So even if the smartphone part is folded into playstation and they sell a single model of smartphone and make PlayStation smartphone game's on iOS & AndroudOS and its all under the same PlayStation subsidiary.. You think it would be a disaster.. Even if its smartphone is sold @ a profit?

It seems to me if your going to make games for smartphone's now..what difference would it make if you made one yourself to put out there to sell. If its being sold for profit right off the bat.

 

I mean Amazon has a fire stick. But released Software services on other device's.. Should Amazon stop making hardware just because Apple sell more hardware?

I thought you meant a Playstation gaming phone? Or do you literally just mean change the branding of Xperia phones to "Playstation phones"? Either way, I think it's a bad move. While the Playstation brand is a bigger brand than Xperia overall, that doesn't mean that it would translate well to phones. Just like a Coca-Cola branded phone wouldn't do well, despite the Coca-Cola brand being huge. (Most) Adults will look at it and think "Playstation? As in the video game console? Okee.. not a phone for me then". Branding the phone Playstation would scare off more customers than it would bring in new ones. As for making it an actual Playstation gaming phone, it would be the same, only 100 times worse.

Yes, regardless of if it's included under the Playstation sub-division, and they only have a single model (which would probably just make it worse), and the rest you said, I think it would be a terrible move.

Playstation is a great brand within gaming, within phones though? It will do Sony's mobile division more bad than good.

How would it be bad again if they made and sold it @ profit..with the software being made going out goes to other handsets like Samsung & Apple iOS. Again how is making one single model going to hurt the brand if its set to tie in the support cycle to go along with a living room console's?

 

If its a forked over of AndroidOS Sony would have complete control on games made just for the playstation Smartphone and games released on iOS & Android are just more profit generation centers for Sony's playstation Subsidiary..

I see what you are saying , but I do not see how not making any hardware is any better than making a single smartphone that they make for playstation customer's a bad thing if that smartphone is sold at a profit.

 

Sony is turning playstation into an Eco system..you expect Sony to sit back and let every other company have hardware in the market for smart phones but not one they base on Playstation?

Use standard playstation dual shock controllers

Use Android so as Android Apps work on the phone.

Remember if they are targeting the single smartphone as their new Mobile PlayStation Platform..they could load up tools and development to make the best games on smartphone's sell on other iOS & Android OS handset. Using Dual shock controller support , but again they could make certain games Exclusive to that playstation Phone only.

Unlike the PsVita , this is base around the smartphone market not on dedicated handheld game console's.. So instead Sony brings the development creation that would be for consoled to smartphone's.. That means publishers like King, and other mobile game development publisher's would be seeing Sony release better games on the mobile market.

The key now is physical control pad's are not required on mobile, but if Sony make such that developers must make such function built into every game they publish every game would have physical game pad controller support. Grand theft auto San Andreas for example has controller support Bluetooth & wired for mobile.

That's one of the big caveats missing in many mobile games..but if Sony make it a requirements to the game must have physical game pad support included, that changes due elopement for mobile games market as a whole.

At least for the better in my opinion.
