Xperia Play won’t support Ice Cream Sandwich
Sony Mobile has announced that it will not be releasing a build of Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich – for the Xperia Play. The company’s flagship gaming phone apparently couldn’t be made to support “a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming”. Android 4.0 will roll out across the rest of the Xperia range this week – but none of those have a proper D-pad installed. Woe.
Thanks, That VideoGame Blog.

Quick quotes: Vita a “premier product” compared to development-friendly Xperia Play, says Sony
“The Xperia Play – it’s the PlayStation Suite on the developer side – is designed to allow for smaller game types, mobile game types, to include PlayStation content. Those more engaging experiences, the ones that allow you to affect the world around you and the world affects your gameplay, will only be available on Vita. The Vita is the premier product in that portfolio, where it has the biggest and best franchises, as well as the smaller pick-up-and-play games. It has so much range and diversity of content, and that’s where Vita is really going to shine.” – Sony’s John Koller, speaking to IG on why Play and Vita are on the market at the same time.
Vita launches in the west on February 22.

PlayStation Suite SDK makes cross-platform content easy
Game developers, listen up. Sony’s putting the finishing touches on a present for you, and we think you should act grateful. Revealed at Tokyo Game Show, the new PlayStation Suite SDK does pretty much what it says on the tin – it’s a Software Development Kit for both PS Vita and Android OS, meaning you can create twice the games in half the time.
