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?

I'm not saying they should drop out of the phone market, I'm saying that they should just keep the Xperia branding of their phones, and that changing the branding to Playstation would be a terrible move.
