As much as I love playstation I think people overestimate how many people would give up their phone for a playstation branded phone.

The only way I woukd buy one is if it were as good as my Xperia, have the IP certification, and as an addition run a separate OS that you can switch between so I still have a fully functional android phone.

With all that being said I wouldn't want to compromise battery life, speed, clean and simple design, sleek look and cost either.

I really can't see how playstation phone would work in terms of profit as Apple and Windows fans won't switch over, Other android users might if it priced similar or less and doesn't compromise any other features. This phone will pretty much make their niche audience even more niche.

Sony makes the xperia brand, this time Sony owns fully The Ericsson's half..the xperia play was not made under Sony fully.

So.again how would it be hindered, if the things that made xperia smartphone's be what they are cause Sony a problem if Sony make instead a Playstation Phone..it would still be an xperia... Just streamlined for Playstation software & services added. To make it also a gamer centric smartphone.

 

Sony said, making another dedicated handheld game console was out of the question now not really feasible

A smartphone on the other hand to sell premium playstation games to "Gamers" would net them more money on software sales than it would be in the smartphone market as is..not many casual audience in google playstore or iOS would plop down the prices for expensive games..but in the case of gamers , if you make a quality Game like a dedicated Mobile handheld game, the return per sale of a game would be higher. Per sale of the game..

Investing into AAA smartphone games would need a good number of consumers in the smartphone market to buy those expensive games..that's why Sony's new studio is being set to bring full games to smartphone's.

If its PS2 games the price may be low costing, but a PSVita class type Level of investment would cost more than most Smartphone games..they are I doubt.want to set prices low for those game's.
