There`s one chance for Sony succeding in handelheld gaming, make it not a handelheld gaming device, but make it the ultimate smartphone for gamers!

Xperia PLay was a good idea very badly implemented, but if Sony can make a Smartphone with that form-factor, but with guts and with a good price point, it`s a no brainer it can succeed. Think like this, an smartphone, that runs a heavily optimized Android, with an x86 processor so porting from PS4 to this new machine will be very easy, supporting all android dedicated catalog and with exclusive releases, it could work very well.

Taking the entire idea of the Switch but with the smartphone form-factor and ditching the TV part, it could be a killer. People don`t mind carrying an 5.0 inches screen smartphone.

I actually don`t understand why Sony didn`t have done anything like that before. Gaming on smartphone is getting every day bigger, fusing the possible public of handelhelds and smartphone gamers is something only they can do right now, since they can use the PS brand to bring important titles to the plataform.

And they even don`t have to worry too much about pricing, since even if it`s sold for 500 USD carriers can subside the cost with contracts. It would sell like hotcakes.
