Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone?

[wraggster]

According to Engadget, John Koller, Sony's head of PlayStation marketing, recently said that 'Apple's entrance into the portable gaming space has been a net positive for Sony. When people want a deeper, richer console, they start playing on a PSP.' What's odd though is that everyone knows that the mobile phone gaming market is a huge and yet neither Sony nor Nintendo has made a gaming phone yet. Recombu.com thinks that Nokia could enter the space with PSP-like devices and it has come up with a concept phone called the Ovi Orion, which would bridge the gap between phone and console, 'If the iPhone is Wii, then Ovi Orion would be Xbox and offer Xbox Live style features. A serious gaming phone for serious gamers.

Because the N-gage failed so bad everything since has had to compromise features so they don't just fit a narrow market of dedicated gamers.

The phone's actually not that bad considering the best competition in 2003 was the GBA which only really played SNES level games, when the N-gage was porting Ps1 games like Tomb raider and Colin Mcrae, Nokia just didn't have a clue how to run it, even the N-gage 2.0 virtual game platform is now dead and goes offline this year.
