It's still so crazy to me that no modern gaming phones have ripped off the Xperia. With GameCube and PS2 emulation performing very well on Android, and people already used to phones getting larger, there's no time better than right now for one IMO. There's a bunch of standalone android handhelds too, none with that added phone functionality.

@hikerclarence7092

It's not crazy because it's not a good idea. A sliding controller mechanism costs a lot of money to produce, is fragile and has a lot of moving parts to break, would make a phone unreasonably thick, makes it impossible to put on a robust case like we're used to now, and actively prevents you from choosing your own controls because it would probably be too thick to accommodate the external mobile controllers we have now. Drop it once and you might break the sliding mechanism, which would be a terrible look for the company. People who want to use their phones to game on already have tons of choice for controllers. You would be solving a problem that doesn't exist. External controllers for phones like we have now didn't really exist back in 2011, so the xperia play was technically solving a problem of the time. The fact that it flopped even then says everything there is to say about that concept.

Yeah it would be cool to have an Xperia play with a similar size and modern or at least a Bluetooth controller that transforms a phone into something like the xperia play.

I bought a refurbished one in 2020 because I always wanted one. I installed custom ROMs on it, and see what I could do with it. Although it's a very competent SNES and GBA emulator, it's a dumb phone with a controller attached. Anything Android works as slow as any 8-year old smartphone, the App Store was discontinued so everything had to be installed with an APK installer, and N64/PS1 emulation is nothing to write home about. The touchpad sticks are a nice idea but very few games support it (and it's not really comfortable), so even though I'm glad I bought one to tinker around, there's a reason they didn't came back with that form factor, or why retro handhelds filled that Android gaming niche. It's an interesting piece of gaming history, but it's far from a daily driver.

Microsoft never made a handheld, and while Vita was striving towards graphical handheld power and the 3DS had its bells and whistles, Xbox could have made a mobile/handheld hybrid to compete with both; it would have given Windows Phone much-needed value as a mobile OS. Imagine a WP-exclusive Halo or Gears of War running flawlessly on a handheld. Would it be succesful? Don't really think so, as Windows Phone also flopped, but damn I would have wanted to see them try instead of seeing two Sony branches (Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Ericsson) tripping over each other as to who would take the lead in the final generation of the handheld console wars.

This was my first Android phone. And I still have it. The greatest phone ever made. I really wanted this concept to get a sequel. As a 15 year old this was the coolest thing ever to show off and play. It was awesome that I Minecraft pocket edition very first came out for this phone. It was so cool to be one of the first to ever play Minecraft pocket edition. And this was hands down the best emulator phone of its day. NES, GBA, SNES, GENESIS my god having the super clicky responsive built in controller was fucking incredible.

My friend bought the Sony PlayStation phone, the device was cool and I’ve played Crash Bandicoot and Need for Speed on his phone, but the lack of joysticks were a problem why many PlayStation games didn’t get ported to that device. Sony just didn’t try hard enough in mobile games, they didn’t want it to cannibalize their dedicated handhelds like the PS Vita! Sony at least made a phone that looked like the PSP Go and not the infamous Nokia N Gage!

A common misunderstanding I often see online regarding Sonic N for the Nokia N-Gage is they say the screen was vertical, I even remember Sam Procrastinates said that to Scott but that's not entirely true, Sonic N has two view options, a vertical and a horizontal, in fact the horizontal option is set by default and you had to press a button "if I recall it was Num 0" to switch to the vertical view.

A smartphone from 12 years ago is my dedicated music device. It can have playlists bigger than a thousand songs and equalizer settings that don't exist anymore. And I don't have to pay a monthly rate for it. Granite reads all sorts of different audio files unlike modern phones today which somehow it's more high-tech to be able to read less audio files.

Scott, you're like a Jehovah witness for gaming. "Hello kind sir, do you have 20 minutes to hear about the PlayStation Phone?" And the fact is, you can convert anyone.

Here is another problem with the limited internal storage problem. There were too many apps on the Google Play store (cough, Facebook at the time) that would not let you install on the micro SD card. It had to be installed onto internal memory. I had to root my phone to uninstall those preinstallled games and a few preinstalled apps to make room for apps that I actually used. Other than that, best phone I ever had.

I remember seeing this thing in stores.

I so wanted one of these back in the day.

I think it was a totally missed opportunity for Sony to have a phone that had the PSP store, and it played all PSP games only digitally, and also plays previous PSP online purchases, that would’ve been so cool.

I love this era of gaming, this is the time dev actually put time and effort into explore how the mobile gaming will looks like in the future, nowadays i think it is not much that effort anymore

My dad had one of these. I remember the analog stick (or lack of an analog stick) being uncomfortable.

I had this as a teenager. This thing ruled!

This thing made me so cool in high school lol. Everyone wanted to borrow it and play GTA3 or Crash or Minecraft

Take a shot every time Scott’s face appears on the phone’s screen.

I was a phone sales person and this thing was s nightmare st launch. Slow. Expensive. Ran out on onboard memory immediately.

About damn time he covered this!

This is such the epitome of "It looked good on paper". It's a phone, but has an actual game controller! You can play console quality games on the go, and don't need another device! The reality was the controls felt a vastly inferior to an actual controller. You could theoretically play Crash, then switch to the phone when you wanted to take a call, though you had to hope that playing games didn't drain the battery by then.

YES YOU MADE IT FINALLY THANK YOU SCOTT

I had this phone when I was 11 and I still cherish it to this day

I've wanted a new one of these for like ten years. Back in the day I played NES and SNES stuff on mine a ton; hauling around multiple devices (or clip-on controllers or whatever) is kind of a pain when my phone can _almost_ do the same stuff, so being able to just pull out my phone and use that was worlds more pleasant.

I had one of these! I think I still have it somewhere. The controls were actually pretty well implemented, and as a phone it functioned well enough too. The only real drawback was a lack of storage space, I have no idea why they didn't provide more internal storage considering they wanted you to buy games for it.

Love to see a Scott Plays where you and your friends play the battle royal mode on the D-day map on Conker’s Bad Fur Day with the different weapon packs. My favorite was the samurai swords and chainsaws when I played it back when it came out as a teenager

Scott Wozniak my beloved

That Tetris game is still one of my favorites, it’s the one that got me hooked to it. I wish they still had it on the App Store

I remember buying one of these in 2011. I loved this thing. I did use it for emulation and had a grand time. I do feel like it is a little unfair to judge a phone from 13 years ago for not having access to the servers for downloading software anymore. But at the time, this was great.

I had that thing when I was a kid and it was AWESOME! I had lots of fun playing both various emulators and native Android games. Though flex cable connecting both halves dies after two-three years of active use

My sister had one of these! I was always so jealous of her. She barely played the games.

I actually owned this and used it on launch. I have SO many stories with this device. I even still have mine like within arms reach too because I genuinely love using this phone still for GBA emulation games whenever I go into my office.

This was my very first smartphone, it was a great portable emulator in middle school

Oh sweet Scott jumscares!

Now I want my phone to have a square button and Crash Bandicoot

i had one of these as a teenager and loved it. crash bandicoot was great, but i also played a lot of emulated pokemon games and stuff, was sick

This is easily the best phone I ever had. If they made updated versions of this phone, I'd still buy it easily! Super convenient to have my phone, internet device, media device, and handheld gaming device in a single device when out and about. I didnt need a DS or PSP with me all the time when i had this that played my NES, SNES, Genesis, most 2D PS1, and even a few N64 games through emulation. Still have mine. I used it up until the Facebook and messager updates required better hardware and forced me to update to the point that I couldn't make an emergency 911 call on it when in a lock down situation.

My mom had one of these in 2012! It was the coolest phone ever and way ahead of its time.

Sony; the master of putting out an expensive system, not putting out any software, dropping support within a few years and saying "sorry y'all, tough break, thx for the money." I can't believe people still go for that bs
