killamch89 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 The Nokia N-Gage is often remembered for its odd design and the mix of phone and gaming features, which led to its failure. But what if Nokia had focused purely on gaming, without trying to merge it with a mobile phone? Could it have found success as a handheld console in the early 2000s, competing with devices like the Game Boy Advance and the PSP? Or was the market just not ready for a dedicated portable gaming system at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If Nokia had focused solely on gaming, the N-Gage might have had more success. The market was ripe for dedicated handhelds like the Game Boy Advance and PSP. However, strong competition and consumer preferences ultimately shaped the outcome.

However, success would still have depended on consumer acceptance and market trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
