Ok, it’s really a bad news for mobile gamers. Sony has finally dropped the idea of allowing Sony Ericsson to make the PSP Phone, something which the mobile gamers were desperately waiting a long time for. The company is not going to license PSP branding to Sony Ericsson. The concept of the PSP Phone was very cool and it incited loads of mobile phone gamers all over the world. After Apple started focusing on making the iPhone and iPod a potential handheld gaming device it was speculated that the Sony and Xbox maker Microsoft too will integrate their consoles with the mobile phones.
The PSP Phone finally remained a stupendous device in concept only. It was supposed to integrate the PlayStation Portable (Sony’s popular handheld gaming console) Sony Ericsson mobile phones like the Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1. Sony was interested to license the PSP brand only if the Ericsson stops making mobile phones. Indirectly, the Sony indicated an end to its relationship with Ericsson. Sony never refuses to make high standard products with other electronic products makers but it only do so when it believes that the new product in question will meet the standards, quality and technical specifications as laid down by Sony, otherwise the company don’t allow the third party manufacturers to use its brand.
According to a Sony Ericsson’s spokesperson, “In the past, we have been keen that our product proposition lives up to brand promise, and we feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone.” Finally the mobile phone gamers are not getting anything like PSP Phone as of now. May be the company allow Ericsson to develop it in future but waiting for it keenly is a total waste of time.
