Looking forward to see if this materialises. It would be good news for WP

Personally I can't see this happening due to the whole PS4 vs Xbox One. Would Sony really want Xbox content on one of their own devices I don't think so. 2014 Sony are likely to push on even stronger with Android and incorporate more PS4 exclusives in Xperia devices.

nothing stops them from doing BOTH.
Remember Sony still makes a LOT of Laptops, and hybrid tablets like the Sony Flip 13/14/15 running Windows. Thus Microsoft is already a platinum strategic partner for Sony, and with Microsoft going BIG this year with Windows plans for smartphones and tablets this may be inline of Sony's efforts.

I just think that Sony will at least for this coming year focus on Android. There is now doubt Windows mobile is gathering pace I just can't see them using a rival platform when it comes to mobile gaming I know this is a small part of what make a smartphone but it is something both Sony and Microsoft will be focusing on with their respected smartphones and do you think Microsoft will allow Sony to port any Playstation mobile games onto their platform as that is probably what Sony will want as a stand out feature against Nokia who as we all know are now owned by Microsoft who will not want to dent Nokia's sales.

We''ll see soon enough. There are a lot of other reports about the same subject all over the tech sites. I just hope they improve their camera performance if they do produce a WP handset.
Happy New year all

Exactly.
Any Sony machine running Windows 8.1/RT can run Xbox smart glass...

Best of luck to them, they'll need it!
I can already see some Esatonians who once wrote off WP suddenly change their tune just because Sony makes/may make WPs
I wonder if Sony will make any sort of major impact though in WP, IMO, no, but this will be interesting to watch.
