Sony could launch a possible Playstation branded mobile phone
It has been rumored since a long that Sony has been considering launching mobile phone devices with Playstation like gaming capabilities.
Sony Computer Entertainment co-chief operating officer Jim Ryan has now been quoted as saying in the media: “The PlayStation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible.”
He added: “What has been done is finding a match between a camera and a mobile phone, and that has been done wherein the mobile phone features are not reasonably inhibited and the camera is also a reasonably competitive product. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console-oriented phone.”
Diptarup Chakraborti, principal analyst at research firm Gartner had this to say on the possibility of a Playstation branded mobile phone: “Sony Ericsson has succeeded in selling music phones and camera phones that capitalize on its well-known Walkman music player brand and its Cyber-Shot digital camera brand. While the Cybershot and Walkman are better selling brands from the Sony fold, PlayStation almost enjoys cult status and two strong brands, SE and PS would make a strong success story for Sony.”
