Any proof or just your assume? And 2020 maybe Tegra X3 will come out for New Switch. Then, PS5 will cost $400 while ps4/5 portable only cost $250 with 4 - 5 hours in 2020? Are you fortuneteller of Sony or something?

I have no proof that Sony has anything in the works beyond saying that they can not ignore the Switch. As far as hardware goes, I am just looking at what is available, what is already announced, and what has happened in the past. Based on those factors, it is quite obvious that AMD will have a chip that can handle PS4 games in a portable form factor by late 2019 or early 2020. 

Xavier i the Tegra X3, and it is very likely that it will land in a Switch evision eventually. It could happen next year, as the chip will be available in the next few months. Nintendo could pull the trigger on it at any time.

No fortune tell here. Just someone with a very deep passion for gaming hardware, and a lot invested into Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. I just love looking at what tech is up and coming, and how it could be used to grow the reach of gaming platforms. Sony happens to be my favorite, so I love to look forward and see how they could use upcomming technology advancements to expand their platform.

PS Vita was way weaker than PS3 with the GPU not even having a quaerter of the PS3's power. Right now there's again a major power gap GPU wise, a possible need for Radeon (no suiting ultra low power version for a handheld device at all) and no powerful enough x86 CPU for a powerful gaming device. Long story short, there will be no  x86 PlayStation handheld that is compatible to a PS4. Better not even start talking about game size, internal memory, game cards and stuff like that.

 

Nintendo's system works because they developed in that direction from the start. And they do have games for a device like that. Being really energy efficient from the start and not giving raw power much importance was a key element for Switch.

 

And no, a PS5 in 2020 will neither have 128GB RAM nor a 25TFLOP/s GPU. The latter one not even being on the horizon for single GPU high end systems right now and the former one being quite useless and far to expensive.

Not sure why there is this beleif that PS4 is this powerhouse that is years beyond mobile tech. The information is out their for Ryzen 7 2700U and Xavier. CPU wise, these chips are twice the power of PS4, and they are somewhere between XBO and PS4 in GPU power, Xavier may end up closer to PS4. With the next die shrink, there will be absolutely no problem surpassing PS4 with mobile chips.

As for PS5. I know we won't get a ~25TFLOPs GPU and 128GB of RAM in 2020. That is why I would rather wait for 2022 - 2024. PS5 is 2019 or 2020 would likely be a ~12TFlops GPU with 16 - 24GB of RAM. Would be the smallest leap in the history of generations, but it is a very realistic possability. If PS5 is worth its name, 128GB of RAM would not be useless. If history has taught us anything it is that there is never enough cache, ram, or storage. 

So basically, it is your weird imagination. Yeah, you can keep dreaming
