Nokia Gives Up on Mobile Gaming System

5:00 am on November 28, 2005 | Category: Mobile Devices

Nokia’s head corporate strategist, Antii Vasara has recently revealed that the company has no plans to create new models of the N-Gage mobile gaming device.

Although it was an ambitious attempt by the company, the N-Gage failed to get much attention from gamers or phone buyers. In the end, this device, which aimed to corner both markets, cornered neither.

In the future, Nokia plans to make mobile gaming just one more component in their selection of entertainment service, and combine it with existing and forthcoming mobile phones.

According to Vasara, “N-Gage is still being sold but it was not a success in the sense of developing a new category… We learnt that people want to play games on all devices. As such we are integrating the gaming software into Series 60 phones.”
