Uncharted Golden Abyss was developed by Sony Bend, they have been developing spin offs for PSP and Vita for a decade. Killzone Mercenaries was built by Guerilla Cambridge, the B team. Little Big Planet Vita was farmed out to external developers. PS All Stars, Gravity Rush, Wipeout, Hot Shots Golf, are all niche titles in Sonys line-up. Great games to fill out a platform, but nothing that is going to make people go out and buy a device for. As for your PS Vita to PS3 comparison, for one PS Vita came out 5 years after PS3, and we are looking at 6 minimum before this would even be realistic. Also, PS3 had the most powerful CPU and GPU available when it launched, compaired to PS4 having an underpowered mobile CPU and a Middle Range+ GPU. AMD can deliver a chip right now that offers a CPU multiple times more powerful than the PS4's with better than XBO level GPU power at 15 Watts. Shrink that down to 7nm in 2019, and add an even more effecient Ryzen design and Navi based GPU, and they will have a chip with an even greater performance gap on the CPU side, and well above PS4 level GPU with less than 10W power consumption. Then there is always the option of making a super effecient version of the PS4 APU at 7nm. AMD can use the knowlegde they have learned in CPU and GPU effeciency, and implement those techniques into the PS4 Super Slim APU, just like we saw them do adding technology to the PS4 Pro revision. Sony can either build a PS4 Portable/Switch/Phone or a PS5 Portable/Switch/Phone by 2019 - 2020. Getting PS4 level power in a mobile device will be no issue at all. Reaching a $400 price point will not be an issue either. If they go the PS4 Super Slim and PS4 Portable route,it would use the same chipset, which the PS4 Super Slim should be able to be profitable at $200 or less by that point. The biggest additional cost would be going from HDD to SSD, but Samsung has claimed that the HDD and SDD price gap should be close to elminated by 2020. People are really decieved by these phone prices, which are actually sold 3X or more beyond the cost of manufacturing. |
B team is still Guerilla Cambridge, that is like saying Pokemon Sun/Moon doesn't count because it was made by B team of Game Freak, A team is working on Switch. And yeah, if you think Sony can make ps4/ps5 portable that cost only $250 and last 4 - 5 hours next year then LOL. The strongest mobile chip so far are from Apple and Nvidia, ADM didn't have any mobile chip that can compete with X1 with battery and price, let alone the stronger. But all of sudden, ADM of all people are going to bring out a mobile chip that can play ps5 game cost only $250 with battery 4 - 5 hours. Well, that thing will exist in very far future. At the moment, none portable that can play game of Switch level at 720p/30fps that can last 3 hours and cost $300 only. Maybe wait till Switch 3 or even 4 come out, ps4/5 portable will exist with $250 price have 4 - 5 hours battery. One more thing, 15 watts last 4-5 hours for now exist only in your dream, Switch is 11 watts and last only 3 hours
