This vast expansion might have a huge impact on Sony’s PlayStation brand, as the corporation will get access to a new set of customers. As a result, mobile gaming applications will generate more revenue.
The prospect of playing PlayStation games on a mobile device appears to be pretty appealing. Sony does not expect big profits in the near future, but that could change if the company’s mobile systems are in place.
According to some reports, Sony will release a wide range of its in-house PlayStation games for mobile devices. Although Sony has not specified a rollout plan, it is predicted to occur during the first year of its expansion. It’s also uncertain whether the iOS and Android releases will happen at the same time.
