Nokia's attempt to penetrate the handheld gaming sector has been the cause of some
ridicule, but with a subsequent redesign and even a
notable title, it comes as little surprise that Nokia
considers the N-Gage a disappointment. Nokia sold only 2 million units in three years, far short of the projections of
6 million units. They have announced they will not be building any new versions of the phone and will hold off on their
mobile gaming initiative to concentrate on mobile music and television. While the N-Gage will continue in other markets
like China and India, Nokia will continue with other gaming plans: "We learnt that people want to play games on all
devices. As such we are integrating the gaming software into Series 60 phones."
