What happen to Sony smartphones business?
Sony plays a minimal role in the smartphone market today. While Samsung, Huawei, and Google offer powerful devices at competitive prices, Sony often relies on a premium pricing strategy that deters many potential customers. Hiroki is now attempting to apply the same strategy in the Playstation division, as seen with the PS5 Pro.

I'm posting this on a Sony bravia smartphone. I got this because my country banned Huawei for some reason, even though you can still buy their phones. But whatever.

It's a solid little device but there's a lot phoned in. The music app which comes on the device is a Google app, not Sony music, which...dumb.
It doesn't come with the playstation app as default and other dumb little things that show it was built with a Sony name slapped on, not built with Sony in mind.

Before this one, I had a Sony phone in 2011/12/13 something like that, and it was the first to be able to film in 3d. It looked incredible.
Sony phones have fallen by the wayside imo

Just my two pence.

Oh yeah that’s a bad strategy the talk surrounding PS6 being $600 is bad the focus on power is bad. PS needs to focus on accessibility & portability. PS6 should be the same power as PS5 with the PSSR 2.0 at $400 with it being a hybrid handheld like the Nintendo Switch. PS needs to focus on actually releasing games at minimum they need to release a 5 games w a mixture of AAA & AA but nothing has told me that PS & PS studios are structure in a way. Because Nintendo output is outpacing PS4 & PS5 rn & there going to double down.

Bruh Lego Horizon has only 109 reviews on PS5 💀 that’s worse then concord wtf this game really came & went w no hype. Herman doing his best killing PS, PS studios & his own beloved ip by just forcing Horizon while ignoring other notable & beloved franchises like inFAMOUS, KILLZONE, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper & Ape Escape.

Where did Lego Horizon charted on Steam, PS & Nintendo storefront. How do you fuck up a Lego Horizon game 2 major franchise. They couldn’t even have Lego sets ready so people could pick up new sets & the game & building a great Lego Horizon experience truly something special could’ve been curated but Herman short sighted vision though making it multiplat would make this game huge & brought more sells when it looks like the opposite happen PS, PC & Nintendo players don’t care about a day n date multiplat PS games. There’s no desire, no prestige, no aura, no PS magic 😔

Oh & for a multiplat game to skip PS4 PS own platform which would’ve brought more sales which is the point of being multiplat lmao what a dumbass

The game could easily run on PS4, iOS, and Android and make bigger sales.
