At the moment the only mobile devices that have received PlayStation certification from Sony, are their own devices, and now it looks like this could possibly change later this year. Sony's PlayStation certification program is a cross-platform endeavor that allows PSOne games to be enjoyed on Android smartphones and tablets, a move that will hopefully help Sony expand the brand. If included with the HTC, users would gain access to the PlayStation Store as well as PSOne games.Currently, the PlayStation Certification program only extends to Sony smartphones and tablets like the Xperia Play, Tablet S, and Tablet P. But with those devices failing to capture a mass audience, Sony could be looking to other manufacturers for its certification program. According to a recent report by Pocket Lint, HTC will be one of the first companies outside of Sony that will receive PlayStation certification for certain smartphones. Sony and HTC could possibly announce this new partnership at MWC 2012 later this month, and the first devices are expected to debut in the second half of 2012. This would bring a range of new games to HTC’s Android devices, and if Sony expands the partnership to other manufacturers it could end up being a profitable move for them.
This would bring a range of new games to HTC’s Android devices, and if Sony expands the partnership to other manufacturers it could end up being a profitable move for them. Since HTC refuses to "comment on rumors or speculation" all we can do is wait and see. Sources suggest we will see the certification awarded in the second half of 2012.
