i jave mixed feelings on it, I loved the PSP and the idea that all my current games would run on this portable machine and my PS4 Pro is an exciting prospect! however... I always feel that products that are knee jerk reaction to another always end up bad
for those who are tech savi would a say portable PS4 that maybe runs games in 720p a possible thing? Another question is, is it too late? The PS4 is already 4 years old! (personally I think the PS4 will be around for another 4 years as Sony’s Main syssystem so a late 2018 release would be doable) disguss p.s sorry for any mistakes, I’m on my phone and I’m sure when I read this back on my Mac I will be embarrassed 😅 |
I feel it is a technical problem for Sony. Switch probably is on the high end what is possible in the mass market. Switch already is quite pricey, Nintendo got away with it, because they marketed it as home console too. Also battery life is on the low end.
A portable Playstation would also have lesser benefit, as it only provides mobile action. If it also connects to the TV though, it would eat into the market of the PS4.
A mobile PS4 probably also means it plays PS4-games? This would be even more difficult, as the x86-architecture does not work very well mobile(too much heat to get away, too much power consumption).
Sony could go the hybrid route with the next system, but it would be a disappointment in the computing power for many playstation fans.
As I see it, going for a mobile is in every possible implementation a losing game for Sony.
