Sony Ericsson CEO: PlayStation Phone “Could Happen”

05/07/2009 Written by Kyle P.

Rumors have been spreading the internet for months now, regarding a Playstation phone. Could the sporadic speculation finally have some validity?

Speaking to the Financial Times, Sony Ericsson CEO Hideki Komiyama stated that a Playstation phone “could happen”. Now, this has been rumored for months; and neither Sony nor Sony Ericsson have announced plans of a Playstation phone. So, let us take this with hesitation.

Concept art for the potential product, as well as a recent patent submission from Sony Ericsson, are included below. Make sure to check back on Playstation Lifestyle as we keep you updated on this developing situation.

Sony should just release some games for the iPhone. I mean, Sony Music has their artists on iTunes, don’t they? Sure, Apple is a competitor in a way, but helping Apple must hurt Microsoft in some way. So in the end it’s worth it. ;p

Why do they want to make a PS Phone? Just make the PSP into a phone…

Sony makes a lot of great products and one of their Z line ericson phones had just about every major audio and video playback and just about every feature I could ask for.
To give us a PSPhone would be an interesting move… I don’t think I want my Phone easily damaged at work and for both to get stolen at once if something unfortunate happens.

Damn, that’s a SWEEEEET phone! I bet it will be so damned expensive, though.

Think about the cost of a hybrid PSP/Phone. A PSP retails for about $120. How much would that cost? A top of the line phone merging with a top of the line handheld. I don’t even want to think about that.
I’m thankful that I have a PS3 and I would happily spend the $399 again if something ever happened to it, but I wouldn’t want to spend that kind of coin on a PSP/Phone.
However, if Sony did release a Playstation Phone, I would have to say that I would definitely be intrigued. My current 2 year contract on my phone runs out next month, so I will be a Free Agent in phone terms. lol
