Gaming News After PlayStation Portal, is Sony really back in the portable console market? It would finally be a reality!
While Nintendo has always reigned supreme in this market, Sony seems to be coming back and trying to overshadow it. After PlayStation Portal, a real portable PlayStation console soon?
Is Sony returning to the portable console market soon?
If you grew up with it PlayStation PortableYou may be waiting impatiently for the day when Sony decides to return to the portable console space. It must be said that the PSP was entitled to a fairly large catalog, even if the PS Vita wasn’t as lucky, the console itself was more than promising. Good news, the Japanese manufacturer could well be preparing its return to this very special market.
In any case, this is what is being said Moore’s Law is dead (MLID for short), a hardware enthusiast who is known for his few, sometimes very reliable, leaks. According to him, a portable console is being developed at Sony, and it will not be a streaming device like the PlayStation Portal was a few months ago. This new machine would actually be able to run games natively since it would be equipped with an AMD chip”is currently in the final design phase“. However, according to MLID, the console has been in preparation for at least two years but has not yet been validated by Sony for release. It would be able to play all PlayStation 4 games and could benefit from patches to play PlayStation 5 games. Apparently this is still the case rumor since no source could really be verified. We will therefore have to wait for confirmation from Sony before making it official.
A market that interests more and more people
While the portable console market seems to have only interested Nintendo for some time, we have to admit that things are changing. While we’re still waiting for official news about Mario and Friends’ next console, some competitors have been quick to place their tokens. We are of course thinking of Sony with its PlayStation Portal, but above all of other devices that are much more aimed at PC users.
Valve for example, paved the way with his famous one Steam deck, now available with OLED screen. Thanks to the latter, players can comfortably play many games available on the Steam platform without the hassle of a large tower and a fixed screen. Hardware manufacturers for their part ASUS The company also sensed good business and, thanks to the famous manufacturer, decided to enter the portable console market ROG Ally whose achievements inspire respect. Finally, as a third competitor, Lenovo also works well with his console Legion Go which is inspired by the Nintendo Switch and its detachable Joy-Con. One thing is certain: the portable console market seems to be attracting more and more people. It remains to be seen whether Sony will actually decide to get involved or not.
