As a seasoned gamer with decades of handheld gaming experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement at the prospect of Sony re-entering the portable gaming market. The PSP was a game-changer for me back in the day, and I still have fond memories of playing it during long commutes or on lazy afternoons.
According to reports, Sony might be considering re-entering the handheld gaming sector by developing a portable version of the PlayStation 5.
According to Bloomberg, the project is in its nascent stages and might not see the light of day.
Despite this, Sony’s aspirations demonstrate an intention to compete with Nintendo, who has ruled the realm of portable gaming for quite some time.
Although Nintendo hasn’t launched the long-awaited Switch 2 yet, Sony is keen on going head-to-head with this upcoming console.
The company has a significant background in portable gaming, as evidenced by the PSP’s sales of more than 76 million units, which posed robust competition for Nintendo in previous times.
Contrarily, unlike its predecessor, Sony’s subsequent model, the PlayStation Vita, didn’t reap the same level of success; it sold approximately 16 million units.
Initially conceived as a standalone device, Sony’s current portable gaming system, known as the PlayStation Portal, now offers game streaming from a PS5 console or through the cloud. This was not its original intention.
This suggests that Sony may be working on a device that could serve as a transitional step between the current PS5 console and the anticipated PS6, which is projected to launch within this decade.
At the moment, Microsoft is working on a mobile version of Xbox, but according to the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, it’s likely not going to be released for a couple more years.
This action taken by Sony might pave the way for a revitalized competition in the portable gaming market, offering increased choices for gamers who prefer mobile gaming.
