they could if the direction they changed to is not what some are expecting:
Let’s face it: no one was all the impressed with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. No multi-touch, Android 1.6, and interface issues all seemed to add up to an all around sad Android from SE. Then again, apparently no one in Japan reads Android blogs, as Barclay Capital is reporting that the X10 — known simply as the Xperia in the Land of the Rising Sun — has become the fastest selling smartphone on the Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo. The X10 racked up an impressive 120,000 handsets sold in the first three weeks after its April launch.
This sales rate topped an unspecified HTC Android phone that only moved 80,000 units in the 10 months since its launch on DoCoMo, and even bested the figures of the 32GB iPhone 3GS (though we will assume it didn’t quite overtake the combined sales with the 16GB model).
Regardless, the X10 is in high-demand, with its first few shipments selling out quickly and more on the way. Now just imagine if Sony Ericsson released a killer Android 2.1+ device in the Japanese market…sheer pandemonium!

Playstation portable new direction?[ ]
I think its a very strong trend that this may be the "new psp2"

Price?
1. Its primary focus a phone, somethign pretty much everyone must have.
2. Its price is subsidised by the carrier like all smartphones, thus making it far more attractive.
I really don't see how this compares to my arguement you quoted.

the point is why must there be a "playstation portable 2"?
the point is everyone want's to see how sony is going to cope with the market against apple and Nintendo. being the main one's everyone in the Media seem's to harken about what is sony going to do.
at
this point would it be wise to keep trying to compete on a hardware by hardware basis or keep what you have on the market right now and move the PSP platform to not just a dedicated hardware device but on multiple hardware device's ..
like a smartphone!
the Xperia10 connext's to the PS3 soon their software stack the PSN for download of Playstation portable game's on those smartphone's which Sony is using Android as the OS and put the xmb Running alongside the Android OS could be exactly how they are going to change the PSP platform.
smartphones sell just fine with software download app's only. PSN will allow them to sell more app's to those Smartphone's
I AM BOLO
100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...
