In a promo video for the S1 and S2 tablets Sony shows off how the gaming interface will look like on the new tablets. Guess what you will have Playstation buttons. Of course they are software buttons, but it looks cool. The S2 with its two 5.5-inch screens actually competes directly with the Nintendo DSi. Looking at the Sony S1, S2 and the NGP together, than Sony will have a very strong gaming device line-up this holiday season.

Sony will take Android games to the next level with these three devices. Remember that Sony said that the Sony NGP supports Android based games.

Why is this important:
The iPad and iPhone are seen to gain market share in the video game market. Sony and Nintendo need to act. It looks like Sony's gaming experience will help them sell tablets and counter the gaming trend on the Apple devices.

You can watch the Sony Promo video that got uploaded several times to Youtube below.
