I hope its a handheld that can play downgraded PS5 and PS4 games instead of only handheld games made for it. What drew me to the switch was that it is just one main console that can be portable, and same with the Steam Deck of it playing the same copies of my PC games in handheld.
This seems like the only way it has a shot. I don’t know that PS5 games are necessary, but PS4 absolutely are. Make it a portable PS4, and there is a real market there. The only downside is, it wouldn’t work with PS4 discs, which would limit sales to existing digital only owners. Also, it would be on a system without a significant new game in site. The library is 99% done. There isn’t a must play on the horizon to market. You have to hope the existing exclusives is enough.
Honestly, I talked myself out of it. It is a bigger risk than I initially thought.

So much this. They’ve only had that figured out since the TurboExpress in 1990.
