I've written previously I believe a new portable playstation system and PS5 could be incoming and would compliment each other especially if the portable system doubles up as the VR headset for the PS5.

The portable won't be PS4 power though, it would likely be in the same ballpark for CPU performance but GPU performance could be sub 800 gflops quite easily. Lower quality graphic assets and lower rendering resolution means a better portable with smaller games to fit on flash memory.

It's clear Nintendo have found a huge sector for a portable/home console hybrid and see no reason why a new portable console from Sony can't be the same and also slot into a VR visor too. It's not like Sony can just ignore what Nintendo have done they have to compete with it.

I've struggled to motivate myself to get a Switch. I only really want Mario Odyssey currently and I'm so invested already in playstation software. My fear is Sony will try to outperform the Switch by a large degree and then end up with poor battery runtime. My spec for a ps4 portable would be; 4GB, 64GB flash memory, 1080p display and about a 3x CPU performance increase over Switch and 150% increase in GPU performance for portable mode or pretty much Switch docked GPU performance but while portable. This should be able to run all ps4 games from a game logic perspective but with graphics downgraded for the more ambitious games. It will comfortably outperform the Switch.

So how big is the form factor? How long the battery will last with such power? How is it cost? What game can drive it’s sales like Pokemon/Animal Crossing and all games for children market?  

Children market. lol We dont need the childrens market.
