There's absolutely no chance of them being able to compete with the iPad. What Sony should do is arrange a licensing deal with M$ so that they can make Windows 8 tablets. A Sony Windows 8 tablets is a much more exciting prospect than a Sony Android tablet.


they already have that with their Vaio touch.  It is a laptop and a tablet at the same time with windows 8.

Didn't they try a tablet before? I'm pretty sure that one failed (basically) too.

im in the market for a nice tablet. Win8 tablets are looking good, but will wait a little longer to see if it gets better app support and can bring the price down a bit more. I wont buy a ipad, and android tablets don't do it for me.

What the hell? You could argue that Android and iOS tablets are useless, given that you can't use Office on them...aka they're not productive. Also, the Windows App Store is ever-expanding, and by 2014 will be a similar standard to iOS and Android, so it's only an issue in the short-term.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I heard this tablet has a res. of 1900x1200, a bit disappointed as its not anywhere near the Nexus 10 or the amazing (highest?) ppi on the Xperia Z phone.

I don't think Sony will bring out a Win 8 Pro tablet under the Xperia name, their first one is under the Vaio line.

Higher ppi doesn't always enhance the user experience. Check the Surface Vs Nexus 10 thread. The software needs to be optimized to make use of those extra pixels. So in that way i think the ppi and resolution is fine. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153323&page=1#

Seeing the demand for Windows RT, there is no point in doing one and they are already making W8 tablets.

Didnt Sony release a tablet last holiday....and have it recalled?

Sony tablets can't even compete with MS tablets, nevermind Ipad.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
