Rumor: Sony is definitely working on Playstation Phone

A website suggests that Sony's co-chief operation officer has stated that the Playstation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson, so therefore convergence between those two arms working together is plausible. He supposedly also stated that it is 'hugely intellectually seductive' to have a console oriented phone.

After several months of rumors, it has just been confirmed that Sony is currently indeed working on the Playstation Phone project to bring the power of a video game console to a mobile phone device. A high ranking Official inside Sony Japan said that Sony wants to grab the two fastest growing electronics markets at once with the Playstation Phone, which are : gaming and mobile telecommunication.

It has also been confirmed that Sony had already submitted an application for a mobile telecommunication device with video games functions to the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office.

When asked about the project, Jim Ryan, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Co Chief Operating Officer said that : ” The Playstation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console oriented phone. ”
