I also think a PS4 handheld is an absolute must, along with PS Phone finally happening. With only 17 million Xperias forcasted this year, with 5 million in profits, it is time to hand the mobile division over to a branch that can actually make it profitable. Even if Sony only sold 10 Million PS Phones and Handhelds per year, the profits would be 10 times that of the Xperias. If I ran things at Sony, I would have a three year cycle starting right now. 2016 = PS4 Pro & PSVR 2017 = PS4 Laptop/Tablet 2018 = PS4 Handheld, PS4 Handheld/Phone & PS4 Phone 2019 = PS4 Super Slim/PS4 Pro Slim/PS4 Pro+/PSVR Pro 2020 = PS4 Laptop/Tablet Slim & PS4 Laptop Pro 2021 = PS4 Mobile Line Revisions 2022 = PS5 and PSVR2 Super simple, Home and VR, Office, and Mobile. Every year a platform is improved to meet a lower entry point, and maintain a flagship product. This gives them a massive reach appeasing to many different kinds of consumers, and allows them to take full advantage of the PS4 OS and PlayStation Network. This gives them constant improvement, constant revenue and profit streams, and allows them time to build PS5 into something truly worthy of a next gen console. For consumers, this means more choices, more options to upgrade, greater value from products, and much longer life cycles. Hopefully, the future of PlayStation looks something like above. It's better for Sony, it's better for consumers, and it is better for innovation. |
Lol..... and you would cripple the playstation. Good thing you aren't the one running things.
I think its easy to lose sight of what console gaming is really about. Ideally, a platform holder wants to spend as little as possible on not just hardware, but the hundreds of millions that go into R&D for said hardware.
Its abiut software and services. What works best for sony and playstation is to make hardware that they can sell en masse, so they can sell software to all those people and services like PS+ and PSvue.
And the mobile thing is a complete waste of time and resources. What will the Playstation phone/tablet run on? Android? will you be able to play PS4 games on it? or will they make games specifically for it?
