The Xperia Play was supposed to be the device opening the North American market for the company. It would hopefully would give Sony Ericsson nice sales figures in the US. Sony Ericsson has not revealed any sales figures, but analytics think the Xperia Play sold less than expected.

The introduction of a refurbished Xperia Play 4G now with HSPA+ for AT&T could lift the sales figures slightly. It will be available online and in AT&T stores 10 days from now, on September 18Th. At the launch of the original Xperia Play, 50 game titles was PlayStation Certified and they utilized the game controls. Today when the Xperia Play 4G was announced, this number has increased to 150 game titles.
