Reuters reported that during their Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Summit in New York, that John Riccitiello, Electronic Arts President and Chief Operation Officer said that the N-Gage is flawed.
"When I picked that thing up I knew it was a dog -- it just feels stupid," Riccitiello said.
Electronic Arts offers five titles for the unit, but Riccitiello said shipments of the titles have been "non-meaningful." On the bright side, Riccitiello did say that Nokia was one of the best design companies he knew, and that they would someday become a force in the gaming industry. "Nokia will figure it out," he said. "It's just that they haven't figured it out yet.
