How Sony’s views on mobile gaming will affect the PlayStation 4

Recently, Sony Computer Entertainment of America Director of Emerging Platforms, Chris Mahoney, divulged Sony’s ideologies regarding mobile gaming as compared to console gaming. Interestingly, this glut of information comes around a week before Sony is rumored to announce the PlayStation 4. Could this information be a strong hint as to what direction Sony will take gaming?

I just want remote play on my vita from the PS4. That way I can game while my wife watches TV and won't get annoyed with my eight hour gaming sessions.

Sounds like the Vita is doomed, heard it from the horses own mouth :O

Somebody should shoot the horse and put it out its misery.

So, using his analogy, if mobile gaming is the snack, does that make Vita the packed lunch....and PS4 a banquet?
Im REALLY hungry for February 20th lol

Mobile gaming(excluding dedicated handhelds) is more like the snack you select in a vending machine that gets caught up in the release mechanism and steals your dollar.

I might get a Vita next year when I'll have to take the bus on campus and probably be stuck there for long periods in between classes, or 3DS with pokemon coming out. Not really sure yet.

i'm worried about one thing that is really bad about Vita: Multi account!!

[fredrikpedersen]

I'd like this too. That way I can buy games for my sister's Vita, but also use them on my own

...and sony can finally start earning money from digital downloadable titles because since i changed my country of location i cannot buy games on DL for my main account that is running on both PS3 and Vita.

the day sony realizes there are people who have problems like mine they will start earning some more.

well, good for me, i have both ps vita and xperia acros S, but now i rarely check the psn mobile because is so lame and nothing interrest me in this store

i have no doubt that sony will deliver some fantastic features with PS4 & with vita, itl add much more to it.. Vita has some power so dont get it twisted people.. Just cuz its not flying off the shelves doesnt mean it sucks.. It means they need more games to appeal to the masses as well as core gamers.. Im happy with mine but i wish i had more original games like Soul Sacrifice to look forward to soon
