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

Not "everyone", huh. Sorry, i forgot to mention people outside Sony fans disagree with you. I didn't say all PS4 games are 100 GB, misread on purpose? I said Western AAA games, especially with add-ons, DLCs, updates and season pass can bring a very big file size game.  500GB only isn't enough for a digital only system if you also add several GB of indie games. We have Call of Duty Black Ops 3 or Infinite Warfare (both around 100GB), The Elder Scroll Online (86 GB) also. Even the remaster ones like Battlefield 4 take 71GB and the first is 52 GB, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix from Japan is 56GB. A game need to compress to fit on portable. See Vita/PS3 and PSP/PS2 or 3DS/Wii, even Switch games were compressed when ported them from Wii U to Switch.

I wasn't aware that you were voted speaker for all that is not PS. What title does this give you? Does it pay well? Ok, lets assume based on your best case scenario, that the handheld only has 500GB internal storage, and that some AAA games are around 100GB, with no compression or downgrades whatsoever. What is wrong with being able to have 5 AAA games on the stock storage at one time? How acceptable is it for a company to be able to say to its customers, you can have 5 AAA games at this base price, but for another $50 to $100, a micro SD card will get you another 3 or 4 AAA games. If you have a mixed batch on the unit, you can have up to 25 games base, and 40 with expandable storage. If you play nothing but indie games, you can have 100 games on stock storage. How many AAA games need to be able to fit on the stock storage? PS4 must have sold at least 30M - 40M, 500GB models before they came out with the optional 1TB model, so why wasn't the PS4 DOA, and why was it, and still is, thriving?

PS4 is a home console that use 60GB blu ray disc and 500GB storage with 1 TB or even 2 TB hard drive if you want, now compare it to a handheld with digital only, well well ... You forget it is digital only mean you can't bring any indie games with you if you already have 5 big AAA games. And nope, 5 AAA games won't never ever for free, you have to purchase it even at very cheap price. Majority gamers prefer physical to digital unless they are gamers who love the method free to play games on phone only. Another micro SD card for 3 or 4 AAA games? Let say each game is only around 70 GB, well, you need at least a 256GB card and that cost like $170-$180 in sale. Many people play ps4 who love both AAA and indie games, AAA using physical and indie are digital. One thing: game on ps4 have way higher graphic settings and resolution mean way bigger file size than Nintendo one. The customers who buy a ps4/5 portable only for indie mostly are handheld gamers and i'm very sorry to say this but at least 85% Sony gamers are the ones who love gaming on big screen with the most great graphic possible they could get. Good luck to sell a portable to them. Don't try to compare a portable digital only to a traditional home console with both digital and physical. It seems you clearly ignore all people here who replied to you outside me
