mount#3
ソニーがps4と連動可能なスマートフォン・タブレットを発表しました。連動の仕組みにも関わるため,先に気になった単語を取り上げます。単語は"mount"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版(三省堂)』に「(器具などの)取り付け台」というものがありました。この器具により,ps4のコントローラーとスマートフォンを接続し,ゲームで遊ぶというものです。
ソニーのスマートフォンシェアは,昨年度を見ると,3.9%から3.1%に低下しております。他社が持っていないゲームという強味をスマートフォンの中でつかう考えだと思います。(Ume)
Sony Z3 phones and tablet stream PlayStation 4 games
Sony's latest smartphones and tablets can stream PlayStation 4 video games.
Owners will be able to attach the new devices to an existing PS4 controller via a special mount to play titles powered by the console's processors.
Until now this "remote play" facility had only been offered to the firm's PlayStation Vita handheld console.
Experts said the feature should help Sony's kit stand out from Android rivals at a time when competition is intensifying.
But despite the popularity of the PS4, they added, the move was likely to have only a slight impact on sales.

The mount for the PS4 controller is due to be released in November
The Japanese company also unveiled a new smartwatch and a fitness tracker at a press conference in Berlin, ahead of the start of the Ifa tech show.
The launches come a month after Sony cut its smartphone sales forecast by 14% for this financial year, saying its original figure was too "optimistic".
The firm's global handset market share has slipped from 3.9% to 3.1% over the past year, according to research firm IDC, as Chinese rivals have made gains.
