Nokia’s Chief Guides Company Amid Technology’s Rough Seas

(sub. req.): Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila on n-Gage: “It is quite interesting to see the sort of skepticism that has greeted our move into mobile gaming. People say: ‘Is Nokia serious?’ They are forgetting that when Sony first launched its PlayStation console, people said: ‘What is this? Sony going into gaming?’ The same wording was used, by different people, when Microsoft launched the Xbox. We are going to be in good company, facing the skeptics. In 2005 we will be able to see what kind of success [the N-Gage] was. You need this Christmas and the next Christmas market. We have only had one device so far, and we will have many more. This is the start.”
