Sony made a decision to cancel their plans to upgrade their Xperia Play gaming smartphone to Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich.
The reason: all the negative feedback from carriers, developers and owners of the Android 4.0 test build.
According to a Sony statement, the decision was made "after extensive in house testing with developer teams" and "working with partners."
"We have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich."
No Ice Cream Sandwich delivery
Sony initially planned on pushing out the upgrade between late May and the beginning of June.
ICS beta ROMs for unlocked Xperia PLAY devices were given the opportunity to test the OS prior to its official upgrade launch.
This, however, resulted in some serious issues among owners.
The most notable problem Sony took issue with was that the gaming stability of the device was compromised, which just won't due for the electronics company.
"We look to ensure a quality gaming experience with games optimized and developed for Xperia PLAY," continued the statement.
Sony went on to explain:
"In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich - therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY.
"This decision was also verified when we received similar feedback from the developer community; both experienced developers and advanced users, along with game content providers following our ICS beta ROM for unlocked Xperia PLAY smartphones.
"Our priority has and always will be, to provide the best possible user experience on Xperia smartphones. In this instance the ICS upgrade would have compromised stability, where we look to ensure a quality gaming experience with games optimized and developed for Xperia PLAY"
