N-Gage Here To Stay?

Joystiq has commentary on the possibility that Nokia plans to keep the N-Gage around for the forseeable future. We've previously discussed the waning N-Gage market impact, but with statements like "Our approach to this is, let's continue to take what we've learned, what we've done right, and where we need to make corrections, and that's in retail, in games development and in the deck itself...", it's possible that Nokia plans to try another iteration of the cell phone/game deck.

Nintendo and Sony aren't the competition...

...Other cell phone manufacturers are. Nokia never thought they could beat the Game Boy... They're just doing their part to keep up in the race to develop features. The R&D spent on the N-Gage is far from a waste. Eventually the engine will be absorbed into other phones in the Nokia line, and games will be downloaded like ring tones.
