Smartphones from HTC will be certified to run PlayStation games

The Japanese Sony announced on Tuesday (5), during E3, changes in PlayStation Suite for mobile devices, without much emphasis program launched in January 2011 and has so far yielded only fruit as the smartphone Xperia Play, which coincidentally is produced by a small company called ... oops, Sony.


From now on the suite is called the PlayStation and Mobile, like its predecessor, will run on Android, will have minimal hardware requirements and will allow users of certain devices can play older PlayStation titles on their smartphones and tablets that use Android operating system.

During the same presentation, the manufacturer also announced a partnership with HTC to license the PlayStation platform for Mobile smartphones from Taiwan.  The attempt by Sony is gaining ground in the world of mobile gaming in the same way that their consoles have a comfortable position in the gaming market. Its biggest competitors are solutions like the Apple Game Center, iOS, and the numerous games that can be freely downloaded by Google Play or App Store.

Already HTC's strategy is to use the PlayStation certification to boost sales of their phones, relying on the vast amount of accessories such as cameras and sophisticated sound system Beats, to try to win some customers. One of the line appliances (One X One One S and V) will be the first to receive certification.
