RUMOR:Sony Ericcson working on XPERIA PSP Phone

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/11/exclusive-sony-ericsson-to-introduce-android-3-0-gaming-platfor/

So what do you think, could this beat the 3DS?

I personlally think this could get the iphone market but the 3DS market is already sold on the 3DS.

Regardless I'll be getting this just because it has Gingerbread.

NO! I dont want a Phone, I want a gaming handheld with PS3 like graphics and 2 analog stix, with a 30 hourbattery life. Damn it Sony, I just want a hardcore gaming handheld system

the best part about this is the face that you could potentially get it for free under the right phone contracts! VideoGameGuy

ok if i wanted a game phone hybrid i think ngage is cheaper ! haha , point is, it will fail ,,

just like ngage and ngage qd ,, which were by nokia a well known company!

so dont even bother mention but sony is popular, ,

cause right now nintendo owns the market for the most part

sony only holds like 15 percent of the pie and iphone 5 percent and nintendo 80 percent lol

This is the right move by Sony has phone gaming is the future of portable gaming, whether you gamers like it or not. Everyone wants an all-in one device. Not two devices to carry around. 3DS will one day become a 3DS phone.

I would totally buy a PSPhone. Hopefully, the PSPhone isn't just a phone that plays PSP Go games, but rather a next generation handheld with better graphics and CPU power (and a second analog stick). I think Sony could find a very good niche for the PSP if it's able to straddle the line between the DS and the iPhone. It would be more convenient than carrying multiple devices around, and it would also be much better suited for games than the iPhone. Also, imagine the possibilities of online 3G/4G gaming! Imagine having an MMORPG in your pocket!

Looks like the PSP GO combined with a touch phone.

very sexy i like it alot, can't wait for the next PSP, nintendo 3ds looks decent, but what kills it for the the lack of mature games..

If all consumers cared about was getting all their eggs in one basket, home computers should have replaced consoles in the 80s.

Beat it in games ?

Not in a million years

No. But then again, it's an Android-based phone. An entirely different market.

PSP Phone?

yet another Nintendo victory incoming.

if thats the case they quit the handheld race and went with the iphone market

so i have to watch it on gamespot? trust me my account proves nothing i barely update it in the first place.

second yea they are expanding their horizons because they are not doing that well in the handheld department by itself so they thought of an alternative its smart business(which sony lacks).

so they are going for the gaming phone market which the iphone is making very popular which is a different market because its not a direct competitor to a handheld like the 3DS.

Sony needs to not try to combat the iPhone with a phone, Droid and HTCs phones already do that.

So no one here remembers this?!?!?!?!

Yeah, that idea worked out real well....

If it could run PSP Go software as well, that'd be complete and utter epicness.

this can't even come close to the PSP3000, no way it hangs with the 3DS. What a waste of time and $$$. Am i gonna switch and get a 3DS? maybe.

Thanks Sony, you just gave Nintendo back its monopoly on the handheld market.hiphops_savior

Sony will get destroyed by Nintendo on the handheld front and Apple on the Smartphone end.

Will be a gimmicky failure like the PSP GO.

gaming will be the downfall, smartphone prices are going up. with all those features it would cost more than the iphone. a 3 year plan would probably be like $250-$300
