The only way I could see a hybrid would indeed be a Vita successor, but with a PSNow subscription to stream PS5 games to it, as even by 2020 reaching PS4 GPU power in a handheld format is too much (XBO power should be feasible, but PS4, while doable, would be highly unpractical and drain the battery way too fast). But this comes with the problems mentioned before with bandwith, data caps, and the high costs of high data cap mobile services. |
There is no way Sony can ignore the mobile market. If Sony thinks about recovering Japan, the new PSP is no brainer. Looking at the latest Sony patents for the Sony PS5 controller, Sony will offer the option of playing PS4 games and partially PS5 using a detachable screen. I think that the system will play all ps4 games nativly and stream newer PS5 games. Mobile PSP does not have to have the same computing power as PS4. Not every game must be displayed in 1080p. The 900p -720p is sufficient for mobile gaming, and there is a more cost-effective option when it comes to the battery. In addition, such a screen can be easily used for VR (switch the screen into the shell headset), lowering the price of the headset (PS VR is one creen devided).
