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.

Hence Nintendos Hybrid console. But that's a move Sony can't do without leaving the high-end to Microsoft, so they won't do it.
