What actually went wrong with the Xperia Play?

The Xperia Play was a device forced on Sony due to their partnership with Ericsson. Sony did not want Ericsson having any part of the PlayStation unit, so they did not give the devices full PlayStation Network support. In fact, they created a whole new store called PlayStation Mobile, which they again, wanted nothing to do with. 

The XP never saw any PS One games, PSP Games, or any SCEWWS games released on it. Even MLB The Show did not come out on the device. It was basically sent out to die. 

Sony has never released a PlayStation Phone through Sony Computer Entertainment Incorperated (SCEI), the company branch that handles all PlayStation products. They need to merge Sony Mobile Comunications Inc. (SMCI) the Xperia division, into SCEI, and diliver a one Sony ecosystem. Right now they are working against each other, and that hurting both division substantially. Sony needs to focus on it's PlayStation OS's, and PlayStation Network services, bringing them above or on par with Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

when you put it like that... it actually makes alot of sense.

I think they should do the same, plus I wanna see what a phone would look like if left in the hands of SCEI, with focus on gameing experiance.
