Playstation Mobile on its way?
Sony are reported to be working on a brand new mobile phone within the PlayStation brand. This would be a joint effort between PlayStation and Sony Ericsson.
This phone will bring a brand new videogame console to the mobile phone market and an official Sony in Japan has been reported as stating that Sony are planning this device to take full advantage of the handheld gaming market.
Given Nokia’s failures with the N-Gage and a difficulty in launching the N-Ggage application platform, this would seem to be a brave move on behalf of Sony, but the PlayStation brand is very, very strong, so it may suceed, where Nokia have failed. The market is potentially very big and the potential rewards could be hugh.
In addition to competition for Nokia’s N-Gage the PlayStation phone would seem to be a direct competitor for must have gadgets such as the iPhone but it would still seem that this device is a long way from launching.
