Unlikely, since the PlayStation Suite also has two tablets and the NGP coming out that support it. As FirstBlood said, this device itself is a waste. That's why I'm hoping for a new one to be announced a E3.

PS Suite is a big deal in the company.
Xperia Play is junk but they will keep working on the Suite for the forseeable future.
If I could get this on Sprint I would.
Yeah, we are getting the launch kits today, phones at the end of the week.
I have pretty good "flop phone" radar, and when I played with the proto I had decent hopes, but now the internet buzz is so negative it may kill it.
I have had a decent number of customer inquiries on it though.

We get it. You will adapt to whatever portable format pushes the highest horsepower. That's fine. It sounds like you want an NGP if you're not factoring a phone in your life at all.
This X. Play thing is a phone with a dpad that still fits in a pocket. There is no other phone like it that doesn't involve some bullshit adapter. This is huge to people who give a shit about this style of gaming that can't live without a smartphone. Even with android in its current state, if you can't find a way to fill the phone up with decent small time d-pad-able games, you're a moron.
Also, I'll take a legitimate upscale console the fits in my pocket over a hulking horsepower console that is impractical to leave the house with.
It's a hammer, Yoshi. It's not a power drill. Go talk shit on the power drills thread if you like power drills, Yoshi.
Thanks for that mass of obvious text. Cheebs asked why the NGP exists, so I answered him. If someone wants to pay $200 + contract for a GP32 phone, more power to them, but that thing is a joke in every way except the physical controls.
Gonna hold out for the NGPC.
Notch tweeted a picture of Minecraft running on the Xperia Play.
Killer ap imo.
Timed exclusive or some such shit. I don't see how the game is any better suited to this than it is to any other android phone.
The Xperia Play is coming to AT&T in navy, as well as the standard black. The blue is some sexy shit.
