No seriously, what is the market for this thing? The Playstation is already a dying brand. But its market consists of brain dead normies who want big graphics on the TV.This thing will be overpriced, underpowered, and have zero killer apps. Why would you invest in a second attempt at something you failed at so hard in the past during a time where that investment is a fucking fortune? Will this shit finally put Sony out of business?
>>736575528I will buy it day one.
if it's not pricey and more cucked than the original I'm getting one
Is this just literally the PSP re-released or it's some new portable hardware? If it's the latter, I'm interested in seeing how they handle it - if they learned from the mistakes they made with the Vita it could be something really cool.
>>736575528The whole point of the PSP is that it's an easy to hack device to play pirated video games on. Sony will lock it down and won't improve the hardware, making it completely pointless. I suppose it would be a fresh shell and stick to put old PSP hardware into though. Enjoy your $300 plastic.
look at how many people bought the ps portal even though that was just a wii u gamepad
It will be $1000 and play every ps game at a lower resolution. The library will he huge.
>>736575528LETS FUCJINGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>736575528If it has physical games it will not bomb. I think they should go back to useing the mini CD's to evade the Nand bullshit.
>>736575528i kind of think people saying they want a new psp is a meme but maybe it'll work
It will sell less than 10 million just like every other modern handheld gaming device besides the Switch. The steamdeck already exists, the Switch is carried hard by having actual exclusives, this is going to have 0 relevant exclusives when not even the PS5 has exclusives beyond shit like astrobot? What's the point?
>>736575528Consoles are unc tier now. Portable is the future.
>>736576653This, preferably with video out or a PlayStation TV type companion device.
>>736575528>The Playstation is already a dying brandYeah, the XBox is going to male a comeback!
The only person I had ever seen using their psp/vita is a otome addicted hiki, since thats were a ton of the japanese in market went. I cannot see this doing as well as they hoped on a bigger market. Though with the consumer products being tough with the chip/ram shortage issues, it might have some appeal.
>>736575528So they can sell 40 units and state proudly it sold double what the old psp sold.
>>736575528Tendie sounds scared.
>>736576653Mini discs were kino. Loved me some UMDs and Gamecube minidiscs.
There are a lot of details I'd be interested to learn. Will it play physical games or will it be a digital only device? Would they rerelease physical games or offer through a digital store? Would it still require the proprietary memory cards? Will it be locked down? Might be cool, depending on the answers. I'd love to see a return to pocketable handhelds.
>>736575528>The Playstation is already a dying brand.Can I have a source on that? Because the PS5 is selling as well if not better than the PS4 despite being difficult to buy for the first two-three years it was out.
>>736577381Digital only with a playstation operating system. It's like a series S in handheld form. I doubt they will do something as dumb as the Vita memory cards again especially since the PS5/Pro use a generic m2 drive but have Sony branded upgrades.. Probably SD expansion slots.
idk this board seems to worship the steam deck which is one of the most useless devices ever made
Better than the Portal but will probably cost three times as much
>>736577643a computer is usefula console isn't
>>736577535>Digital only with a playstation operating system.I figured that was the most likely scenario. It makes the most sense for new customers and considers that most third party publishers aren't going to want to do new runs of their old games. Kind of lame for people that have an existing library, though.
>>736577857Whatever you say, PC vegan.
>>736577871this isn't reddit, you can't downvote me, consolecattle
>>736575528What the fuck do you mean what is the point?They're a videogame company, games will come out for the device.I swear everyone is retarded nowadays on this board.
>>736578079Good to know, PC vegan.
>>736577069PSP sold a lot, cretin.
>>736577871you cant do spreadsheets on a consolethey're worthless
>>736578469they're worthless because the console aspect just serves to lock you out of games and functionalityand you're not even getting any value out of it
>>736578469>I bought a Steam Deck to do spread sheetsDaily reminder PC vegans remain the most tech illiterate demographic in gaming fandom.
>>736575597Even if it requires a proprietary SD card? Even after you witnessed them almost immediately drop support for the vita before it had a chance to thrive? Really?
>>736578853you can do that, cattle
>>736575528I would rather just get an Android or Linux handheld for a fraction of the price, where I can do a million more things with it, instead of this closed-off, proprietary piece of shit.
Why would I buy that instead of a Switch or Steam dick??? What cool exclusives does Sony have to offer???
>>736578945Will do, PC vegan.
>>736579145are you underage? do you have anything to add besides the seethe?
>>736575528Emulation, even back in its heyday the PSP was famously easy to jailbreak, 95% of people only bought a PSP to play GBA Pokemon games.
>>736575528Might as well get a switch 2 or a PC handheld.
>>736575528I don't trust modern Sony with a portable. They won't be able to create portable IPs, nor adapt existing ones (good luck adapting movies to a portable form factor lol) and won't be able to get the third party support for low budget fun stuff Nintendo has.
>>736575528>This thing will be overpriced, underpowered, and have zero killer apps.Switch 2>This thing will be appropriately priced, powerful, and be cool as fuck PSP 2
>>736576094how many people bought the ps portal? did they release sales info?
>>736579193I'm 38. I'm calmly discussing vidya hardware. Sorry this offends PC vegans.
>>736579298>calmlyyou're repeating your teenage insult in lieu of saying anything meaningfulbecause you have nothing but your attachment to a corporation
What hardware do they need to run PS5 games at 540p 30fps?
>>736575528>This thing will be overpriced, underpowered, and have zero killer appsSteam DeckSteam Machine
>>736575528...soo what gonna happen to PS Portal? Did they just got fucked up?
>>736579337NTA but chill out, vegan, you're seething.
>>736575528It'll be just a Switch that can run PS5 games on performance mode with bad fps. True portables are dead.
>>736579337It's an effective insult so I repeat it. It's not that complicated, PC vegan. You're acting like I'm pacing around the room right now. I'm reclined and comfy.
if it's cheaper than those chink handhelds it may have a chance
Sony exists to just dump hardware on consoletards with zero games. I can't believe this company is still in business, but they have been wildly successful at it.
>>736579356That thing has been useless since day 1. It's just a Wii U handheld controller. Your phone and one of these controllers can do the same shit it can.
>>736579403yes, that's all you have, insultsbecause there's nothing defensible about consoles anymore, they're just locked down shitboxes that treat you like a childand you're exemplifying that mentality
>>736579272>Switch 2Pokopia sold more Switch 2 units than any other game did.
>>736579454Sorry but I'm not debating PC vegans at the moment.
>>736579339neither of these are currently for sale
>>736579554because you're not competent enough for a debate, console manchild
>>736575528They're chasing the Switch 2, Deck, and emulation handheld markets. That's the point of making a new product like that, to expand into new markets. Plus with chip shortages and the death of moore's law, a handheld console can justify it having worse graphics and weaker specs than the ps5 by saying they needed to use a lower power ARM processor (which also happen to be way cheaper than x86 processors).
Switch 2 piracy is hitting roadblocks so Sony is being kind enough to give us a new portable piracy machine.
>>736579572Then it fits right in with this thread's topic.
If it is cheap enough I'd consider getting one just to play Lumines, Loco Roco, and Ridge Racers again.
>>736579574Reverse psychology doesn't work on me.
SONY doesn't have the same 'hold' over Japs like they used to have for the PSP eraLet's say they release a new PSP, which studios are gonna make games for it?
>>736579709Nintendo
>>736579704it's not reverse psychology, but a statement of factconsoles are worse because they're locked down, they should be an insult to your intelligence but you don't have any of it to be insulted by to begin with
>>736575528I mean I guess I'd rather have this than a chinkheld
can't wait to "play" a movie game while I commute to my japanese salaryman job
>>736579709It is going to play ps6, ps5, ps4, etc games.
I never understood why people liked pads. Always thought they were too big to be handheld but too small to be a proper monitor. Just the right sweet spot of awful.
>>736579776I'm sorry you feel that way.
>>736576653Maybe it could have an external BD drive that plugs in via usb, and you use it to install games to local storage. Then they could make it play PS4 games.
Can we get a Sony portable that emulates PS2 now please?
I'm retarded and poor, so I'm gonna ask Is it realistic for this thing to be cheaper than the PS5 Pro?
>>736579973>another downvoteyou have nothing
>>736579776hoooooly
>>736580030Get a chinkheld.
>>736580030They still make phones, you know.
>>736580031It is going to be the Series S of next gen, so yes.
>>736580031If they want to sell, yeah.
>>736580081>PS2 games without buttonsI enjoy having a good experience personally
They can barely make exclusives for their MAIN platform, what makes you stupid niggers think this'll be any different?
>>736580050Correct, I have nothing, as I am not debating PC vegans at the moment.
>>736580202They also have an official phone controller.
>>736580225you're making empty flag waving posts insteadbecause you have nothing
>>736575528Why would I buy this instead of a used vita or an unpatched switch which I can jailbreak to not only play psp games but also switch games for far cheaper?I would also ask who is this for, but I know nostalgia baited retards will eat this up and but it day one. Millenials, gen xers, zoomers and gen A's tech illiteracy makes me seethe sometimes
>>736580030if you wanted to play ps2 on the go you'd be playing already, it has been viable for over a decade now, even cheap chink handhelds can do it
>>736580283Alright.
>>736575528We don't know enough about this thing to make a call on it, and it's a harder sell than normal too because retro chinkhelds are pretty big right now (I've got two).>look up info on this thing>the source for all info is some "leaker" out of nowhere that states it's basically like a high-powered Switch (dock+undock too) that plays PS5 and below for somehow like $400 when the Portal is basically just a PS controller with a screen and wifi for $250+>no word on if this thing works like a Portal or if it's truly standalone, either>the internet journalistic "cloud" all decided to quote that one leaker and quote each other as though any of it was confirmed>all this being thrown off by hardware costs going up too, meaning even if the leaker was being truthful, there's a chance it's canceled or stripped down anyway>there's also no official announcement of Sony ever planning to make a handheld either, let alone the specs and cost, which makes this leak way less credibleI dunno, I don't think Sony has the gas to make a whole-ass handheld anymore. It'd be cool if they went full-chinkheld and did some kind of normalfag-friendly ""emulation"" handheld that plays all the shit the leaker said, or at least PS4 and older, but I just don't see it. The PSP was a minor flop, the Vita was a huge flop, and the Portal is so niche that I sometimes see them in my local retro vidya store somehow for like $100.As for me, I'm still dicking around with my RP6. Switch games hit different when the battery lasts for more than a couple hours. I need to learn how to wrinkle my brain a bit more and finish configuring the rest of the emulators though.>me when the PSP2's fans kick on playing a PS5 game
>>736580330The thing is this new PS handheld is more likely to get hacked than Switch 2 now that Nintendo has stepped up their security. In case you didn't know, the PS5 hacking scene is very active and gets updated every day. I don't know if it's because Sony carelessly patched thier console or if it's something related to keys leaking a while ago.
>>736575528Post yfw Sony invents a brand new proprietary memory format that will be required.
>>736575528I remember buying a vita for monster hunter, there was no announcement when I bought it but it only made sense that a vita monster hunter would come out, I mean the psp had 4 monster hunter games, surly the vita would get 1… what a fucking disaster and waste of money.
>>736575528>an affordable PS6>bring indies and AA studios back to Sony's platform>bringing back family friendly Japanese and western first-party games from PS1-PS4, PSP, and Vita>Astro Bot>bringing back the gameplay-focused games of PS1-early PS4 and PSP-Vita>the return of Sony's first-party AA games>a shift away from raw performance and towards optimization and efficiency>to compete with Nintendo's Switch 2 and Valve's Steam Deck (2)>to take all power away from SIE west and return it to SIE Japan>to establish a niche for PlayStation so Nintendo and Valve don't squeeze Sony out of gamingSony is basically just doing what Nintendo already did, and what Valve already did and solidifying. Gaming is being split into Nintendo, Sony, and Valve
>>736580367>downvote againyou have nothing
>>736575528I bet it'll be a Switch 2 competitor, probably will run PS6 games at low settings and exclusive games (if they manage to secure any third party). Some kind of Series S + Vita if I had to guess.
>>736580668>the return of Sony's first-party AA gamesthey really should stop shutting down studios then, i bet blue point could've made great AA games
>>736579454>These fucking REEEEEE consoles are locked down REEEEE>all these videgame consoles REEEEEEE do is play videogames REEEEEWhy are PC fags so annoying. We have laptops, bro.
>>736575597Yeah, I will too. Did for the last two handhelds of theirs. First PSP and first PSV.
will sony allow kino or not?
Alright.
>>736580761It'll probably be Team Asobi's playground.
>>736580668If this can return to the smaller budget handheld studios that have been sorely missing since the death of the 3DS I'm all for itBut if not then what's even the point because it'll probably all be stuff that will be multi platformed onto Steam
>>736580785why are you upset that everything is judged through the lens of the majority demographic on this board?being a console is objectively making hardware worse
>>736580849just one dev studio? they can't carry all of sony's development on their back
>>736575528Imagine being mad at more video games. Tendies, everyone
>>736580761Those studios sucked, they want the AA of old, not the woke piles of shit their Xbox-like western branch brought out. They're doing some kind of strategy outsourcing to bring back their PS1-early PS4, PSP, and Vita games without adding any garbage western changes to them. Forgot to mention, the Canis also exist for PS1-PS3, PSP, and Vita native emulation along with native BC with PS4 and PS5, while serving as the PS6 baseline devs must start with for optimization, devs must scale up for Orion, not do the Xbox Series thing of starting with X then scaling down because Microsoft were retarded as always.
>>736580894It's probably enough for a couple AAs. Japan Studio put out a bunch of stuff during PSP/Vita and they still developed games for home consoles.
>>736580869Yeah, the good thing about this is that Canis is being treated as the baseline, not optional. Orion is the optional console.
>>736580801Absolutely not
>>736575528If its a real handheld and not just a "I play console geimu" I will buy it minute 0
>>736580000That would be amazing, but no way its happening with drm online check shit.
>>736580801Nips are in control again, so most likely yes.
>>736575597I'll buy it on the second hand market after everyone realise it's trash and then jailbreak it and then throw it into a draw never to be seen again.
>>736575930Reports go that it's a new handheld to coincide with PS6, so the successor to the Vita. But honestly I doubt that's going to be the real outcome.
Will it come with games?
>>736581774Okay looking it up further, other sources in turn are claiming it's a Playstation Portal 2. So all this shit is with a grain of salt and pointlessness at best.Fuck em, I got Moonlight, Sunshine, and a phone that could remote play if I cared to.
PlayStation are famously the favorite of 3rd party studios so it will no doubt have a lot of games to play. If its under $500 I'll grab one.
would it be any different form old psp?Or is just sony trying to inflate numbers again?I still use my psp 3000 I got in 2010. now we got 3rdstrike port.
>>736581891the Playstation Portal is rumored to get an OLED versionbut the PS6 Handheld is something else, it's a low powered $400 PS6 that can play PS5 games, and certain PS6 games while on the go
>>736582006Either the PS6 isn't what anyone actually thinks it is for the "next gen console", Sony has broken the laws of physics and computing to contain something that powerful in a handheld, or "handheld" is a very, very generous assumption of what's being presented.
>>736581779Astro Bot
>>736582006It's not even theorized to be that. Outside of one leaker somehow knowing all the specs before the thing's even announced, there's literally zero info. We don't even know if this new PSP is real.
>>736575597same but instead of day one I'll wait and hope it flops so it gets discounted like the ps1 classic
>>736582072I hate how people start to speculate retarded hardware that will never be real. you won't even get ps4 level of performance. also portables should not play current AAA. all they do is ruin the expectations of game people can play
okay /v/ros, this thread is all speculation over a pile of bullshit, so what are your favorite psp games, and if you aren't playing on the real deal, your preferred methods of doing sotempted to refurbish my old ass 1001 model but my phone can emulate everything up to 3ds and wii u already so i'm partly considering just getting a controller for that for around the same price point
>>736582115Anything else.
>>736582006I hope it's everything you hope for anon, cause boy does all that sound very improbable. The price, the fact it's suppose to play both PS5 and PS6 games, and somehow portable with a good battery life, sounds very wishful thinking.
>>736582072It'll probably be a Xbox Series S kind of deal. Probably sub 800p AI upscaled as well.
>>736582309uh... Astro's Playroom?
>>736582371...
>>736582072at the very best it'll be the 'eck performance x3
>>736575528>PS6HH will play all PS5/PS6 games at upscaled 1080p/60fps >will be truly portable, not remote play like Portal>will be the cheapest PS6 optionI don't plan on getting one. I'll just get a PS6 home console instead. It'll offer a fuller PS6 experience and I don't care for potability. The PS6HH will probably be as big as the Switch 2 and I thought the Switch 1 was already too big.
It's crazy how PS fans seem to be more excited about consoles that don't exist than games that are releasing soon. Saros comes out this month.
>>736582435>playstation releases their own equivalent to the steam deck but beefier so it doesn't shit itself on the latest games yet still obviously PS-exclusive>steam gets to analyze steam machine and playstation portable 2 and just make steam deck 2
>>736582338It's different, this is the PS6, this handheld is the baseline, from there, the game gets upscaled for the home console, similar to what Valve is doing what the Steam Deck to the Steam Machine, the Deck is the baseline for now until Deck 2. With the Xbox Series S, Microsoft idiotically made the Xbox Series X the baseline and told devs to downscale to the Series S.
>>736582275AC Formula FrontI love building the ACs and allow the game to use it to fight for me. there's some really OP builds
>>736582518Steam Deck 2 is probably going to sit in the middle ground of power in between the Switch 2 and this PS handheld.
>>736575528Man I miss when we had proper handholds instead phoneshit.So many cool games on the psp and ds
>>736582564The hardware simply isn't there for a handheld that is at least more powerful than a PS5.
A Sony handheld could be great...hardware-wise. The problem is that they don't pivot their design philosophies to suit said hardware, they'll just shove weaker versions of their console strategy of the day on it and that's that. PSP had glimmers of hope despite doing this, but it became especially evident with Vita's first party support before it dried up. First party games probably wouldn't be the reason to buy in.
>>736582615Well as others have said this handheld business sounds like a load of speculation and rumors with nothing to actually solidify them. Even the best handheld PCs aren't exceeding PS5 specs, and Sony is not a personal developer of their own hardware. This is AMD tech. AMD isn't putting that level of power in handheld form factor for an affordable or reasonable price point. The means to actually make a PS5 portable that plays games a generation above that physically doesn't exist, and won't for years longer unless it's literally all low settings AI upscaling.
>>736577019If the PS6 is actually happening (feels like smothering the PS5 in the cradle to me, given how long it took to find its footing) it will be completely out of reach financially for most people. Some sort of cheaper portable alternative could sell like hot cakes if the games available are good enough and make people feel like they're keeping up with the future.
Sony hasn't been good at solving cooling issues since the PS3. Every PS console I've owned has had overheating issues at some point and I expect this handheld to be no different.
>>736582660True, it's meant to be weaker than the PS5 but stronger than the Series S. PS5 games on this will be played in a low-powered state which Sony are mandating against devs.
They won't let you dock the PS6 handheld right? cause that would eat into the PS6 itself.
>>736582737That's why PS5 Power Saver exists.
>>736580874No one is upset but you, vegan. Like my console and my laptop.
>>736582771Yes, they will, even the Deck 2 will get a dock boost this time because the Deck 2 is using an off-the-shelf chip.
>>736582739>feels like smothering the PS5 in the cradle to me, given how long it took to find its footing
>>736582881>VGChartz
>>736582761lol not happening
>>736575930>Is this just literally the PSP re-released or it's some new portable hardware?It's new hardware but it's just an updated PS Portal for the PS6 coming out next year.
>>736582881I don't mean saleswise, I mean moving to support a new console ecosystem seems ill advised given how long it took to build up a library, let alone one that takes advantage of the consoles features. Maybe I'm too much of an oldhead and a 2 entries in a blockbuster series per generation is all one can expect these days.
>>736582615Valve doesnt have a chip yet for the deck 2. Unless they luck out and find another semi custom chip that meets their needs, they are going to probably need to look elsewhere since Amd has no interest in developing anything beyond laptop chips.
>>736582275I think I've got a 3000 somewhere, but IIRC we tossed it because it was aging in a ton of different ways and the battery finally bulged too, which would be the last straw. I'm only like 80% sure we threw it away though.Favorite PSP game as a whole is the MHP3rd HD version.Outside of that, I dunno, I just like a nice mix of games, this is what I've got loaded on my RP6.Special shoutout goes to my nigga Neopets Petpet Adventures, it's like Dark Souls for kids and I'm not joking.>everything does way the fuck too much damage to you>it's very possible to die before reaching the first save point>practically everything's a limited resource, including healing>death = title screen>spend money (also limited, you CAN'T farm it AFAIK) for both buying stuff and for leveling up stats>most people will stock up on shit from the shops and then not be able to afford upgrading their stats>yes, leveling a stat isn't just "put money in, get stat" like in soulslikes, no, you buy a ticket to an arena to fight enemies, and if you win you get your stat point>secret shit everywhere that you can easily miss>melee is almost completely unviable because defense doesn't mean much>mages have to be super careful about spending their mana>boobs exist, for some reason, and some are surprisingly bigThe only thing that sucks is that your main character's basically genderless (leaning male because no boobs) when everything else is gendered, so you can't just run around as a cute witch or something, you look like just a straight-up bipedal petpet, which looks out of place compared to everyone else in the game.
what if the new console is a PS2 portable. like literal ps2 so sony can make up numbers and ps2 never stop being the number 1 seller
>>736575528>Sony wanting to make another portable system after they shat the bed harder than diarrhea with the VitaI don't trust Sony with another handheld.
>>736583403personally I trust in the hardware. I would just wait for it to be hacked.
>>736582006>$400Actual crackpot prediction, Switch 2 BoM is estimated to be around $400 and the SoC for this Sony handheld is going to be on a significantly more expensive process while RAM contract prices are continuing to rise.
>>736575528>The Playstation is already a dying brandlol
I cant believe I actually thought this was real.... Idk why companies dont rerelease old consoles. Toy companies reissue old and outdated shit all the time. I guess they just dont seriously make the tech that it uses anymore
>>736583076>given how long it took to build up a library,
>>736577078Lmao. I'm not retarded so i won't bet a bag of crow dick but i HIGHLY dpubt they'll manage over 25 mill lifetime
>>736576776The steam deck is irrelevant, it only sold 5 mil.
>>736579915So, nothing. Here's hoping they get some studios to make games for them.
>>736583967See>>736583853>>736583804
It's gonna depend a lot on the price which probably won't be very accesible seeing how things are going
>>736584249It'll get even worse once China invades Taiwan and Trump invades Canada.
>>736575528pointless beccause the psp is unusable from an ergonomic standpoint. the analog stick is simply in the wrong place. you'd need some aftermarket "controller handle" extension to make it at all playable.t. had a psp and basically only used it as an mp3 player
>>736584249I hope they realize that handhelds are supposed to be the budget option for playing new games unlike PC handhelds which cost way more. But judging by how Sony wants their brand to be the luxury of the gaming experience, I seriously doubt this thing will be under $700, no matter what the leakers are saying.
>>736575528Competing with phones/swish.Remote play is the best thing since breade. If it is a phone it wins the console war.
>>736584457Sony changed course with the vita. Do you actually think they’re only going to give their psp 3 one stick?
>>736584594Nah it's going to be $500, thats still expensive for a lot of people and will be seem as luxury compared to the old phones people use for mobile games
>>736583941That's incorrect. All handheld PCs combined sold five million. No one knows how many dick decks were sold but it was some fraction of five million.
>>736579454>they're just locked down shitboxes that treat you like a child>Posted from my Windows 11 PC
>>736575528It's their dumb counter to Nintendo. Except Nintendo went all-in every generation and actually supports their hardware and now got third party games and shit. So a PS handheld today is worthless.
>>736583804>PS3 - negative 4 billionHow? I thought the PS3 outsold the xbox 360
>>736584949not on windows even then, consoles literally don't let you browse the fucking internet, whatever point you're trying to make isn't even close to making sense consoles are on another level of cattle shit compared to even the worst of windows
>>736585056simple. sell thing for less than manufacture cost. rivals can't do shit. and can't complete.same tactic that killed sega. is the same tactic stores like wallmart do.
>>736585056First model ps3 lost $200 on every sale, it should cost $800 but Sony took the hit
>>736585020>all third partynot even Starfield, Elden Ring or Call of Duty
>>736585212>>736585325Surely they made it up on software sales though?
>>736585547lol all that shit is confirmed. It's Sony that got a huge problem on their hands because they got zero system sellers
>>736585676The ps3 was sold at a bigger loss than any of their previous consoles. It did fine software wise but the other stuff surrounding it is what ultimately tanked it
>>736582971It's happening, the Nips are in control, I repeat, the Nips are in control.
>>736583218They're waiting on handheld Medusa Point where the TDP is locked to 15W in handheld mode. Valve no longer wants a custom chip because it's too costly, off-the-shelf is cheaper and they can do some custom work through software on them. Thanks to the Aerith/Sephiroth chip in the Steam Deck AMD, now has the knowledge to make a 3nm monolithic 15W chip. Medusa Point is made with efficiency in mind, while the laptop variant is coming next year, handheld variant will come shortly after early 2028. Valve no longer needs a Semi-Custom chip.
>>736585898As if call of duty players will just jump to Nintendo to play it at 30fps Let me know when you get borderlands 4
>>736586207Lots of players will because Playstation is too expensive. Especially because GTA 6 is day 1 on Nintendo.
>>736586337>as if Nintendo won’t raise prices>as if Switch 2 could run gta 6
>>736586438Third price hike.
>>736586438The funny thing is I've seen sony fanboys fucking beg for that Nintendo price increase for months now and then Sony goes and does it first anyways
>all of those "gen Z are buying up all the PSPs!" articles from a few months ago was actually trying to drive interest for an upcoming producti should have known. my cynicism was too low, i just took it at face value and assumed younger people were longing for something better. nope. it is all corporate mind games to sell more product and incept the want for a psp into the public.
>>736587015this is actually sony's SECOND price hike after the switch 2's release. snoys begging for nintendo to increase the switch 2's prices only makes sony do more price hikes, what delightful irony
>>736575597SNOYS! GLORIOUS SNOYS!
>>736586485looks to be selling fine hawnestleee
>>736587183>>736587015Do you really think that Nintendo won't raise prices?They already jacked up the price of a 9 year old console.
>>736575528>What is the point of this?With America about to start World War 3, Sony knows that a lot of people are going to have to move to safer countries, and won't be able to bring their TV and gaming console on the train / plane. *Cha-ching*
>>736575528>The PS is a dying brandHOOOOLY XFAG COPE LOL!
>>736588030Third Sony price hike coming up!
>>736582425how about a new Katamari game?
>>736588030>They already jacked up the price of a 9 year old consoleWhat? The Switch is dirt cheap right now they might as well be giving it away for free.
people still think the PS6 exists lol
>>736588260>>736588175Y'all had 6 years to buy one.
>>736588284Hardware leakers know that it is real.
>>736576094I bought and returned one, the fucking colors were so washed out. I'd have kept it if it was oled
>>736588343>leakfag copekek
>>736575528As long as it's no bigger than a vita this thing will sell like hotcakes.
>>736588387Sony went after one of the leakers after he got something spot on pretty much. Moore's Law is Dead was the guy
>>736588436>PS5 level hardware>no bigger than a vitaanon, do you want this to have no cooling or a battery?
>>736576653I'd like that but it's more likely sony would do cards like the vita again IF they make it read physical media
>>736588443>Moore's Law is Deadif this guy got something right it's by pure chance. he's one of the worst leakers out there.
>>736588078They've been coping for a while since their next gen is just a reference device.
>>736588869he got the specs right about the ps5 pro
>>736588869How is he wrong?
>>736575528Oh fuck yeah
>>736575597>I will buy it day one.
>>736583941And that's why another PS handheld would be no different. The vita bombed almost as bad as the Wii U.
>>736583941Steam Deck has limited availability, is sold in limited regions, barely gets marketed, and not many are manufactured. The PS6 handheld won't have these problems while also addressing the issues that killed the Vita. Only issue the handheld is going to have is that Sony is going to have to subsidize it to $550. Sony will at least lose less on the PS6 as a whole over the PS5 which means they can take a bigger subsidy.
>>736584327Who is Japan planning to invade?
>>736589986Because the vita was plagued with bizarre design choices? Why do you think a PS6 handheld designed by Mark Cerny, who has aimed for scalability for PS4/PS5, will fail? The Vita was not like what they are aiming for now.
>>736588605Fuck PS5 level hardware. Just make it handheld and put good games on it.
>>736590858you know it's going to be a massive lumbering thing. Sony wants it to be able to play all the newest COD and FIFA and whatever sports ball.
>>736576115That honestly wouldn't be to bad.
>>736575528sony taking their IPs and porting them spec for a handheld would be a good way to compete with nintendo and steam.will they fuck it up? absolutely.
I just bought a vita yesterday.if sony just make the vita 2 id be happy as hell.
>>736582737>Even the best handheld PCs aren't exceeding PS5 specs, and Sony is not a personal developer of their own hardware. This is AMD tech.Actually it's a collaboration between Sony and AMD under "Project Amethyst" which will co-develop technologies that will go into the PS6, the handheld as well as future AMD GPUs.
>dopnt even make games for their console>not only will they now have to make games for their new console, but theyll have to make ones that run on a handheld>all while components are skyrocketing in price across the board, so itll have to compete against the $450 switch 2>all while indies and even third party are going to switch 2 and deck alreadywho the fuck is this even for besides sony drones?
>>736575930will vita games run on it tho?
>>736592960sony is backing off from pc ports and the handheld will get all exclusives plus third party support. tendies are gonna be hella jealous when it comes out, since switch wont be the only dedicated handheld on the market anymore
The point is that the Switch is a huge success and Sony wants to have have that too.
>>736575528As a massive die-hard fan of the Vita (I own 78 physical Vita games and have plat'd most of them) I will wait and see what this portable will be.The issue with "portable gaming" in general is they're essentially fucked-up multiplats. Games went from having a separate portable version that's optimized for the console into having a half-working downscaled port that runs at 12 fps.If Sony claims their next handheld will offer a robust gaming experience "on the go" don't believe them, because even the strongest chink-helds right now can only play Switch games.
>>736593102>sony is backing off from pc portsno, theyre not. Jason schrier doesnt work for sony and they havent even acknowledged his retarded little article since it dropped. kill yourself
>>736593127schreier talks to people from... take a wild guess.he is the most reliable insider arguably. very commonly known as being spot on. sony has since removed most if not all PC mentions from their site stuff.
>>736593208no they didnt, are you taking the piss or genuinely stupid?https://www.playstation.com/en-us/pc/pc-games/
>>736593247that's only the already ported games. they probably wont pull them from steam/epic. insiders said that yotei and saros had ports but were scrapped when close to being done. its not that hard to understand. nintendo is stepping up their third party support so either way you look at it, its highly likely they are backing off to secure their fanbase/ecosystem. also the steam machine is coming and sony doesnt want future titles playable on it.
>>736593323>they removed all mention>j-just not the games that are already on PC>insiders claim>its STILL schrierplease, I am asking you, deepthroat a shotgun
>>736593247https://twistedvoxel.com/sony-scrubbing-pc-from-playstation-back-end-returning-focus-to-exclusives/
>>736593364are you really going to sit there and doubt who we know to be the most accurate insider out of any of them? he's easily up there with Natethehate and others, if not better. he gets his shit right. he literally spoke with insiders that couldnt be named for reasons.
>>736593364Natethehate corroborated this as well. He said the decision was made last year.
>>736593421NTA but you sound like a retard that would buy snake oil
>>736593382who in the fuck is zyo tech?>>736593421name one thing schriers ever been right about>he has insiders like my uncle who works at sony
>>736593470>>736593457GTA VI Progress: In 2026, he accurately reported that GTA VI was not yet content-complete, accurately predicting that the development process followed a similar pattern to Red Dead Redemption 2, including potential for release date shifts.Studio Closures & Culture: He has accurately exposed labor issues and development issues at studios like Rockstar, BioWare, and Bethesda.Game Delays: Often reports on delays before they are made public, including for major titles in development, such as the Wonder Woman game development challenges.Fallout 4 Details: Correctly reported on the game's setting and existence before its formal announcement. Natethehate also corroborated Schreier's claim about Sony backing off of PC.
>>736593519>: In 2026, he accurately reported that GTA VI was not yet content-completeno fucking shit, we hadnt heard anything from it since the trailer and they were getting sued in court. I couldve told you it would be delayed>he predicted fallout 4 would come outwow, one of bethesda's best selling games would get a sequel? I cant believe it! I wonder if Super mario bros will get a game in the future too!
>>736593582He not only said it would come out but he leaked the games setting and existence before its announcement. He also broke the news about Bluepoint shutting before anyone else knew.
>>736593624>he leaked the existence of a seuqel to one of bethesda's best selling franchisesI cant believe it! I wonder if Super mario bros will get a game in the future too!
>>736582275Metal Gear Acid.
>>736593660can you read? he leaked the setting of the game as well
>>736593690who cares?
>>736593701hes right. thats what matters
All I need them to do is just make the vita with better sticks and with buttons for L3 and R3 instead of a touch pad on the backAlso I need them to put games worth owning and not require proprietary memory like they did with the vitaThey do this and they'll have a hit even as an emulation machine
>>736575528You forgot the worse thing nobody is saying. It will be digital only because it has to play ps6 games.
>>736575597Least loyal snoy
>>736580801This game's actually coming back so if Sony's new Japanese CEO isn't a dumbfuck and actually wants this handheld to have a pulse in Japan (which he's on record saying he wants to do) then they're already talking with these devs for it to release on their handheld
>>736578869Sd card is a non issue for the majority and Sony handhelds have had some banger gamesNot going to buy tho I haven't trusted Sony since the ps account leak back in the PS3 era (tho it did give me infamous for free so that was nice I guess)
>>736594402Should have released DT2 and 2-2 on other platforms aside from Johren. That 3 time activation makes it hard for actual buyers to buy it.
>>736576094I checked it recently and couldn't believe it, I thought portal bombed? Everyone was angry because it was basically streaming device. Anyway if it will have baceards compatibility with Vita and PSP I will buy it
>>736597021Portal did fine supposedly, was quite a success for the type of device it was. It had a 7 percent attach rate in the USA. Demand exists for a dedicated handheld for sure.
>>736575528I'm already saving up to buy a PS6 day one. Last time I bought a console day one was the PS3, I pretty much skipped the PS4 and only bought a PS5 last year. But the PS6 will be the first console with proper AI upscaling, which is the only thing that consoles needed. Also PC is soulless as fuck.>playing vidya on a deskWhat a loser.
>>736576653Load times were really really bad on the UMDs
>>736583745If that one analyst in Japan is right the Switch 2's BoM is now $520 because of RAM cost increases. There's zero chance of a handheld PS6 being sold for $400 or less.
>>736575528if it costs sub 1000$ and plays every game I want, that is From Software titles and Final Fantasy titles, at 720p and at a locked 30fps, count me in
>>736575528Are they really gonna make something weaker than the PS5 play PS6 games? What’s the fucking point in upgrading then?
>>736598284it's not supposed to be an upgrade, this is for those who'd want a handheld, the upgrade is gonna be the regular ps6but then again, why would someone buy a sony handheld when the steam deck is already out, can run EVERY single game out there at an acceptable quality for a handheld, better than a switch 2 even, and then steam deck 2 is on the horizon? I can only think of sony cultists pulling this stupid a move

I have a cousin that knows some stuff of electronics and soldering so I can resort to his help if need be
>>736598913Most likely not, I remember it has to do some kind of internet activation to even use the drive attachment

>>736598913no lol >>736598987enjoy licking sony boots while they keep fucking you over for free
I don't think they should commit to having every ps6 console game to run on the handheld, it would just hold themselves back
>>736599105Cerny has mastered infinite scalability with PSSR. Trust the plan.

>>736603161because nintendo cant run anywhere if sony goes into the handheld space. and its looking like the PS handheld is going to bring some serious competition to the table. it's going to pull sales from their favorite console as well.
>>736575528If you can hack it like the original PSP, it's 100% worth buying and would be kino as a PSP2I machine.

>>736604190explain why you believe that they will follow the same route with the PS6 handheld as they did the vita. as far as we know, its aiming for easy scalability like Mark Cerny has targeted with 4/5 already.
>>736604190the vita failed because it had no third party support due to console and handheld games being separate at the time. they are homogenized now, a new sony handheld will just play ps5/ps6 games but worse.

>>736604782first two points are largely wrong since they are implementing a mode devs can use for existing games to run on lower power hardware and the same battery logic also applies to the switch 2, which at times can have abysmal battery life.ps portal did surprisingly well for a cloud device. something like a 7 percent attach rate for USA. a dedicated handheld will sell well and will help PS fans migrate with their libraries.final point, it has games. just because they dont meet your stupid criteria doesnt mean it doesnt have anything. ps5 is at probably 95m right now with the same exact strategy.
>>736575528>This thing will be overpriced, underpowered, and have zero killer apps.Mofos are out here buying chink handhelds for $500 without even flinching.

>>736605215NTA but posting articles from 4 years ago when it was getting heavily scalped due to covid restrictions is hilariously disingenuous.
Every single sony game for the next 10 years will get both a ps5 and ps6 version, there is nothing a modern game could have that would only run on ps6 and wouldn't run on ps5.

>>736605282>>736605314Why is a "highly popular" console that's selling out not being turned on to begin with? That is unless, it doesn't have any games to play
>>736598913let us know m8
Playstation's going to abandon physical media and you and the media are going to clap for it.
>>736605551It was still highly scalped in 2021, which is when that article came out, retard.Also thousands of games available count as games.
>>736605551The metric for that article was people who got a trophy in Astro's Playroom, they could have simply just not played it because they weren't interested. Sure makes for a good clickbait headline though.

>>736605618snoytranny, calm down. Saying that the PS5 has no games is a silly meme, it has like 5, which is pathetic but more than 0.
>>736605727It has much more than 5. Thousands even.
>>736605215>premise of this article is so heavily reliant on every PS5 owner having played Astro's Playroom at least once>even the article writer states that there is a significant margin of error due to how unreliable of a metric this isis this the level of research you'd proudly display as a source? fucking laughable

>>736605894with those specs that shit sounds like it would cost $1000+. look at stuff like the rog flow
>>736605767Nah, maybe 10 if you stretch enough.
>>736606180starfield is a pretty good game on ps5
I sure do hope this handheld comes with games. It would be really weird for a console to release without any games.
>>736606229it will have a small as shit lineup vs the entire steam deck library
>>736593105because handhelds have always been the peak of vidya. I'm not naive enough to believe the games will be cheaper but Im all for a console having smaller games that take less resources to make.
if this thing manages to run the games switch 2 can't (for example 007 first light got delayed indefinitely for sw2 because of performance issues) then i can really see it eatin nintendos momentum in the westjapanese market share sony will never ever get back, it is what it is
>>736579339The difference is that Valve doesn't produce tens of millions of decks, because they know it's niche hardware
>>736606426It will rely on fsr 5 or whatever the fuck amd is calling it. The amd fan boys claim it will be magical and finally catch up yo dlss.
>>736606318Everything will have a small library compared to a UMPC. But a library with every PS4/PS5 game on it is a solid library. It depends on the form factor for me, if it's ACTUALLY a portable and not a goliath of a machine like a 'eck or Switch 2 that'd be pretty cool. The android handhelds are getting pretty small now, even the more powerful ones like the Odin 3 which can play some Steam games.
>>736606842nearly every PS4/PS5 game is on PC. Even Sonys games are on PC until they recently pulled out.
>>736585056>>736585676The PS3 bombed for the first like four or five years. The Slim revision is when it started to actually move units, but by then a lot of the killer apps had outright failed (which is generally why the only PS3 games that get brought back are Uncharted and TLOU), and the Slim itself was selling at something like a $300 loss for Sony.Additionally, a majority of PS3 owners were likely to have owned other consoles, so third party sales on PS3 were a bit of a meme. Lots of third party devs hated working on the console as well, so it generally had the worst versions of most games that released, so anyone with a choice in the matter wasn't gonna buy CoD, Battlefield, Skyrim, Fallout, etc. on PS3.Additionally additionally, PS3's online sucked ass. Sure it was free, but the thing could barely hold a connection worth a shit and it cost the PS3 any real notable multiplayer community (which is why nobody ever talks about Uncharted multiplayer pre-4, or shit like Resistance 2's 64 player multiplayer, that kind of thing).The only game that really sold more on PS3 than other consoles was GTAV, and if I recall that was due to some kind of promotion for the next gen version.Only two PS3 games sole over ten million btw (GTAV and Gran Turismo 5). Ten 360 games sold more than ten million. For popular multiplats,>Modern Warfare1.8 (PS3) vs 4.1 (360)>World at War1.8 (PS3) vs 3.35 (360)>Modern Warfare 2 4.8 (PS3) vs 8.3 (360)>GTAIV4.3 (PS3) vs 11.0 (360)>Black Ops3.2 (PS3) vs 14.5 (360)I'd also like to point out that most of the CoD games after BO seemed to not even chart on the PS3 side, which should show how dire this was. And as a final note, only 50 PS3 games sold more than 1 million copies, and 20 of them were first party titles.360 had 74 games cross that threshold, and only 16 of them were first party titles. One console clearly had stronger third party sway.
>>736607107That's why I'm saying the form factor would be a deciding factor to me. The 'eck is simply too big and the Windows translation layers aren't quite there yet for the smaller android handhelds. Playstation in general is just the middle ground for people that don't want to be in the PC ecosystem though. Presumably it'd just work out of the box instead of needing to hit up ProtonDB and fiddle with settings.
>>736607107most of the best ones arent. gt7 is a big one with a big audience
>>736607223>>736606842it is 100% not going to be something you can pocket.switch and deck are now the given form factor for any portable made by a mainstream business.
>>736607180>and it cost the PS3 any real notable multiplayer communitySouls. At the time it was non-existent on Xbox and PC.>The only game that really sold more on PS3 than other consoles was GTAVAgain, Souls.
>>736575528Neil Druckmann and ND funded this so they could release The Last of Us 1 and 2 on PSP for full price
>>736575528>No seriously, what is the market for this thing?handhelds are great. home consoles are pointless since they combine both the downsides of PC and consolesI just hope they'll let you play local multiplayer on it like on switch. becuse nobody's gonna buy 4 copies of a game to play with friends
>>736598913disc drives have online activation DRM. I'm assuming this means they can blacklist drivesanyway, if the activation expires and servers are dead, your drive gets fucked
>>736609063The switch is a hybrid of a handheld and a console (when docked). The new Playstation handheld isn't the PS6 (though might play some of the same games), it's not a console like the PS6 will be, so I doubt you will be able to plug it into a TV like a PS6. So probably if you wanted to do local multiplayer on the handheld it would be on multiple devices over WiFi or Bluetooth and each one would probably need a copy of the game.
>>736609461switch lets you hook up multiple controllers (usb hub, wireless). vita tv too (ps: fuck the retarded game blacklist). there's no excuse
>>736609664I mean, they might, but I would think personally that Sony might want to differentiate the two products. Like the handheld isn't just a cheaper PS6 you can hook up to a TV and play PS6 games on (albeit with worse graphics) because that would then compete with the PS6 proper in the market because it would allow you to do basically the same things (use it like a proper console). They might play the same games (or at least some of them) and it might have some games that are more made with being on a handheld in mind (that might also run on a PS6 if you really wanted to).
>>736606180do you count third party?
>>736602840t. Thor not-haver
>>736594672Propriety shit is always a bad move in the long run. You also heavily underestimate the number of people who care about this sort of thing. Many people are not going to fall for the same scan sony pulled off with the vita.
>>736575528I also don't see the point of this device, given that even the main system is struggling to get any good titles. It's not 2009, 2012, or even 2016, so I don't really see the point. Is it going to be another indie machine like the Vita was during its last few years? I think the Steam Deck covers that niche pretty well. Unless it's somehow going to be backwards compatible with previous generations, I don't see the point.
>>736610020>ps6 gamesthe point of a handheld is to give devs a lower cost option to put games that might not cut it on the big screen and other smaller scale, experimental projects. shit like nanashi no game (basically the ring in video game form), scribblenauts, or wario ware and rhythm heaven, or that xy feel the magic microgame festthe DS had tons of miscellanous shovelware that did that, including a smoking cessation program, cooking games, and so-called brain games. you even had games to study for exams (real-estate, environment, etc.)
>>73661185392.2M PS5s sold. You are not the target audience clearly.
Psp and Vita both had some fucking great exclusives, I like Sony handhelds way more than their consoles. I still play Phantasy Star on my Vita
>>736575597Don't forget your monthly 80 dlls to be able to play your games
>>736612316Wow Tendies are retarded. It's 80 dollars a year dipshit
>>736612316>"Dlls" is a common abbreviation for US Dollars (USD) used primarily in Mexico, particularly on menus, price lists, and in tourism areas to differentiate US currency from Mexican Pesos ($)
>>736608039You cite one game that wasn't a big seller until late into the PS3 life cycle and is part of a franchise that started as a PS3 exclusive.
>>736575597FPBP.
>>736608039>At the time it was non-existent on Xbox and PC.Except the moment it came to PC it completely dominated on that platform with the PC version of DS1 selling almost as much as the ps3 and xbox version combined.DS2 +SOTFS ended up selling a total of 5m on PC where vs 3m on ps3 and 4.3 hit 9m on steam where ps barely hit 5
>>736575597if it is a proper handheld device and not a tablet, count me in.
There as been "rumors" and "leaks" that some kind of PSP/PSV successor since the ps4. It's time to fucking stop listening to the clickbait.
>>736614241except that Kepler L2 and MLID have both stated that it is coming and it has been heavily hinted at through the Power Saver mode implemented recently. it looks like its to usher in devs being able to put their games on the handheld.
>>736614241I think it's pretty convincing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zD1E6O5s_I
>>736575597$899 plus tip. In all seriousness a Vita 2 would be kino but nu-Sony is too gay and brown for that
>>736613719>Except the moment it came to PC it completely dominated on that platformNot true.The multiplayer community was still mostly on PS after DaS1. Sales mean shit, everyone who wanted to play Souls online was playing on PS at the time. PC was for casuals and people who didn't want to focus on multiplayer
>>736575528no ideamuch like the PS5 it will have no games
>>736575528cautiously optimistic.modern snoy sucks ass, but i loved my vita and PSP, and i hope this is a sign of change for the better.
>>736575528Concord Mobile?!!?!?!?
>>736580548Wait real shit? Why is it that nintendo consoles being hacked is regional news but the PS5 can get jailbroken and nobody gives a shit.
>snoys are hallucinating consoles again How bout you hallucinate some fucking games first, goycattle
>>736615538Because it has no games.Ok, so your piss5 got hacked. What are you gonna play? Oh right. Nothing.
>>736587082God damn it I haven't thought of that. But I think it's true with 3DS's so maybe it's a bit organic? Who knows.
>>736615670you can now install linux on the PS5, meaning it finally has games
>>736612209So, how many of those 92M people are going to buy “PS5 again but weaker”?
>>736575528Playing Fairgame$ on the shitter
>>736615907FINALLY a way to play GTAV on the PS5!
>>736615589Just stopping in to say weegee had a 10/10 ghost lady before I go.
>Local LAN + Wifi>Return of UMDs and clowning on keycards>New Twisted Metal>New Ape Escape>New Fat Princess>New PS All Stars>Palworld portI'm buying the new PSP
>>736575528The Vita was the best fucking playstation portable, this one is going to fucking die just like the others.
>>736601107People do want that though. I'm burnt out of living room boxes m8. The Steam Machine looks nice and all, but I don't want it, I want the Steam Deck 2. This Canis may be the first time in years that I'll get a PlayStation, and I'll have the Switch 2 on me too.
>>736575597this kills the broke seething no/v/idya incels
bump
>>736619153>Return of UMDs and clowning on keycardsThis would unironically make the board unusable for a while.
>>736623862Every PS4 and 5 game is a key card
>>736579634Almost all the rumors are pointing to this handheld coming with an AMD x86 chip, not ARM. The specs that are floating around are 4 Zen 6c cores + 2 lp cores for the OS and 16 RDNA5 CU for the iGPU. Granted those are rumors, so take with a grain of salt.
>>736624330And? We're talking about the PSP here.
the GOAT will returnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G0LlXv-nyI
>>736599206Look at the statistics: the vast majority prefer and use digital format, many consider disc-based games an unnecessary expense or outdateWhatever people say here, on reddit, or on twitter represents a tiny minority compared to the vast majority of PlayStation players. And the vast majority of players prefer the digital formatWhat you’re saying is wrong too, because it benefits Sony not to have to manufacture more discs, you don’t have to be a genius to see that from a business perspective
>>736626643Given how well third-party games on Switch 2 are doing, physicalfags may be a minority everywhere.
>>736599206https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/corporatereport/CorporateReport2025_E.pdf
>>736626643Physical videogames are more embarrassing than Funko Pops.
>>736596569As if it was their choice Steam is a censored hellhole
>>736627492>>736627002Still buying physical.
>>736575528I bought the PSP. I bought the Vita. I'm not trusting them with another handheld. And especially not now after they've lost so many of their devs that would actually make games for these systems.
>>736629032Don't worry, they're setting themselves up for this, they're working heavily with third parties to bring back their Japanese and western AA franchises to push the Canis hard. Team Asobi will be heavy help and they want to make sure the Canis can natively play PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, PS4, PS5, and PS6 games, PS1-PS3, PSP, and Vita games will be emulated though, PS3 games will no longer be cloud stream because they finally cracked the code in the PS6 silicon. Prepare to see many of Sony's classic first-party PS1-early PS4, PSP, and Vita franchises make a huge return due to the Canis with new entries. Sony's also fixing their shitty global policy doing away with that so niche Japanese games should be returning as well given the FTC is about start a massive payment processor government regulation on their asses for the shit they pulled last year on Nintendo, Steam, and PlayStation platforms.
>>736628806You're in the minority now, and you'll be one of the ones crying the hardest in the next all-digital generationYou'd better start accepting it before it hurts even more
>>736629873>Team AsobiThey've made cool games I'll admit. But they're like, nowhere near the size Japan Studio was. They can hardly shoulder the same kind of weight or replicate the same kind of work flow. And this isn't even touching on all the other devs that Playstation has either terminated or allowed to slip through their fingers.
>>736629873Holy hallucination
>>736631086But it's all true
>>736630068I'll survive.
>>736612376It's 0 USD a year in on Steam
If it's an actual PSP I'll fucking buy one.
>No seriously, what is the market for this thing? There are over 90 million PS5s and over 150 million Switches. You think there's no market for a portable PS6? Are you retarded?
1) Let it play PS1 and PS2 ISOs without the need for hacking2) Have an e-shopIt's LITERALLY free money.
dead on arrival
>>736575528So snoys can get a steam deck that performs worse and have to pay for proprietary memory
>>736576653retarded
>>736597516UMDs were an all around disaster the subhumans replaying to the post are insane.-take up a fuckload of space in the device that could be used for important things-loud as shit-mechanical slot that risks wear and tear-slow as fuck-needed a motor which drains battery life-didnt even hold that much dataASS.
>>736577108>Mini discs were kinoNo they fucking weren't.
>>736578869>Even after you witnessed them almost immediately drop support for the vita before it had a chance to thrive?this is inexcusable for me, 0% care 0% love, fuck sony
>>736575528It'll be a Sony (California) PlayStation Portable.The PSP and Vita cannot exist today.
>>736641383>It'll be a Sony (California) PlayStation Portable.Nope, it's Sony (Japan) PlayStation handheld, California is no longer in control, it's a question of not if but when SIE HQ will return to Tokyo, Japan. Sony has already rebuilt up their Japanese HQ for that while gutting the western branches.
>>736643418*blocks ur path*
>>736643471still works there still blocking anime gamesstill funding 'cord-likes
>>736643630It's probably getting fired around the PS6 launch.
>>736590749You think niggers and spic normalfags actually cared let alone knew about that? It simply just doesn't appeal to them, they want to play on a TV and don't care about handheld gaming. The market for a handheld playstation is gone.
>>736633390I'd prefer if was just a regular old psp. I'm not buying a big ass ps5 portable with fuck all for games.
>>736644394Make a new Palworld thread you say?
