Nokia will close its Gage mobile gaming service

The November 2 News, according to foreign media reports, Nokia will close its severely battered gaming service next year Gage and admits its first large service product failed. As the traditional handset market is ripe, Nokia is looking for new sources of revenue. Games and music are the preferred areas of focus. However, Nokia's efforts to promote mobile gaming have come under major adjustment, with consumers initially unwilling to buy the proprietary gaming handsets that Nokia launched in October 2003.　　Nokia launched a massive advertising campaign around the world when it released the game phone.　　Nokia launched its online gaming service last year to replace the Gage brand, but the game service has never gone beyond the boundaries of game users. ' We will no longer release new games for the Gage platform, ' Nokia said in its Gage blog. Nokia said its first important service in the game product could still be purchased before the end of September 2010.　　This community site will remain operational throughout the 2010. ' This is a more realistic approach, ' said Tero Kuittinen, an analyst at MKM. Now is the time to bury the dead and focus on the future.　　He added that Nokia has great opportunities in other areas, such as location-based services and mobile email.　　After shutting down the gage service, Nokia will continue to sell mobile games through its Ovi store.
