people don’t understand that if you don’t own the physical copy you really don’t own the game, it goes beyond aesthetic

proprietary memory is what killed the PS Vita honestly, it was way too expensive. if Sony advoids that and also 3rd parties give it full support, it could be awesome

The PS Vita was already the PSP2 internally (for Sony and the system itself), so if there is a next PlayStation portable console it will be probably called PSP3 at least internally. Here is my personal thought on the subject: Rumors say that the new console will be backwards compatible with PS4 games... Not sure if it's feasible and even a good idea. I mean, to me the most important thing for a portable system is to make it affordable, handhelds consoles are too expansive today and Sony can win a lot of people if they keep the price low. Basically it should be a more powerful and modernized PS Vita with new buttons (create L2/R2 L3/R3), some basic rumble features, microSD cards and USB-C. It should have backwards compatibility (emulation) with the PS1/2/P via the Store so it won't have "no games" in its early life. The console should also be backward compatible with PS Vita games and use the same cartridge format for that, PS Vita fans will be more than happy. Every PS Vita gimmicks have to be kept for BC, let's not forget that a gimmick can be appealing for casual gamers when used correctly. The cameras can be accessories like the Go!Cam to reduce the price. But most importantly, it must have exclusive killer apps and focus on AA, spin-off and indie games.

I will love the new PlayStation portable style

The psp was the first handheld console hibrid

The good news is a Micro SD card adaptor for the PSP is DIRT CHEAP! $5-$10 and requires NO modding or hacking of the hardware to use. Just get one that uses one card the ones that hold 2 at a time are unreliable as can be. I have gone as high as 64gb some say 128 or better is fine others say they screw up on you but you can always experiment. The vita adaptors pretty much all require hacking the vita but take a win were we can get one with the PSP.

After the Switch I’m down for every console just being portable/hybrid. It’s so much easier as an adult especially.

I want it to look more like the Vita 🔥🔥🔥🔥😤

PSP style but I bet they got for a more switch/steam deck style

No back back touch all button inputs

Which they won't support properly like the rest of the hand held and vr products they release

Probably be a Grand with todays prices

It does make sense for Sony to make PS4 Portable. It doesn't need to have its own games. Most likely it is going to use Jaguar cores for the best compatibility. Jaguar is really efficient with modern process size and that low frequency. GPU going to be new and have m.2-ssd.

I’m down for a new vita capable of running ps5 specs. It’d make running the old games a lot easier too. And when hacking comes to this new handheld it will be even better than the vita!

Most of PSVitas good games, and games in general were released in Japan and ONLY japan. Rom hacks are needed to play them.

If it were a true successor to PSP WITH physical games, and it llneup it'll be able to play justifies it, I'm all for it. If it's just a digital-only thing, hard pass. I'm not interested in ONLY being able to have digital copies. It's the best of both worlds if they simply make physical games AND have the option to download them digitally - just charge a bit less for digital to incentivize it - $59.99 for a new digital release, $69.99 for a AAA physical release. If they REALLY want to incentivize digital only, then the price on digital only needs to be enticing - REALLY enticing - like $39.99 for digital, $59.99 to $69.99 for physical. Even THEN, though, for a series I collect, like Final Fantasy, I'd STILL pay more for physical.

I fucking hope so!

Ps portal is sooo much lost potential. IT would be mobile full portable system

HATED the back touch. having acutal man hands, got in the way.

This is a fake rumor. There is no new PlayStation handheld (Vita2, PSP3, whatever) coming.

Sony is a lame excuse for a console dude I'm sorry but xbox lyfee
