The way i see it Sony has two competitors:IPHONE and 3DS..A single device cant possibly compete with both devices at once!!!The reason is simple:IPHONE IPOD TOUCH have cheap games arcade-style,while the 3DS obviously will focus on higher-production games.Now if sony wants to successfully compete with both devices has to come with a 2-way solution: ->PLAYSTATION SERVICE FOR ANDROID:games with psp-like graphics that are cheap and are based on well know ips(call of duty,god of war,etc)...These kind of service will be available not only to playstation phones from sony ericsson but also from other manufacturers(samsung,htc,lg,etc) that meet certain requirements(button-layout,cpu gpu,screen size,etc).Also they dont have to be phones but also netbooks,laptops,tablets,portable media players,televisions,etc based on Android.
->NEXT GENERATION PSP(PSP2):this device wil be the true successor to the psp.it will have its own physical-distributed games based on the high-end hardware found only on PSP2.HOWEVER the device will also be able to play all games from the playstation service for android.
That way Sony will not only bring the playstation experience to mobile phones/other devices and raise playstation brand-awareness but will also create a sucessfull service since the number of devices that will be able to access it will be large,thus not relying on the psp/psp2 and its sales to make it popular.
To speak with numbers psp managed to sell 60mln in 6 years,while android phones devices last year were at 8mln,this year they will surpass the 30mln mark and growth is only on the horizon.!! |
