I don't know, but I think the Xperia Play thickness comes mainly from nice high-capacity battery... you know such a device will consume a lot while gaming !!
maybe a minimum of 1500mAh ( like Arc ) is required for such a device and I know even 1500mAh is not enough considering how much gaming consumes power !!
the psp go battery is 980mAh ( original was 1800mAh, slim was 1200mAh. but Go has better & newer hardware that consumes less power + more power saving features ), I choosed this coz it is the closest to Xperia Play ( no UMD disc )... in any way even with that there's a lot of differenet... PSP is a device that is built for games, so spec. might not seems high but games are free to use most of it, same as Playstation, XBox, Wii, etc... in non-gaming platform ( PC, mobile phones ) the OS take a lot of hardware resources so you need higher spec. to get the same experience as of a dedicated game console/device...
all PSP's comes with a Sony CPU based on MIPS tech. and works at 333MHz (actually works at lower 222MHz )... compared to 1GHz on Xperia Play. GPU in another hand is another story...
screen resolution is lower same as screen size ( 3.8" in PSP Go )
even with these low spec. compared to Xperia Play rumoured spec.'s the battery life in PSP Go is still low at 3-6 Hours of playing, thats on that much less than Xperia Play hardware...

now i know you say it is specialised gaming device, optimized, etc but i dont believe this, how is this optimized in any hardware spec way? it is qualcomm/adreno ffs, same as HTS desire HD and Desire Z, imo this does not qualify as optimized for gaming. yes you can optimize software to better run on such hardware but you'll hit limits way sooner. for example you can re-map an ECU on a car to get more HP but very soon you'll hit a limit and you have to now buy and add new parts and hardware.
For me this specs for psphone looks like a 2010 spec android phone with gamepad attached, that is all. i was really really hoping for some hardware spec attuned to real gaming. it would be better if

made a gaming device first then added phone support, but this one they have made a normal mediocre android phone then added a gamepad.
Fair enough. Thanks for responding and true, my assumptions are based on some speculation as well. And of course, the more powerful hardware, the better, although power consumption and price are important too.
But, one thing to add that I didn't see anyone mention yet: It is a fact that Google optimized Android 2.3 for gaming, so that games (or any apps) can access the GPU more directly. With the Xperia Play being Android 2.3 out of the box, all of the exclusive games can be optimized much more.

I don`t understand why PSP phone is defined as thick phone?
It have 4" screen, camera with stereo microphones, stereo speakers, slider form factor with dedicated hardware buttons and it`s back curved ergonomically for both hand gaming while it`s just 14mm thick.
IIRC, the Xperia play is 17 mm thick which is quite a lot. I hope this'll let them put bigger battery.

Fact: the Xperia Play is only 14mm thick...which is very thin for a slider.

it would be great if there is a reduced (in size) version of the phone with the same exmor r sensor like a 3.5" version.make it and i am sold.

I don't think that the Xperia arc is the next high-end

image centric device. First, it doesn't have a proper flash(Xenon). 2nd, although 8mp is enough, I'm sure that the next satio will have 12mp or 16mp. 3rd, it seems to me that

is not much advertising its camera capabilities(except for the exmor part) that they didn't bother to put an 8mp logo on its back.
But I'm happy that we can now enjoy exmor and bravia technologies which were japan only before

Ofcourse they should make a new monster cameraphone but please, don't say "New Satio"... It's one of the crapiest devices they ever built. I'm gonna replace mine when the Arc hits the stores!! Acctually, I can give it away for free!! Nokia crap Symbianshit or whatever.... Glad SE is of the Symbian bandwagon...

sadly, spec sheets are what most seem to care about these days. They seem to forget that if the software side of things...
Even with out dual care, bla bla bla, if the software has been implemented properly (ie, written to ensure you get the most of the hardware) theres no reason why phones like the ARC, PSP phone etc cant run smoothly...
Even with the most advanced hardware, if the software isnt right, then that hardware wont work too well!!!
I can't agree more....all this thing used to happen in Computer and now its spread to mobile phone...people just want to get the fastest, greatest spec into the machine but forgotten due to many reason...software might not able to catch up with it.
Who said so ? Did you check the video demo of the Moto Atrix capabilities ? It is so powerful that it has narrowed the gap between a smartphone and a laptop. Dual core is no marketing gimmick. And for those who think it is, let's wait a few months and see if your opinion remains the same or not.
I hope

will launch its dual core phone soon enough and not play the catch up game all over again
ok maybe its too early to tell but lets see how the consumer research show in coming months about the usage of smart phone... I am referring general public not tech savvy community like us. I just feel the power given is too much because day and night...people around me don't use phone's capability to the max...this is common at Asia where phone can be refer to as a "SHOWING OFF" or Stylish accessories.

agree on the flash part although it is impossible to implement a xenon and keep it thin.the fact that they are not concentrating on the exmor r on the arc website worries me ,it gives you the impression that they are not expecting much from the camera.at least for me it's imaging capabilities is more than enough.good luck to you with next satio ,i hope it's great.

have certanly improved their strategy, i am expecting a big 2011.
