Handhelds are so disadvantaged over dedicated home consoles that it doesn't matter what tech is in it, for 500$ or less the maximum they could achieve is PS5 performance. Look at Switch 2, it's completely limited to 30fps in third party titles despite launching 5 years after PS5/XBSS/X. There isn't going to be any magical AI tech that will allow a handheld to surpass the PS5 in a price point that competes with Switch 2. That's OK though, as they only need to achieve PS5 performance for it to be a viable platform. 

I'm referring to this sort of thing. Depending on how much further this improves in the coming years the speculation going on in this thread could potentially become outdated fast. We could start to see a shift from traditional gaming to world models basically.

Yeah, this is most likely THE future - drop your favourite book/novel/comic/D&D campaign/... into something like this, set the desired genre/art style and all other stuff and play.

However, I don't think we're anywhere near to something like this to be generated on home console/PC. But, if someone offers streaming cloud service with such a thing...oh yeah, I can see this happening in next 10-15 years.
