I need a PlayStation Phone

I have been saying this for years!! It's so frustrating! Since before Android existed, back in the PSP days I was saying it. When there were rumours just before the announcement the PSPgo I was like, finally! But it wasn't a new system at all.

Vita definitely should've merged mobile and game support at launch. When will they learn that people don't want to carry around two different devices that can easily serve the same purpose! Why go with a lower resolution, lower powered device, when you can just buy one device for both need? This would've been so much easier for them if they started doing this before Android was a necessity.

I guess they're not very serious about using their experience with games, and their position in the mobile market to gain advantage in both areas. If phones had the power of PlayStation built in, I think they could seriously compete with Nintendo portable devices. Playstation is the one that needs to go mobile. I don't understand why everyone is screaming for Nintendo to go mobile when they don't even have any experience in that market, and love making their own unique devices with fun features.

So much truth here. I know the Ericsson partnership is the reason we never saw a PSP with phone capabilities, but with the Vita there is no excuse.

When Sony bought out the mobile division 2012, I was sure they would have a PlayStation Phone out within a year, but instead they went with the me too Xperia Z series. Now they have a mountain to climb if they ever want to gain any ground in the mobile industry. PlayStation is the only answer to ever coming back to any sort of relevance in the mobile market. Xperia is a dieing brand, and it is going to continue to loose sales and increases losses until they either sell it, or merge it into PlayStation. 

As I have said so many times before, it is absolutly illogical to be pushing the PlayStation OS and PlayStation Store at home, while pushing android and google play on the road, or worse releasing stuff like PS Vue and PS Now for amazon or apple before either of their own platforms. Sony needs to focus the company on one ecosystem, and build the idea that if you own a Sony/PlayStation device it will work seamlessly within the Sony ecosystem.
