The main problem is that the market Sony are finding themselves is getting smaller by the year. The premium/luxury mobile phone market is first and foremost split between Android and iOS, it looks like iOS is making more inroads into eating into that market more than Android is at the moment. Whatever marketshare is left is split between Android manufacturers who provide phones classed at premium. That is getting more populated with the push in from other manufacturers that werent around a few years ago. Hence there is less going around. I don't think it will be long before we have a handful of manufacturers in the Android space as there just isn't enough money being made. Maybe Sony should partner with Google for their next Nexus phone or move to Windows. |
^ god no.
Stick with android, and just compete on design.
But not for luxury feel ect, make it a gameing smart phone.
The "natural" progression of where handhelds (like the 3DS/Vita) future lays.
