Check out the GPD Win 4. Pricy as hell and runs windows but it’s pretty small compared to most current “handhelds” and has more power than most of the competition still. Even looks like a modern PSP or PS Vita, albeit not quite as compact but pretty close compared to say an ROG Ally or Steam Deck, or even a Switch.
The stupid Jim comment was funny, and how there's already three things called PSP. Since the Steam Deck exists I don't see the point of this. Unless they give a great reason to get it, I'll probably ignore it.
Exclusives thats it also the Steam Deck is catered for the different market like hardcore or tech savy people meanwhile the Switch and PSP3 is for casual plug and play people with exclusives Portable that is not a Deck sells well because of exclusives
@@dxtremecaliber Steam deck has more exclusives than Switch or PSP3 will. As in, a lot of games are playable on Steam Deck that aren't on either of those. Also Steam Deck is very plug and play. People can mess with it if they want but absolutely do not have to.
The main issue is that the PC handhelds can do all PS emulation "at your own risk/quality" along with native PS4 era games. Where the PS5 does not and/or at arguable quality outside the 4. The portal is a really cool added value for people who already enjoyed remote play since early PS4 days, but if the PS5 could run all PS games, it would be lot more valuable experience, especially when modern games are always less appealing, and people searching for old 1-3 ones.
I can just remote play on my ps vita with my remote play grip. It's modded so I downloaded a plugin a while back that forces remote play controls (l2,r2,l3,r3) to be mapped on the back touchpad. Without that plugin, some games use the front touchscreen for l2,r2,l3,r3.
Would be nice but it sounds like they have to pull themselves together in many ways first from what I've been hearing lol. On another note, how've you been Zuvi-nee? Hope all is well, always cool seeing you post/upload.
With the Steam Deck and Switch and the next Nintendo being a thing, Sony would be entering a very difficult market. It’d be like pushing a boulder up a steep hill.
I think they'll also want to push their PS+ subscriptions (in addition to sales). That console will probably be able to use the cloud streaming service and/or premium benefits of playing the retro ps1-ps2-ps3 library.
@@Vulpas Steam Deck isn't really pocketable, so not really ''portable'' in a true way that really matters for a lot of people. If you need a backpack to transport it, might as well bring a gaming laptop.
@@Vulpas Fair point. I guess there are several categories of ''portable'', with pocketable being one of them and the only one that matters for some people. I think there is considerable demand for a modern pocketable gaming device right now.
@@TheEngine-gw2vs Yeah, I agree, someone could swoop in with a small device but I think only Nintendo is willing to skimp on power and therefore size, and even theirs are big now
I think Sony would do better just porting old first party games to Switch/Switch 2. Then there wouldn't be any hardware overhead. Sony seems to think new hardware is what they need to revitalize sales, but I know a lot of people who still play on their PS4. PSVR2 came and went. PS5 has been out what, 3 years, and there are rumors for a PS5 Pro like that would do anything. Games. People buy consoles for games! Sony used to have games!
🤔 Yeah this rumor sounds fishy. I never owned a PSP, so I never connected with the handheld. Neat concept, but they have to figure out their audience Price. Storage. Hmm. Not sure how this works out, this time
IMHO Sony has a brighter future with portable gaming than home consoles. As long as they pack in external display output like Nintendo did. There will be a big competitive market for two to three portable console makers. At the moment there’s space for one more big one. Nintendo, Valve and [Sony, Apple or Xbox]. Doubt Xbox can pull it off anymore. Apple needs real gaming standard built in controls.
they just feel it will magically have good games imo sony is an investment company not a game company no more so eh I will not buy a new console when several years of a good games come out but as of now I have given up hope
Drop support mid way through handheld lifeline? Make a console for the sole reason of selling movie media? LGBT characters in every video game? Censorship?
Well, in fact, Logvinov now has nothing with real journalism, He just spread mostly fake news. Here in Russia, Anton is more like a walking meme. Taking his words seriously is the biggest mistake.
Interesting, but Sony burned its bridges by dropping support for Vitas so early, and going woke too, so I would've been interested too, but now I'm definitely not. I'm barely even curious about Switch 2 anymore, looking more forward to Steam Deck 2.
Would be nice to have an actual portable gaming device that fits in my pocket or bag easily.

Still have almost 300 physical games for vita
I want a clam shell that fits in your pocket and has 8+ hours of battery. The wide screen, and modern graphics aren’t my thing for a handheld

Genuinely, how many people have bought and regularly use the PlayStation Portal? Does Sony even report sales data for it?
Apparently the Portal did well for a peripheral. Not a handheld though.
if this sells in america it will SELL

Sony will be just a publisher soon, there'll be no PS7 certainly or any hardware probably.
I'm still surprised that people are excited for a new PSP when Sony's games aren't being received well nowadays
they just feel it will magically have good games
imo sony is an investment company not a game company no more so eh I will not buy a new console when several years of a good games come out but as of now I have given up hope
Plus after Vita was mishandled there's no way I'd invest in another unsupported Sony handheld.
It's all hype. People remember the days of the PSP fondly and they do not really think too much past that. In reality, those days are long past.
They just need to get the vaio team back together and make a bad ass PC handheld! Sony still does what ninten don’t
I remember the vaio pcs were really bad

@@scramble45 idk, nothing bud bad experiences out of sony laptops
Even if it is true, it'll probably be overpriced and have no decent games worth playing on it.
And of course it'll have proprietary memory cards again, unlike Steam Deck and Switch. Sony can't help themselves.
