Sony Did Not Confirm PlayStation Phone Yet

Following our report that Sony Teases PlayStation Phone, “Developing Strategy For The Future”, a news has appeared on the web that “Sony Has Confirmed PSP Phone”.

As responsible journalists, it is our duty to notify you that this is not true.

The site in question which “confirms” the PSP Phone takes a quote from GI.biz and takes it out of context.

GI.biz itself had titled the article as “Sony teases gaming phone and tablet plans.”

Sony has only talked about it’s future strategy for the smartphone market, in essence it neither confirmed nor denied the PlayStation Phone:

“There is a gaming market based on cellphones, and there are many changes that are being seen [with] Nintendo, as well as ourselves, in the field of the product for the gamers. And there are smartphones and others or even cellphones gaming markets are very popular here in japan. So the market itself is very… expanding.

“We will look into those markets in trying to develop strategy for the future. Of course, we can’t talk about specific products, but smartphones and tablets… it is difficult to tell you how we can put the games on them, but they are not going to be planned in different parts of our company.”

In fact, Sony talks about its Sony Ericcson phone:

“I think we can better incorporate all of these capabilities better… so when the timing is right we can probably announce… the new product that we have.”

If and when Sony does reveal the PlayStation Phone, expect the news to be all around the web and on major gadget and gaming news blog.

Plus, you can expect to see official images then, not a rumored picture bearing the “Engadget” watermark.

We have contacted Sony and awaiting their official response.
