Sony Mobile Playstation doesn’t even have the same titles available on Android/iOS which shows how unprepared they are.

Sony would need a string of hit mobile titles based off their popular IP along with hefty production/marketing budgets in order to stand out from the usual mobile offerings all while not stepping on the toes of their core audience.

That’s a big ask for Sony.

Steam will never go mobile it’s too PC focused & if you thought the Playstation backlash was rough the Steam userbase would go nuclear.

Xbox could and would have the best chance of succeeding but MS is so internally conflicted, I doubt they could focus long enough on mobile to make it happen.

Their own cross console/pc Xbox Anywhere initiative is a good idea but woefully executed, there isn’t even an Xbox Anywhere section in the Windows or Xbox store fronts plus only Microsoft funded games are doing it no third parties.

They should bring back Xbox Live Arcade brand and use that to extend the Xbox community into mobile. MS has Minecraft one of the biggest mobile titles and it’s not even connected to Xbox in any way other than when you run it on an Xbox which is madness.
