Citing cost and quality as two major concerns, one analyst firm says mobile gaming on cell phones in the US has stagnated. The BBC writes: "M:Metrics say that in March this year 2.7% of US cell phone subscribers downloaded games, compared to 4.2% in the UK. Less then 1% of new subscribers tried games, and most did not go back for more."The article continues with an acknowledgment from Nokia about the lackluster user experience. "We can't be in a situation where in any particular case 30% of the people downloading mobile phone games aren't getting it, or it doesn't work, or they're dissatisfied," said Nokia spokesman Greg Sauter. Keep in mind that EA recently bought Jamdat, a mobile games publisher, for $700 million. So unless the Madden maker does something to revitalize the US phone game market, analyst opinions of the overpriced buy-out might be dead on.
