I don't really think they are competing with Android but maybe apple TV and such. I would say we will see something akin to this at next year's e3 for Sony using Android tablets on the ps3 or maybe even the ps4. This application only works on windows 8 devices right?


THATS the point. 

If Sony were to implement features for Androids. Well it would overshadow what MS is doing for the Xbox right? It will have far more features. 


Fixed it for ya.

A lot of what Nintendo and MS are doing , Sony has already been doing for some time. Granted they havent pushed it like they should so they have lost the window of opportunity. Sony seems to be moving to a more open environment. Making their devices fully Android integrated will hurt MS, Nintendo and Apple. Android has the largest userbase currently in the cellphone and tablet space, a space where MS struggles. Windows 8 is absolutly horrid for an OS as is Windows phone and will not do well making it even more difficult for MS. All Sony needs to do is launch a good console that is easy to dev for and hits a good price point. If they do that and integrate with Android they will kill it.

Win 8 doing bad for a phone? What about the positive reviews of Nokia Lumia 800 and 900? Heck they were doing better than what most people expected.

Anyway.

MS has basically already done that with Xbox Live games available on mobile and tablets. Even more with Xbox Smart Glass. I think that having the playstation intigrated will hurt it self more than it will hurt others. It will cost them ALOT of R&D costs to do what MS has currently done with the Xbox and windows mobile. Money that Sony doesnt have right now. Plus there are more devs that specializes on moblie gaming than a mere "playstation moblie" brand in the android space. Plus Sony would want it to be in Sony Erricson devices ONLY to boost sales of their own brand and not make it available on any other phone models. 

Plus gamers wouldnt want a laggy Android os on a playtation console. Much more so that they risk patent entanglement with google and a potential death blow patent lawsuit coming from MS. 



Yay!!!
