It can't be much longer before they drop Android and the Xperia brand, and bring out a Phone/Tablet/Handheld based on the PS4 OS and APU. I am guesing we could see something as soon as 2018 or 2019 depending on when 7nm FinFET becomes mass producable. This would be a much more profitable route for them then the current Xperia situation. Even if they only moved the same 3 Million mobile units each quarter, it would bring in much higher revenue and profits, since they would get every dollar spent on the device. After Kaz's comments earlier this year, about mobile not seeing any innovation in nearly a decade, I think they are definitly looking to do something different, and the PlayStation ecosystem is there ultimate play to disrupt the current mobile market. |
Highly doubt it. Sony knows that well is drying. People are perfectly fine with gaming on their phones and tablets if they want a handheld. I also doubt they'd drop Android. It's the number one OS in phones/tablets. As MS proved, people aren't interested in yet another OS competing in the phone or tablet market.
