Will the Nexus 7 get Playstation Mobile?

[Chappie]

Been out of the Android game for a while, so forgive me if this is a silly question, but seeing as this is Google's big tablet push to lure consumers away from the iPad and a tablet they consider to be a "gaming tablet" (pretty sure that's how I saw it phrased), is it likely to assume that the Playstation Mobile suite is coming soon? If so, that pretty much puts me over the edge of buying one, though it's likely I buy one now as it is.

I don't think they are pushing it as a gaming tablet, but that's just my opinion. I think they see it more as a portable media consumption device (with media from the Play Store), with the ability to run the full compliment of apps and games from the Play store.

Anyway, seeing as Sony has their own devices, I doubt you would see PlayStation on a Google tablet. I'm think the same way Windows Phone has Xbox 360 stuff integrated into it.

Sony actually does offer Playstation certification for third party devices (several of the recent HTC One phones are certified) but it seems like the certification might not be necessary to run the suite. I'm not 100% sure though.

The HTC One's inclusion was my rationale for this, and since the app is already configured for tablet use in some way (Sony's tablets can run it I believe) it would make sense that the Nexus 7 could as well.

It was reported recently that some Asus tablets will be getting PlayStation mobile, possibly the nexus 7.

It's only for the ASUS Transformer tablets though. Doubt the Nexus 7 will be included.

It would be nice if PlayStation Mobile showed up on the Nexus 7, but I'm not expecting it to. Then again, I have the Sony Xperia ion and from what I've seen, there aren't a lot of titles to choose from. I haven't bought anything yet. Thinking about getting Cool Boarders 2, though. Used to be my game back in the 90's.
