Sony Ericsson remains “unconcerned” over initial lacklustre sales of PSOne titles on Xperia Play.
Five classic PlayStation games are currently up for grabs on the Android Marketplace, though figures reveal that individual sales for each title have yet to break the 1,000 barrier.
Despite this, Sony Ericsson’s head of market development, Dominic Neil-Dwyer, has said the company is chuffed with how things are progressing for Xperia Play, noting the device is “shaking up” the mobile market.
"I think there’s also an awareness thing for people that are getting their hands on the device and where they are choosing to purchase games," he told PlayStation Lifestyle.
"There’s only a few, at the minute, PlayStation One titles there, and there’s more coming on a regular basis, and there’s the whole PlayStation as a content provider exclusive to the device, the story about that, that will emerge and people will see.
"So, there’s no concerns, it’s a revolutionary device, it’s shaking up the market, we’re very pleased with it. In terms of getting the PlayStation Certified program out, generally, we’re very happy. I think we’ll make a full assessment of if it has achieved our expectations fully, further down the line, so we’re very happy."
