Yes N-Gage platform will be good for the mobile games industry and Nokia in particular, yes it is handy having a few games on your handset to pass the time. But for dedicated gamers not even one would agree that mobile gaming is "better" than normal gaming. Simpler and quicker perhaps, but better? I would have to disagree. The gaming scene is full of gamers, and are dedicated to gaming, there is obviously a transition between the gamers and mobile enthusiasts and me being one would not agree that mobile gaming is better than the actual games console gaming experience. The mobile platform is limited and is not a viable way of spending time playing real games, sure I can't take it wherever I go, but that's not what console gaming is about, mobile gaming on the other hand is. Both platforms have their pros and cons, but mobile gaming cannot be considered better in anyway other than being mobile. I can see your point there, but I do think you are plucking at straws.
