Should Sony make a PS4 portable? And would you buy it?

Why would Sony do that? They'd be cannibalizing their own market. The reason Switch works is because Nintendo doesn't have a dedicated home console competing with it at the moment, and the 3DS (or 2DS) is only going to be around for another year or two before Nintendo decides to go all-in on the Switch.

What market would they be cannibalizing? This device would still be a PS4, just in handheld form. It would play everything in the PS4 library. It would just be another iteration of the console, if they could be able to do it. It would be an idea that could extend the life of the console for some time if they acted on it within the next couple of years.

What you're describing is impossible. 

You cannot get a PS4 with the same literal architecture down into a portable form factor with anything resembling acceptable battery life. 

Sony could have a PS4-tier mobile 3 or 4 years from now but it would have to be built from scratch using mobile components and as such would be incompatible with the existing PS4 library. 

Good luck with mobile memory bandwidth of 140GB/sec anytime soon either.
