Sony announced it's new gaming phone the xperia play not too long ago, and it's generating some hype. Yes, it supports original playstation titles and is an interesting piece of technology incorporating gaming and phones, But, is it pushing phone features too far? Is gaming on your phone something we really need? We already have people concentrating on their phones too much while driving.
We already have people texting while driving. It seems we see it very often. Someone not watching while driving, and they are swerving between lanes. We pull up next to them at a red light. They are looking at their lap, not the road. Sometimes, shockingly, with a kid in the car. So, is serious gaming on a phone a great idea? Maybe it really isn't.
Think about it this way. If we already have people texting while driving, do you really think people won't drive while attempting to play a game on their phone? The sad truth is, thinking about it, it's very likely. Someone may favor creating their sackboy in a portable version of Little Big Planet over watching the road. These people who would come to have these phones may be a danger to themselves and others on the road.
So, what's your opinion? Is the xperia play another great piece of gaming technology or a danger to the road?
