    I’m honestly surprised that no other phone manufacture has gone the Xperia Play route and just made a gaming cellphone. I mean all these handheld emulation devices show that there’s a market for emulation on the go and everyone needs a cell phone now, so why has there only been one phone that combines them?

      The risk of being targeted by lawsuits from Nintendo and/or Sony is likely very high which makes that segment not commercially viable, and that’s also probably why most retro emulation handhelds are made by Chinese manufacturers as China doesn’t really give a fuck.
