Sony sells more smartphones, but suffers from drop in demand for cameras, PCs

Engadget: Sony's hugely improved smartphone range have done well for the company, and mobile sales in the last quarter have increased 39.3 percent since the same period last year. However, the rest of the financial news makes less cheery reading for Sony fans.

Japanese companies need to contain these losses. If i was in charge id make their phones
Able to play vita games by default. Or at least psp and minis.
Duo boot from android to psn. Get it while its hot.
Nintendo needs to hire more people and take more risks with new IPs
(they have a host of games they could reboot or even make HD)
Go all in or go home!

Vita game by default? Lol than whats the point of buying one.
Only Mini's and PSP games.

They want to sell vitas and they will be offering a $99 option called vita TV.
Why not add a cool perk of owning a sony phone? You need to do something different.
Being a gamer is still a minority when it comes to playing on the TV but if you could do something on your "only on sony" phone it will go a long way.
They need to throw the brand name around...it used to be worth something!
If only they stop being so stubborn...

same , just 2 yrs ago I used to spend so much time on my pc ,, now I barely touch it now that I have a tab and a phone

RBdrift3823d ago

What I don't understand is why doesn't Sony release their flagship phones on every carrier like Samsung and Apple. Hard to believe only T mobile and at&t get their phones.

They are not that great and getting into the market has been difficult for them.
