We’ve reported on it a few times in the past but it seems that the Playstation phone rumours just won’t go away.

Reuters are reporting that Sony Ericsson could even have a project team put together to develop a Playstation-based phone as early as next month.

In the past there have been stumbling blocks with the development of the Playstation phone due to Sony not allowing Ericsson to use the Playstation brand. It seems though as this might be about to change.

It would definitely make sense for this concept to go ahead, not just because Sony Ericsson has successfully used the Walkman and Cybershot brands successfully in mobile phone handsets in the past, but also because a mobile phone would be the perfect platform for a download-only games platform similar to that of the impending PSP Go.
