If Sony makes a "Playstation Switch" could it succeed?

I didn't mean what it looks like physically. lol. Depends on the hardware and if it ends up being dedicated to PS4, or if it is a PS5 device with BC, or if it's dedicated solely to PS5. If it's going to play PS4 games the dock needs a BD disc drive like I said in my previous post. It would then need some amount of on board storage and room for expansion storage more than likely. The dock could also have an hdd/ssd in it or it could just have a port to plug in an external storage drive. If it's a PS5 only device, it could have the same setup and use a BD drive again, or it may end up being carts. With the size of some PS4 Pro games as well as XB1X games, carts may not be an option depending on bulk purchasing, storage space, and price. BD drive with on board storage is more likely overall.

What if all Sony handheld fans want to use it on the go? Bring a BD Drive with them? A lot gamers prefer physical to digital, you know. They even said no physical, no buy.

You transfer the physical disc games from the BD drive (and/or storage) in the dock to the handheld internal storage when it is docked. There is no physical media needed for the handheld when on the go other than expansion storage (micro SD) if you require more space to bring extra games with you.
