Whatever they make needs to be able to play PS1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 games
This.

And I don't want it holding back PS6 games.

Sony needs to have dedicated teams for it and offer long-term support. Not, "here's five launch games and we'll see how they do before committing anything further."

The "I want a handheld and am a dedicated PS user" space.
yeah that by itself hasn't really worked before with psp or vita
Don't see it rivaling against those devices, I disagree with the author's title. It will provide an alternative to their own console, same reason why Xbox is doing it. I think it's more to attract the younger crowd that enjoys handheld gaming and hoping they give it a chance. I like the portal but it also requires you to own the console and that is a hard sell.
doing it just to do it is the strategy :francis:

ok this makes me think base ps6 will be around 450-500 dollars

And this handheld will be the “series s” of the line up. Coming in around 300. If this thing can cast/airplay to your tv somehow with low latency, or has hdmi out and allows you to connect to a big screen and play, even better.

If you have a 3-4 year cross gen period, then technically all ps6 games will be ps5 games as well.

Which means handheld will play cross gen ps6 games, along with ps5 consoles. With the emergence of PSSR, I think this will be feasible in 2028

Drop an upgraded version along with ps6 pro, if it does well, 4 years in.

I honestly just hope they keep iterating on the portal, I’d like a portal 2 with back paddles and a oled
Yeah I was telling my friend that yesterday, an OLED portal with back paddles would be a pefect "Portal Pro" or successor. I just hope they don't abandon ideas for an upgraded Portal years from now and just essentially put those features onto a new expensive handheld.
