Sony Wants To Bring Its PlayStation Games Onto Mobile

Sony’s games are almost exclusive to its PlayStation platform. The company has dabbled in mobile games in the past and even launched devices like the Xperia Play, but it never quite worked out. We’re not sure if maybe it wasn’t the right time or maybe it wasn’t the right games, but Sony wants to try again.

During an investor relations session, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan revealed the company’s plans to bring some of its major PlayStation franchises over onto mobile devices. He cites how the company has had its fair share of success when they brought some titles over onto PC, so moving to mobile will be their next step.

According to Ryan, “PlayStation has a huge catalog of diverse first-party IP that can transition to smartphone gaming and complement our AAA games or live service games. We are exploring the mobile market with some wonderful PlayStation franchises so please stay tuned.” Sony’s franchises include the likes of God of War, Gran Turismo, Killzone, The Last of Us, and more.

We’re not sure how some of these games will be playable on mobile, but Nintendo has adapted some of its franchises to be more mobile friendly, some of which have actually gone on to do quite well, so maybe Sony could do well as well, if not better.

Apple Accused Of Monopolizing Heart Rate Technology For The Apple Watch

While the Apple Watch comes with support for apps, for the most part the watch actually does a pretty good job on its own. The built-in apps that Apple provides already gives us a lot of functionality like tracking our exercise, alarms and timers, and also the ability to read our heart rates.

However, AliveCor isn’t too thrilled by the “monopoly” that Apple has. The company has recently filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple that alleges that the company is engaging in “monopolistic conduct”. Basically it seems that AliveCor isn’t happy that Apple doesn’t not include third-party heart rate analysis for the Apple Watch, which they feel has harmed the company, patients, and consumers.

This stems from AliveCor’s KardiaBand, a third-party accessory that could double as an ECG. However, Apple later debuted their own ECG tool in the Apple Watch along with their own set of notifications, and AliveCor claims that Apple changed the functionality of watchOS to “sabotage” the KardiaBand and other competing heart rate analysis apps so that it would not work or be as accurate compared to Apple’s own offerings.

This is actually not the first time that AliveCor has taken issue with the Apple Watch. Earlier this year, the company had approached the US ITC in hopes of getting the Apple Watch banned over its ECG feature where they claim that Apple had infringed upon their patent.
