Succesfull? I would say no.. giving your son or daughter a psp is something entirly different then a psp with a phone contract, heck it would even be a phone contract with internet... Sony's target audience would get smaller.. you can't even get a phone contract in the Netherlands when you're younger then 18.. how's that in other countries?

They could just avoid the 3DS all together this way and hop into the growing Smart Phone gaming market.

That market is also why I think Nintendo felt the need to release the 3DS when the DS is still selling tons.

 

I would always deny that the market there was significant, but it really is growing and I always see people gaming on their phones now.

 

As for your issue, they could also have a version of it available without phone capabilities, just like the iPod touch can play the same games as the iPhone. You would only need a Wifi connection to access the marketplace.
