PlayStation Suite will Move to More Android Devices, Sony Exec Says

23.10.2011
Sony's second in command, Kazuo Hirai, confirmed this week that his company is working on bringing its PlayStation Suite of games to more Android devices in the future.

Currently, only Sony-branded Android devices -- including the Sony Ericsson Sony Tablet S, and Sony Tablet P -- can run games from the PlayStation Suite. But that will change in the future, Sony's executive deputy president said at the AsiaD conference in Hong Kong.

"This isn't an ecosystem where we want to keep everything within the Sony family," Hirai said during a public interview with the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg. "This is not just for Sony devices."

"That's the beauty of Android," "We're in discussions with non-Sony companies to bring them on board. We'll make those announcements when it's time to go public with it. This is not just for Sony devices."

Hirai's revelation came the day after the first PlayStation Suite games for and Tablet P in Sony's online PlayStation Store. Offerings at the store start at $5.99 and include Cool Boarders, Destruction Derby, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto 1 and 2, Jumping Flash, MediEvil, Motor Toon Grand Prix, Rally Cross, and Wild Arms.

The PlayStation Suite was as a vehicle for Sony -branded Android devices to run PlayStation games.
