| KBG29 said: With Googles recent announcement of the Pixel, the move to take full control of the Android platform is well under way. I have been screaming that this was comming for the last 5 years,... ... and the last 5 years you were wrong. You are probably also wrong the next 5 years if you keep on playing that broken record.
and have absolutly condemned Sony and Nintendo for their decision to not bring out phone versions of the Vita and 3DS. On the Sony side it is even more rediculous in the fact that they make phones and have thousands of patents... ... while Apple, Google, Samsung and a few others have tens of thousands mobile phone patents.
and yet abandoned Vita to instead loose billions on Android. Now the Xperia line once a brand that sold 40 million devices a year, has dropped to the point that they only expect to sell around 15 million this year. 15 million could have easily been achieved every year if they had continued to release Vita revisions,... Easily!... Yeah, right! ...and it would have made them billions as all users would be within their ecosystem. Sony had its own mobile ecosystem: PS Mobile. Most third party developers didn't care to port their mobile apps and games to PSM and even Sony itself didn't support it and released Android and iOS apps instead.
With that said, now is the time to make the move. NOW is the time to make their move? Wouldn't it be better if they had made their move before each iOS and Android had more than 1 billion active devices? Pixel is going to be the out right dominate phone in Android land. Sure, one of the most expensive Android devices will dominate "Android land". Samsung, Huawei and some other big Chinese manufacturers will roll over and die instead of offering competitive devices. |
