Maybe it is possible but it's not gonna happen anytime soon. PS4 needs cooling system for its chip. And selling TVs with cooling system is not a good idea. I agree that it will be a good idea to get rid of Android but maybe they should just port PS4 OS to ARM chips used in their TVs instead. Bundle TVs with dualshock and have PS Now app for gaming. That's something they can really do right now with current technologies. I'm really surprised that they haven't done this by now despite all the rumors at the beginning of this gen that Sony wants to go in a cloud gaming direction. But we all see that PS4 is a beast so maybe there is no need to push cloud gaming right now

Yeah, it would definitly not be possible to do until 2019 when the PS4 chipset goes to 7nm. Porting the PS4 OS to ARM would be interesting though. I always liked the idea of keeping the entire Sony line based around a single chipset to make development easier, but perhapps it would be good to have there OS on both X86 and ARM just to be flexable. 

At any rate, it is extreamly important for Sony to get all of their devices running on their own OS. Android is a good place holder, but you can't rely on someone elses OS forever. They already lost billions on Vaio riding the Windows train, and they have lost billions on Android. They have to set themselves apart, and make their products creat long term profit.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
