Nokia To Keep N-Gage Store–For Now

Nokia has said that it will keep its N-Gage store for the time being, even though “Our goal in the medium term is really to converge everything into a single distribution channel,” Marco Argenti, Vice President for Media, told Reuters. The Ovi App Store will sell mass market games, with the N-Gage service being kept separate for hard-core gamers. This makes sense — even if N-Gage wasn’t as successful as Nokia had hoped, it doesn’t want to annoy those customers who are using it, who probably buy high-end handsets and tend to stick with Nokia (NYSE: NOK). If and when it is rolled in it should happen in a way that doesn’t lose customers.

The same attitude is taken towards music: Nokia
