It's beyond retarded they make a subset of their stuff that (even in its entirety) relatively nobody will buy compatible with the devices everyone has been buying instead for the last few years. Mono isn't even a serious choice for games outside of Unity3d because Xamarin charge so much it's not worth it unless you have a mountain of existing stuff to port.

Sony had some other certification program previously as well and even made a nice little psp phone on top of Android but they just let the whole concept rot last time.

Edit: you can browse all ~60 games released under this new initiative here - http://us.playstation.com/ps-products/BrowseGames?&sortOrder...

It's still the same initiative/system, the Sony Ericsson Play was the first Playstation Certified Android phone.


Mono's price is a rounding error in most software projects.

It is only an issue for hobby developers.
