"Sony and Apple's cross-platform approach is a huge value-add for consumers: many games and movies (whether PSOne Classics, PlayStation Minis or App Store purchases) work across multiple devices and platforms. As of yet, Microsoft offers no equivalent."

And both of those devices offered all that stuff from day one right? Xbox live is already better than gameroom on the iphone and anything the psp will have in the next decade. I am 99.99999% confident they will be the hands down best gaming phone out there with xbox live mobile.

No video on the new zune video or music interface?

Very impressive stuff.... was hoping gaming would be a big deal on wp7 and this looks like a very good launch lineup.

Wish they would hurry up an announce these phones officially and more importantly which carriers they will come to.

@iWebDroidBerry Fine so it will be on maybe 2 phones (which has yet to even be confirmed that there will be more than one pspphone.... I still say there will be only one).... that make you feel better?

It doesn't change the fact that the psp phone will not even be close to what wp7 will be in terms of market coverage. Remember you were the one who brought this psp crap into a post about MGS creating a mobile game studio.

@iWebDroidBerry directly from the other article.... "Apparently it's currently branded as a Xperia device, but it looks like it will carry PlayStation branding as well." Assuming its an xperia brand too I am assuming only those phones will get this feature and there are not a bunch of models of that line. Even if every phone sony makes has it I don't see the playstation brand leaving the sony line (to HTC and motorola which are the android devices people are buying).

Xbox live on wp7 on the other hand will work on every HTC, dell, samsung, etc device made.

@iWebDroidBerry The rumored phone has specific things like the whole control pad part that ONLY those phones will have. Only the sony phone will have playstation branding and they can do it because android is open to everybody. I think there is pretty much 0 chance any other phone gets the playstation branding.

@iWebDroidBerry if you buy the one android device that has it.... probably will be on at&t too.

Xbox live will be better because it will be on every wp7 device sold..... the millions who already have and love android will not.

This studio has been talked about months before this job posting..... they already said they will be showing their games in august of which I expect some MGS mobile stuff (gamescom more than likely).

Looks really great..... wonder if microsoft is "encouraging" oem's to do metal phones over the plastic that most are these days. Seems most of them have the premium brushed metal look.
