I think it would have been a struggle to brand it, ""playstation phone" wouldn't work IMO. They tested the waters with Xperia Play but its one of those things where you can't go in have hearted. Xperia Play was a weak phone, with no real gaming credentials other then a few PS1 titles and undesirable as a device full stop.
Its something that should have been done before the end of the decade really. I still thinks theres potential for it in Japan, especially with streaming becoming a thing
