New PlayStation handheld powered by AMD is in development: Wccftech

[Koba St]

After how the Vita was handled please leave the handhelds to Steam Deck and copycat devices. Focus on home consoles.

I think we can all confidently say Sony will do the exact opposite of anything you say. Thankfully

As someone who own a vita hes got a point they dropped support way to early homebrew kept it relavent

And I think we can all confidently say after watching Sony abandon the Vita they need to stick to what they do well. Mind you they abandoned it and other companies were still supporting it.

The Steam Deck and it's copies as well as the Switch work because they are the same games on the TV or monitor that they are on the go. You can't make a portable PS5. It will be a separate device with it's own software. The market doesn't need that.

The PSP didn’t die for this

Man if yall buy anything from PlayStation but a PlayStation console you just like being abused.

Portal is a streaming only device.

It's not a standalone game player.

It's not even really streaming as much as it's a remote play device. They could have added it all into one device. Even the PSP allowed remote play and playing games natively.

The Vita is a good handheld. Where they fukked up is in two places:

1. The proprietary memory cards. That was a straight cash grab that no one had interest in. Just let me pop some SanDisks for thirty bucks a pop in there.

2. The back touchpad. It was an awful way to add L2/R2 and they needed to scrap that in the design phase.

It was also at the point where dedicated handhelds were struggling and needed some serious innovation, and I'm not talking about a 3D slider. Even the 3DS struggled. I really do think the Switch saved handhelds, and it did so by not being a dedicated handheld and instead being a hybrid system.

If the vita had L/2 r/2 id still use it for remote play tbh.

Good thing is you can jailbreak any firmware now and use regular micro SD cards I believe.

That’s what I meant. It’s strictly a remote play device. Another screen albeit bigger

I think this is reasonable analysis. I think where we might disagree is that there's enough of a market of people who a) want a handheld and b) are already in the Sony ecosystem who c) didn't get either a Switch or a Steam Deck, which I think you'd need to make this work. But you might be right because I'm going off a hunch and not market surveys or anything like that.

I got the ROG Ally, it has Steam and Gamepass, but I’d cop a PlayStation handheld for that Spider-Man 2 and GOW 2 piff that’s missing on pc.

Sony feeling the resugence of gaming handhelds?


Can't wait for Steam Deck 2. I'm going in.

You know how much a handheld system that can run Spidey 2 nativley is gonna cost? No way Sony is making something that high end for the handheld market.
