| KBG29 said: The idea behind any new Mobile, Portable, or Switch like PlayStation would be to run it on the same chipset as the PS4 or an X86/Radeon APU that is capable of running all PS4 titles without additional dev work. Basically, it would either be another version of the PS4, or Sony would provide tools to make all PS4 software run on the advanced chipset. Even if it comes down to scaling, it would be an extreamly quick and simple process. 3rd parties have been scaling across X86/Radeon for decades, and even Sony's 1st parties are building scalability into their in house engines. This is nothing like having a PSP,PS Vita, PS3, and PS4 version of the same game, where every one has to have the game completely re-built. |
Which actually is not possible for several reasons, mainly wattage. The PS4 Chipsets was never made to work in a mobile formfavtor (even if the jaguar cores are originally made for tablets). I dont think AMD/Sony would be able to shrink it enough anytime soon so it could work. The CPU might be the smallest problem, but I cant see ram + gpu working. Also PS4 games are huge and need to get installed, handhelds can likely not use HDD but flash memory which is to expensive.
