Nokia says gaming service take-up growing
The take-up of Nokia's N-Gage gaming service has accelerated since the top cell phone maker has started to pre-install it in new mid- and higher-end phone models, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
Nokia's mobile gaming push has encountered major challenges over the years, with consumers shunning its dedicated gaming phones, and with its new online gaming service, opened last year, yet to move beyond a niche audience.
Nokia has not unveiled user numbers for its gaming service, but the spokesman said almost 1 million players have created personal profiles on the N-Gage community pages.
