Cool as it would be to see Sony re-enter the handheld market properly, it would be almost impossible for them to do so successfully.

They already couldn't manage adequate support for the PS4 and Vita simultaneously; supporting both the PS5 and a handheld close to the PS4 at once would be even more difficult, and likely lead to severe software droughts for both platforms.

If they could somehow make a handheld that could play PS4 games natively I think they could really make a splash. Day 1 you could play one of the best libraries around.

Not sure if that'd be feasible from a technical point of view mind... 

By the time that's viable with decent battery life, a convenient form factor, and a reasonable price point, the PS4's library will be old hat. I don't think many people would buy a new system just to play old games, especially when there are other competing options like Switch 2 and Steam Deck that play new stuff.
