Sony Ericsson to launch games phone?

Posted on September 8th, 2007 at 08:43 EDT

Sony will unveil a gaming phone at the Mobility World Congress, according to news and community website Mobile Entertainment. Speculation has been mounting that the company will reveal a PlayStation branded phone.

However, now that the Mobility World Congress is almost here, Mobile Entertainment confirms that the device will not be a PlayStation branded phone like many industry insiders believed. Instead, it will be a new brand packed with a user friendly gaming interface, comprised with technical innovations like motion sensitivity. Mobile Entertainment believes it ”will pave the way for Wii-like gameplay on a handset".

The speculation of a gaming phone became more serious once Sony Ericsson’s designers, Rikko Sakaguchi, hinted that he was designing a gaming-type concept. Nokia is currently developing a new N-Gage. The first two versions of the company's games phone have had little success, mainly due to the lack of developer support, and also because of poor design decisions.

to blachaze, Since the other two cant call anyone! Game music ring tones would be nice. Oh and character voice ring back tones! Getting both those ideas copy righted and sell it to Sony Ericsson.

what a waste of money by sony ! the n-gage was a huge flop, why invest money in a segment that doesn´t give any kind of revenue ... they should use it in a new marketing campain for ps3 or simply invest it in the programing studios !!!
