Opera is on Sony phones, TVs, media players, etc. Sony even openly admitted that their PSP (Netfront) browser was “nothing special”.

And Nintendo is Japanese. So is KDDI, a major customer of Opera, and the second or third largest operator over there.

@Mark this still doesn’t explain why Opera is on some of sony’s phones.

Isn’t Nintendo also a Japanese company?

As much as I would also love to see the PS3 (and perhaps even the PSP) make a move to Opera, that will NEVER happen.

one single reason:

Sony is a Japanese company, and so is Access Co, who make NetFront…

Japanese companies would rather fall on their swords than admit a Japanese product is in any way inferior to anything else..
