Powerful
>>736338175I have 0 interest on a portable device unless I can also install a local streaming client app so I can stream my games from my PC to the device. This handheld probably will do the job of a PSPortal too so they're halfway there but Sony is too stupid to see the value of letting us stream games from our PC too.
if it doesn’t have a back touchpad I’m not buying
>>736338175This shits gonna self immolate if it ever gets a game.
I still can't believe Sony and Microsoft convinced themselves that the reason the Switch succeeded was because it was a handheld and not become the system developer supported it with a strong library of games that customers couldn't get on other platformsIt's not like they invented the idea. It's as old as video games themselves
>>736338175So it's going to be a huge (literally) piece of shit meant to play regular games at lower resolutions and framerate. I want my handhelds back.
>>736338175shit > piss
what are they going to make it from??? you can't make jack shit at scale while ai slop is devouring all hardware.
>>736338175Have we confirmed that there’s any market for a handheld version of a MS or Sony style console? Switch sells for a variety of reasons that don’t seem to carry over.
>>736338602AI slop ain't what it used to beThe war is making venture capitalists rethink things. Giving Open AI $50b to see if they can revolutionize indoor parkour or whatever doesn't seem like as good of an idea as it did when money was freeData centers are getting cancelled and public companies are relying on stunts like AI in space to try to lure investors back in. It's looking rough out there
>>736338175Unless they just completely capture the same magic as the PSP I'm not remotely interested.Plus I'm sure they'll have some retarded anti consumer DRM or some shit like the switch 2 has
>>736338559>strong library Lol
>>736338691Sony at least has some history in handheld so they'll make something decent.
>>736338175series s win because has games
It needs to be as powerful as a base PS5 so developers can just get away with making PS5 games for the next decade.
Hahaha imagine the cost
>>736338559it plays ps4 games
>>736338864It'll be a slightly weaker PS5 but portable which will be enough to run PS5 games. Its the same formula they used for PSP after PS2.
Are they really going to release new consoles in this market?They'll be like 800 dollars minimum.
>>736338781Not even a tendie but if you don't think the switch has a library of solid exclusives (especially compared to Sony) then you're fucking retarded and I'm not comfortable enabling your public humiliation fetish any longer
>>736338695two more weeks
>>736339342Switch is just wii u ports and multiplat
>>736338175Complete with a 90 minute battery life.
>>736339105>Now, Kepler has written in a new post on the NeoGAF forums that the GPU within Sony's PS6-generation handheld is "a bit ahead of XSS in raster (and ofc massively ahead in RT/PT)." Adding, the new handheld will also come with Sony's AI-powered upscaler, which would presumably be a version of PSSR, likely PSSR 3.>Sony is currently calling the PS6 handheld "Project Canis", and leaked specifications indicate that it will be rocking 4x Zen 6c cores, 2x Zen 6 LP cores, 16x RDNA 5 CUs, 192-bit LPDDR5X (24GB), and a 135mm2 TSMC 3nm chip. According to Kepler, this device will outperform the Nintendo Switch 2, and depending on the AI upscaling performance, will beat out competing Microsoft handhelds such as the Xbox ROG Ally X. Kepler writes that Sony's new version of PSSR for the handheld will even be better than DLSS 4.5, which NVIDIA only announced at GTC 2026.>"Switch 2 only has DLSS 2 (CNN) and some games even use the worse 'DLSS Lite.' FSR5/PSSR3 will be better IQ than even current DLSS 4.5," continued KeplerL2For reference a PS5 has a Zen2 8 core, RDNA2 36 CU and 16GB of GDDR6.So the PS5 has more raw horsepower but is a lot older technologically and also has less (though faster) memory. So yeah PSP vs PS2 in terms or relative performance and better than the Switch 2.
>>736338982Sony can take a loss for higher software sales
>>736339759So, lasting the intro cutscene of every PS4 exclusive.Nice
>>736339852The software will have to do some heavy lifting because of the power constraints. Probably limited to 10W in handheld like Switch 2.
>>736339997About 15W apparently but due to more modern silicon being used as well as specialised low power parts those watts go further than on a PS5. It should be quite a beast for a handheld.
>>736338175Why does Sony do this? They have really innovative products, but a new handheld is gonna bomb
>>736340251>They have really innovative productssuch as?
>>736340251>but a new handheld is gonna bombWhy
>>736340251>Why does Sony do this?Huh
>>736338175Yeah, just for $700
>>736338559Valve cracked the code with their Steam Hardware starting with the Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame, and the eventual next gen Steam Deck of 2028. As you said, the key is a robust first-party line-up of games that show the capabilities of the hardware as tech demos and killer apps, some Valve is currently working on. Sony and Microsoft stopped giving a shit years ago and just feel their garbage hardware should cost up to $700-$1200 while releasing crapping games to boot and forcing subscription services down your throat with $80 games to boot.
>>736339910How much of a loss are they willing to take?
>>736338175oh another VITA 2 - 100% DOA
>>736338982Pic related's chipset isn't as good as the Series S at all but it's better than the Switch 2's. Even your pic's chipset isn't as good as the Series S so I have no idea how Sony can grab something that's more powerful and way cheaper. Even with Sony's PSN Store subsidies and PSSR/FSR 4.1 over FSR2/3, I don't see it reaching Series S performance at 20W TDP. Maybe 30W TDP or docked I guess? Still doesn't address the price unless AMD has some giga powerful and cheap chipset they haven't released yet
>>736339910Since there is no competition, Sony will not subsidize that loss and will expect you to pay a high price regardless, because you have no choice.
>the world is so dire they have to ship consoles with screens in them because no one has the space for a TV in their studio closet
>>7363396122017 was nine years ago
>>736338175I don't know the internals of anything. Does that mean PS2-4 games on the go?
>>736343096Nah, it will play PS4-5 games. It also play PS6 games in poor graphic settings - 20fps
>portable that will not have any exclusives, will only play PS5 and PS4 games, digital only, and likely $700, $600 at minimumLiterally more DOA than the Vita was
>>736338467Sounds perfectly safe then.
>>736342389The price of the go s hasn't gone up because it's all leftover stock. No one buys portable PCs
>>736343418>No one buys portable PCszamn...even mei wanted to buy the go s, but ive been scouring fb market place because its too expensive otherwise, basically just waiting at this point to have enough money to not feel like a loss
>>736339910Sony will run into the same problem that Microsoft did. AMD will want a contract for 10 million units, Sony will refuse after the Vita nightmare, and it will become overpriced as hellAlso, zero chance Sony subsidizes it themselves. The percent of people who will own one of these and not a PS5 or PS6 will be very small. It's just going to be a pump and dump enthusiast device like the ps5 pro was
>>736343308lol
Steam Deck 2 will be out by the time this shit comes out. How desperate are you to buy a PS6 and play what? God of Wars Re-re-remakes?
>>736343418Well, I have a steamdeck, so I don't need another one. BTW, I do love my steamdeck. I would preorder Steam Deck 2 right away.
>>736338175It needs to run PS6 games so it'd be concerning if it was weaker than the current gen.
what games are even worth playing on a ps6? Their exclusives are just slop like nu god of war and intergalactic
