most profit per phone =/= most profit from phone sales so this doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of android sales with the likes of Samsung selling more phones in general.

You are correct it does not matter in that point, but making a smartphone based on how a game console is done in the market for the smartphone market is or would allow Sony to carve out a well defined niche in instead of trying to sell you a refreshed phone every year.

 

Sony could make a PlayStation smartphone that instead of the idea of the smartphone being the next big thing , instead is making the software that goes on to that phone is the next big thing!

Many smart phones hardware goes untapped. For software builds , because you turn around a new phone is released so fast they make software for over all smartphone hardware instead of taking real advantage of the hardware as they could.

No point making a playstation phone, they'd make more money making games with the Vulkan API in the future that are available to all future devices and make more money, they'd be smarter to have OTG type connection for the PS4 controller for games on phones and have the games scale based on hardware instead.
