Sony’s considering portable game player with cellphone
With the success the iPhone / iPod Touch, developing game for this platform has become lucrative. With new games coming to Apple app store daily, suddenly the device is a worthy contender with portable game console such the Sony PSP.
The Nikkei business daily report today that.Sony Corp is considering developing a cellphone-game gear hybrid in a bid to better compete with Apple Inc’s highly popular iPod and iPhone, the Nikkei business daily said on Saturday.
The Japanese electronics and entertainment conglomerate launched its first Walkman three decades ago, dominating the portable music player market, but it has been running far behind the iPod and iPhone in recent years.
Sony plans to set up a project team as early as July to develop a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones, the Nikkei said.
A Sony spokesman declined to comment on the report.
