| KBG29 said: Again, I can't stress enough, that Sony's focus should be on gamers. The PlayStation Phone would not be a device or Platform, that is going after 200 million sales a year. It would be a niche device just like PlayStation Home Consoles, that targets gamers with a goal of 10 - 20 million sales a year, and a userbase between 60 - 120 million. It would not be aimed at people looking for the most compact and waterproof devices, with the best selfie camera and multi-camera back cam. It would be a handheld gaming device first and foremost, with OS level support for calls and texts. It would have front and rear cameras, both to check the box, and for use in certain games. |
You really think that almost every PlayStation Gamer would ditch his iPhone or Android phone and eventually go for a PlayStation phone... with all the downsides compared to other smartphones? (more weight, bigger device, harder to pocket, worse cameras, no water and dust resistance, much smaller selection of apps, some popular apps WON'T be available, already bought iOS or Android apps can't be used anymore, much more flash memory needed for bigger games, very low battery life if they game on it...)
Just to have the option to play some PlayStation games on the go on their phone? Not everybody who enjoys to play PS games at home also wants (or has time) to play these games on the go on a tiny screen... or carry around a bigger and heavier than necessary device 24/7, if they only want to play on it once or twice a week. Console gaming at home is only one of their hobbies, not their live purpose that everything revolves around.
