It´s not even true in developed countries. There aren´t many people that are going to spend 500 bucks on a gaming console.
PSN has 94 million monthly active users, PS4 sell in at 96.8 million

There used to be a mod of the Remote Play app, but the guy who made it stopped working on it so now there is no way to get Remote Play without using Magisk (requires root) and you still won't be able to use a controller.
PS3 disappeared (they stopped producing it) 3 years later when people stopped buying it.
Only 3M till 100M.
So crazy to think it will pass the lifetime sales of PS1 sometime this year, a true accomplishment.

Not if it's sold as a low cost entry/streaming box - plus developing markets usually snap older gens up.
(Caveat: I don't think they can get the price down low enough)

What's more impressive is that PS4 still costs 300 bucks, PS2 and 3 were all much cheaper during their 6th year.
That's absolutely not the reason, it's a business decision to push their own phones.
To really temper the expectations we need to look at the whole console gaming platform. How many units are we at across all the key players. Then we will know what the TAM is and if the market has grown or shrunk.
Pretty much lie because Sony activetely took down remote play from android store when it was working perfectly on all devices.And mobile app development isnt done like console game development. You just do layouts for device sizes and be done with it
This was Sony XPeria APK for android devices come out on 2013. Sony then activetly blocked these since 2016.
Here's an interesting question to y'all: can yo move the world's biggest ship with the power of 97m PS4 fans?
I know historically that's been the case but I'm talking about going forward. During their investor relation event they put a pretty heavy emphasis on remote play being an important feature on multiple devices and Android phones were included in the image. Of course they had the footnote that it was currently on Xperia only, but there's every reason to believe that will expand to more Android devices going forward.
UUntil the app is literally on my phone and working, I don't trust anything they say.
I refuse to believe it has taken them YEARS to develop a fucking phone app for remote play.
It is an active decision not to either develop the app or release the app purely for business reasons. It's on their own android phones for years. They know what they are doing.
I'm not giving them credit. They hold the app hostage as a bulletpoint for their line of phones. Simple as that.
