> [@Least\_Original\_User\_Name\_Ever](#): > > Or [not](http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/01/27/playstation-suite-sony-brings-playstation-games-to-android-phones/). ``` I am confused, how does that contradict what I said? I think the arrival of the Playstation Phone and the Playstation Suite will give a big push to high-quality games on Android. I know the latter isn't going to be exclusive to Sony's gaming phone but that is a good move and my guess is Sony's phone will have the best hardware for gaming. Whichever way you look at it, it's going to be a big boost for Android gaming. ``` ---

I know the latter isn’t going to be exclusive to Sony’s gaming phone but that is a good move and my guess is Sony’s phone will have the best hardware for gaming. Whichever way you look at it, it’s going to be a big boost for Android gaming. It doesn’t explicitly refute it, but it’s not exactly in support of it either. Sony could go a few ways with this. Presumably, they’ll make the PlayStationPhone a Sony Ericsson model with a customized Android build. However, there are so many hardware/software configurations for Android phones right now, I presume there’s got to be a minimum threshold for these phones to play those games. ---
