But i thought Sony always wins

58hz screen makes it worthless for emulation

I have no idea. Best phone I've had in my life and I would still use it if it hadn't died.

shitty phone + shitty emulation + released as the iPhone came out and changed the entire market.

Sony should stick to making TVs and Hi-Fi equipment.

This was released 4 years after the first iphone lad

I only ever saw one person in my entire life with one of these phones. Everyone I knew already had a PSP and a phone or just a phone and didn't want a PSP.

When did this release by the way? If it was late in the lifespan of the PSP then it's clear why it didn't sell well.

Because PSP / DS started to become more mainstream

Sony TVs are okay, but fuck, they are overpriced as fuck.

Also they are losing market to gooks.

Some of their phones are decent

I loved mine. Portable KoF2002 machine that could be folded up to look like an adult phone when I wanted to appear adulty

Being locked to two carriers didn't help.

Did it? I never had one but it looked awesome when it came out.
The only problem I can imagine would be battery life when it came out, everything else looked pretty fucking sweet.

>i fell for the xperia meme
it still was comfy as fuck

It was 10/10 for GBA and SNES emulation.

>>340334025
I had one.
it was pretty underpowered even at launch, the phone itself was way too thick, and sony's UI was pretty laggy

it was great for gba/snes emulation though, but nothing too special aside from it

>10/10 for GBA and SNES emulation.
Yeah if you enjoy either slower gameplay with distorted audio or screen tearing.

>>340334025
shit hardware and virtual analog sticks are retarded.

>>340334025
