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).

I agree to the theory, but the Vita shows what happened in practice.

Sony would need to support the handheld, and I fear after the Vita a lot got burned and don't expect Sony to give a handheld proper software support. Also, SD cards or M.2 sticks as HDD expansion instead of their own, proprietary in-house design. I'd love to be positively surprised here, though.

Neither Ninteno nor Sony have such opportunities to produce dedicated games for heanhelds and stationary consoles at the same time. Handhelds only make sense as an extension of entertainment from stationary consoles. I absolutely agree with you about sd cards. They must be ordinary cheap sd cards. This time it is not about selling cards and other stupid things, but about gathering as many users in Playstation  Universe as possible and transfer them to Playstation Services (Playstation now) as soon as 5G becomes real.
