Nokia - N-GageNokia Plans to Redesign N-Gage
Amid poor sales and increasing competition from rivals Sony and Nintendo, Nokia is continuing to work on new designs for its N-Gage video gaming cell phone. Cutting prices to spur sales growth in the US, the company has suffered slow sales amid strong criticism from the gaming community.
"We're looking at new colors, a new look and feel for the QD in the next few months," said Gerard Wiener, director and general manager of the games business program at Nokia.
Wiener also mentioned Nokia was planning to redesign the N-Gage for a future release, as the company attempts to fight strong veterans in the ever-saturating industry of mobile gaming.
Some of the changes planned include faster and better wireless networks. Much of the N-Gage's strengths are in its GSM wireless networking platform. However in the States, CDMA dominates.
"There's no question addressing the CDMA market is something we'd like to be doing," Wiener said, but "The jury is still out."
"I think the breadth and scope of our retail offer was not what it needed to be to gain traction, especially in the United States." In future, he said, Nokia would work for tighter sales integration with the carriers. "The timing is right for us to be pushing a little harder on the operator channel."
The Nokia N-Gage brings the start of a whole new gaming experience to the market, with an ergonomic design optimized for playing games. Rich mobile games, combined with connected near distance multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth and wide area gaming using cellular networks, opens the door for totally new gaming concepts. Mobility will add a whole new dimension to innovative and creative games concepts and will provide opportunities for the games and telecom industry alike. |
