Yeah, I remember posting their Playstation Mobile section on the Play Store when some ppl were freaking out about recent Sony mobile gaming news.
They have been involved with mobile gaming for years. They still make smartphones.
If thats the case they must have already went 3rd party and we all missed it.
Their mobile games date back to the middle of last gen. The Vita had its own mobile game store.

Microtransaction money on the table from phone games.
Which if they use it to fund more AAA exclusives on ps5...

Most people don't give a fuck about the feature.
Any serious console gamer wouldn't use the feature for obvious reasons. I've only ever used it twice and that was to do inventory management in a GAAS game while at work. I wouldn't dream to use it to do any sort of serious gaming remotely.
Otherwise remote playing is pure utter shit.

Next GoW is announcing, 2022, coming to a platform near you. GoW is exclusive to all mobile gamers! *Blizzard background clap* (or lack thereof)

And yet still 2 generations ahead in soc and outperforming phones with twice the ram. Each to their own. You like android go for it. I like the iOS system and iPhones. I’m not going to shit on you for buying an android

It was more of a joke post.
I know it's different, but I remember reading what epic said that they used fortnite Microtransaction money to build epic game store. And give out free games.
Its not game development but its one example of smartphone money being used elsewhere for pc games.

Not just iPhones though, even Android. And it's mostly the new mobile division under PS. It's mobile gaming and probably they'll port PSP/PS Vita games on mobiles as well as most mobiles can run those games, PS3 games as well probably for some. Maybe that's part of the PSP/Vita and PS3 stores closure.
This is the future of gaming, but in backwards. Demanding games will still need consoles and capable PC's. Eventually mobiles would run even PS4 games. Smart move from Sony to tackle billions of mobile gamers instead of wasting time and resources on cloud gaming that most gamers don't give a shit about, although both can co-exit but one is vastly profitable. More than sure mobile gamers will appreciate more mature games than many of the ones offered currently on mobiles.
Sony is hiring for PlayStation mobile development
A recent job posting by Sony seems to imply the publisher is looking to increase its presence in the mobile gaming industry.

Together with the movies not the worst ideas to make your brands more popular.

More like expanding the PS brand enormously. Jim Ryan is a fucking genius. With only $3.3B profit out of a massive $25.5B revenue, this makes pure sense and will bring so much headroom to both console gaming and mobile gaming expand in parallel so they can support more risky projects on PS5.
Anyone thinking of PS5 games or even PS4 at the moment to be mobile games could as well use a shoe as a brain with all the trolls in this thread. If any coming to PS4/5 it'll be simple F2P games like fortnite and so.

Since they bought Gaikai Playstation had the same intention as Xbox: To have Playstation everywhere. But right now, PS seems like they don't want to commit.

This right here. They’re all saying it. AAA development costs hundreds of millions and it’s a massive risk for them. Very few new games generate new franchises. To be able to recoup potential loses is a win for everyone as this mitigates elements of risk and drives creativity.
In essence, if you want new IPs they need to generate other forms of income. We know how loathed loot boxes are....

Yup, those 2 billion gamers Phil was talking about are mostly mobile gamers. Good luck with xCloud as the vast majority of people don't really care about such a service. Starting from the US it seems most people have capped internet, which makes cloud gaming even more ridiculous.
This will ease the transition for PlayStation ahead of the curve from the antique 86x architecture to ARM for future PS6 when more companies shift to give ARM more serious hardware, aka the future PC gaming as well.
Yup, that what makes me happy. When Sony has more money it's only a good thing for gaming, unlike others.

I'm sure any other manufacturer name in the same thread title would have led to exactly the same comments. Mobile has always been what "smart and successful" gaming companies invest into. Gears Pop was universally acclaimed here on GAF.
