That's another option that would work. Delay until holiday 2029 and launch a $399-$499 (dockable) handheld, and a $499 home console.
I agree with you though, I don't really see them doing that. I think at the very least, they want the handheld out sooner than later.
Now whether they would launch just the handheld holiday 2027 as a PSP2 branded device, or something like that, where they explain clearly that it's a fully compatible device, for BC and FC, I'm not so sure. I think if they handled it right, they could succeed, while waiting to launch the PS6 2 years later. Even if they did this, the PS6 would have to be $499 max, and they would have to make certain it reduces in price throughout the gen, asap, or they'll lose plenty of those PS4 owners. The handheld is only going to cause some PS4 players to upgrade, and I don't think it's the majority.
