Sony looking to gain Upperhand with the Playstation Phone

Nintendo might by the leading game company for now, but they better keep their eyes on Sony. The same could be said for Apple and their iPhone. If what Engadget.com reported is true, then Sony may take the lead as the industry's leading company.

It's being reported that a Playstation Phone is on the way, possibly as soon as the holiday season. It would be running the Android 3.0 interface and special Sony marketplace would be set up for downloadable games, apps, etc exclusive to the Phone.

If this phone does in fact hit the market this year it would be a gamers wet dream come true. Up until now the iPhone was the ultimate mobile device. But at times simple iPhone games aren't enough to match up to games from the PSP or the DS. Now gamers won't have to compromise. They will have the convenience of a Smart Phone and the game playing ability of a PSP.

First, Sony beat out Microsoft by being the only next-gen device to play Blue Rays, then started competing with Microsoft and Nintendo by putting out the Eye Toy and Playstation Move, now they look to put a stranglehold on the market by being the only company with a Phone/ Legit Gaming device in one. Time will only tell what becomes of this latest move.
