A top Sony executive spills some beans about the rumoured PSP mobile phone
Gaming on a mobile � that slippery soap bar no one�s really grasped properly. Ideally, what we�d like to see is our favourite PlayStation games on a mobile.
Well, that�s just what one Sony executive thinks too. Talking to The Economic Times in India, Sony Computer Entertainment co-chief operating officer Jim Ryan said �Convergence with [Sony Ericsson and PlayStation] working together is definitely plausible.�
What with Sony Ericsson working its magic on the successful Walkman brand, and the Bravia brand overseas, a PSP phone seems as inevitable as tomorrow.
Though Ryan�s comments are hardly a commitment it�s still darn tootin� promising, to say the least. We presume a PSP phone would play some excellent titles, and be a gaming phone that stands out from the others. Or �other�, ie Nokia�s N-Gage range.
Ryan supposes the device would be a PSP with a built in phone function, rather than the other way round, as a mobile�s buttons and screen would make gaming a bit rubbish.
Of course, don�t confuse this with the PSP�s VoIP capabilities we mentioned earlier this year.
But rather than dismissing Sony�s attempts at a PSP phone as futile, considering mobile gaming has taken off like a balloon tied to the ground, it�s worth remembering Sony was the one who reinvented console gaming back in 90s. Can it happen again?
