Sony to Release DS Killer by Christmas
The Sony Ericsson gaming boss, Peter Ahnegard, said that a PlayStation-branded gaming phone would be coming by Christmas. He also added that it might not be this Christmas, which probably pissed whoever he was talking to off to no end. Sony Ericsson, who’ve already branded their W-line of phones the Walkman line, the K-line of phones the Cyber-shot line, and some random Japanese line the Bravia line, can easily brand another line (G, maybe, since P is taken) the PlayStation line. It doesn’t even need games other than the mobile ones that already exist for their cellphones, which run just fine on SE’s higher-end hardware.

Looks like Sony is aiming to win on both the console and handheld front this Christmas.
So now Sony is going to go the PS3 route and stuff alot of shit people don’t want into a handheld GAMING device. The PSP doesn’t sell because the games suck and it’s too expensive. Between this and the PS3 you would think Sony would have learned something by now.
On what level is this competing with the DS? It’s competing with other mobile phones for the mobile gaming market, and to be honest, that’s already split between Sony and Nokia anyway. When “reporting”, you might also like to read the originating article, in which Peter Ahnegard states;
“Up until today? So does that mean we can look forward to a PlayStation branded handset soon, say before Christmas?
It’s obviously something that we’re looking at but right now I can’t really comment. Before Christmas, certainly… but exactly which Christmas I can’t confirm!”

Oh, and N-Gage anyone? We all know that what people really want is a phone that places gaming above the ability to make calls without looking a total prick.
“Looks like Sony is aiming to win on both the console and handheld front this Christmas.”
Only true statement ever made on this site. Sure, they are AIMING to win on both the console and handheld fron this Christmas, because so far they’re losing on both.
Your site sucks. Anything i write bad, and the comment gets cleared. You know how to code websites as well as infrastructure for the cell, dumbasses.
Look out iphone, just when you thoughht you had the title of most overpriced gadget only retard buy, the psphone steps in to take your crown.
The psp will never beat the DS. I’ve got custom firmware so i don’t actually have to pay for games….and i STILL have nothing to play.
This shit sucks and I’ll pimp slap you with my Wii mote.
You retard, it’s competing in the phone market not against the DS, this site is for retards.
Wow that looks awesome! I can’t wait to see how Sony screws it up!
Awesome! I wonder if it will have Blu-ray.
Sega Gamegear, atari lynx, nokia n-gage, and the psp. Damn nintendo is really gonna get there asses handed to them by sony; since considering that all Nintendo handhelds have whooped all those other handhelds collective asses.
I like the playstation brand; the SDF just gives it a bad name.
everyone has missed the big point that the thing looks like a chunky piece of shit.
i know its just a concept drawing but it looks bad even for a first try
and it will never knock nintendo off the handheld gaming throne, best it could do is beat the n-gage in the most unnecessary gaming system catagory
Why should I spend ~£200 on a handheld PS2?
The DS has decent, fun, innovative games. The PSP just has crappy dumbed-down ports from the PS2, there’s no point in it.
Gaming phone? Where did I hear that before…hmmm the N-Gage. Remember that? That’s because it sucked!
stupid idea it probably wont even fit into your pocket but sony still is king
Someone PLEASE show this site to Seanbaby.
sony wins every war they r in. fact
I wonder whatever happened to this…
