MODERATORS
Handhelds exist right now that can play the PS5 pc ports of games pretty well, they’re just not that cheap. Sure, Sony could have had a handheld that plays PS4 games natively, but it probably would have cost more than the PS5 and with a terrible battery life.
Whenever Sony launches a PS6, I imagine PS4/5 capable mobile chips will be cheap enough for Sony to sell a handheld at the same price if not less than their home console. Then you can just use streaming to play PS5 Pro or PS6 games (and beyond) remotely.
I believe we got the portal as a stop-gap to discourage users from just buying steam decks (which I did) and migrating to steam, but I think a dedicated Sony handheld, with all its haptics and build quality, would be a hell of a device for people with an extensive PS library such as myself to own. I bought my deck (and will keep it) to play retro treasures that aren’t easily available on console, but would more than likely buy a new Sony handheld over a Deck 2 in the future.
