Nokia believes it can lure consumers away from Sony and Nintendo’s handheld platforms with its next-gen range of mobile phones.

ESATO NEWS

Nokia says that games consumers will be forced to make a choice between its mobiles and with the likes of Sony PSP and Nintendo’s DS.Established publishers and developers have already signed up to produce content for Nokia's Nseries phones and S60 software, which are due for release early next year.

Nokia’s head of games for UK and Ireland Martin O’Driscoll says that that "games consumers will be forced to make a choice between its mobiles, Sony’s PSP and Nintendo’s DS."

He added: “The consumer will have to make a decision: does he wants a standalone gaming device with a limited browsing capability or a phone with an MP3 player, a camera and a bloody good games platform? I think consumers will be prepared to spend £300 on a phone that offers all those different things rather than £100 to £150 for a standalone games machine."

nokia has got some experience with their N-gage line, but still competing with 2 major brands isn't easy, and i think SE is also working on something of their own (unless sony is holding them back), maby SE could revive the ericsson red jade, that would be a great competitor.

This is where I ask myself what the plans of Sony and Ericsson are regarding their baby Sony Ericsson. How about incorporating the handheld psp into SE. Should've been done a while back in my opinion. Looking forward to the developments in this area.

Allow me to rephrase that.

(...)nokia has got some BAD experience with their N-gage line(...)

Flops all the way...

That's a rubbish device IMO. At least with a PSP or DS I don't have to have a phone contract or pay over £200 to get one!! Plus I can't see any claissics like Zelda or Teken EVER appearing on it.
Why can't Nokia get over the fact the N-Gage was a flop?
