Sony Ericsson looking to use PlayStation brand for new handsets |
Ó
The Financial Times reports that Sony Ericsson is thinking about using Sony's PlayStation brand for its new high-end mobile phones. According to Sony Ericsson president Miles Flint, the PlayStation brand is "an area of possible future activity".This sort of contradicts rumors that Sony Ericsson would not be using the PlayStation Portable brand for its rumored gaming phone. The company, which is half-owned by Sony, already has a mobile TV-capable Bravia phone being developed in collaboration with Japan's NTT DoCoMo.
While the PlayStation phone is indeed a possibility, Flint stressed that the tech needed for such a phone is still far from being perfected. "We need to make sure that it is a credible phone, and be sure we are justified in putting that identity on it," said Flint.

really might mean, that they are really looking to it, although I can't think about a mobile phone with GOOD games.
And besides, where would you get the games, from WAP/EDGE and pay much money from them? If they make a new mobile game standard for the industry, will Nokia and Samsung + other makers be able to follow them? If not, this might be a huge flop. Like Nokia did, with the massive flop NGage. It flopped due to the facts that to put a new game in, you had to remove the battery, and people not being ready for games in other handhelds than GameBoy, (or was it DS time already..?) and the games were quite bad, game makers couldn't make good games for it due to the bad specs of the machine. Of course, it was very cheap to produce games to a handheld that you can make games yourself with freely available softwares these days.
Well, now the only mobile games I play are vNes and vBoy for my dear J2ME enabled Nokia 6260 Symbian Series 60 mobile phone.
For small, quick pick up and play games. With a modern phone articecture (something along the lines of the N95 and as long as it was 3g/HSPDA for the downloads then perhaps they could make a good gaming phone.
Unless sony erricsons get to a point were they have a 333mhz processor NO
there wont be any games for it
remember the first presentation of Home?
Phil Harrison actually made Home come down to his mobile phone screen.
this might be the thing they're talking about
Imagine if they shrunk the die size of a certain multicore cpu and seriously decreased the clock speed to fit in a phone..ha unlikely, but nice thought.
