Corporate synergy has finally culminated within Sony as a rumored project between Sony Ericsson and Sony Computer Entertainment of America to produce a cross platform have not only emerged but have totally been leaked.Courtesy of Engadget, a picture of a prototype Playstation phone has suddenly appeared and bears an uncanny resemblance to the PSP Go. Reports of SCEA being approached by Ericsson with prospects of producing a video game phone have been around for a while now. Though initial reports said that SCEA declined the offer by Ericsson almost immediately. Recent reports showed that SCEA had changed their mind on the idea and development had begun.
We hear at Game Cop are surprising somewhat excited about this phone. The iPhone has already taken control of the market of mobile gaming, but if there's one company that could overtake them it would be the combined efforts of Ericsson and SCEA. With Sony's experience in gaming and the brand recognition of Sony Ericsson could prove to be a serious competitor for Apple. Though it'll be a hell of an upward battle to say the least. What may make or break this phone will be whether or not it supports apps the same way the iPhone does.
The Playstation phone still has not been announced but I'd say we can expect something in the very near future.
