara, Nokia's vice president for corporate strategy. "We learnt that people want to play games on all devices. As such we are integrating the gaming software into Series 60 phones."
