N-Gage Future in Doubt?

Posted by Zonk on from the wouldnt'-surprise-me dept.

srashdotu writes "The Inquirer is reporting rumors that the plug will be pulled on the N-Gage due to the complete closure of the Nokia's Germany production facility by Q1 2006. Nokia has refuted this, however, claiming "We're looking at the strongest line-up of games yet for N-Gage. There's been so much money and effort poured into the system we're not going to pull out now."." Given recent events it is not hard to imagine this being true, though.

    Phones get outdated much too quickly for the N-Gage to stay attractive long enough to create a market. Quite frankly ive never been interested in buying one, its big , unhandy and there are much cooler phones out there. Now the gameplay might not be bad, i never tried it so i wouldn't know, i think the problem was that there never was a market for such a gadget.
