There is no way they should move away from Android. They would have to invest a lot of money to develop their own OS, and spend lots more on trying to convince developers to makes apps for their app store. Even Microsoft with all of their money and clout is having a very hard time getting any market share with Windows phones.
Making a "gaming" phone is also a horrible idea. Outside of the people on these forums, no one would care for that. To prove my point, the 3DS has sold 54 million units in about 3.5 years. Apple has sold 47 million phones in the last 3 months (that's 0.25 years). Obviously the dedicated phone market is a much better market to compete in. Their phones already support Playstation Now and Remote Play (in addition to all of the Android games), which is good enough in my opinion.
Sony needs to reach out to all of the national carriers, and make them deals that they cannot refuse, so that they carry the Sony line (although this should be done without selling the phones at a loss).
I think they make great devices, and they need to find a way to get them into customers hands. I am sure that most people who try them out would switch on their next hardware upgrade cycle.
