Sony's Head of Corperate Planning Kazuhiko Takeda spoke with Nikkei recently saying, "...we can't ingnore the Nintendo Switch...". Kaz said that there business model "...involves selling both the game console and the software for it...". Going forward they are looking to get consumers paying for content continuously, using paid subscriptions as an example.

Are they looking at expanding the PlayStation platform? The best way to get people continuously paying for content through your devices, is to give them access to your OS and Storefront 24/7, in any situation. If they want to compete with the Switch, they need a new device like the Vita that has full access to the PS4 library of software and services. A phone in the form factor of the Vita, running on the PS4 OS and delivering the full PS4 expereince anywhere is the key to Sony recapturing a portion of the mobile space. 

Who is interested in a mobile device offering the full PS4 expereince?

They need a PS4 Lite, which would be a PS4 Portable; running a downgraded version of every PS4 game. So you wont need to buy the game twice.   IT MUST HAVE A BLURAY DRIVE.  It would be similar like a Walkman, but you put a a disk on the back.  and the screen is in front.    It would be like Like vita with a round disk on the back :D
