It's more about the promotion of it though. People aren't just going to buy something because it can be played handheld, there still needs to be good performance. Also, if it cant do better than 30fps how are Sony going to convince people to buy it instead of Switch 2 or Steam deck/deck 2? You have to do something better than your competitors it's just economics. |
Can Switch 2 Play Ghost of Yotei, Wolverine, Intergelatic, GTA 6, whatever the rumoured God of War Spin off is?
Will Switch 2 or Steamdeck inherit you entire PSN library from day one?
Will it have PS6 feature set and be able to support AI NPCs, AI driven physics systems, advance ray traycing?
When head to head in showdowns will it be able to compete with the portable PS6 version of games like Final Fantasy VII part 3? Hell will VII part 3 even be on it day one or like most ports will it require 9months of dedicated effort after the main release to get onto Switch 2.
The real world perception of "Performance" is more than fps. GTA6 had people's jaws on the flaw at 30fps because it looks incredible. There is no confusion in how Sony will market a portable PS6. If you're someone who likes hybrids/handhelds, you probably will get it AND get a Switch 2. The primary reason of a S2 is to play Nintendo Games, not to play the newest GTA, Call of duty, Star Wars, Witcher 4 etc |
You do know that there are already handhelds that are as powerful in CPU and GPU as PS5? GPD win 5. AI max+ 395 chipset in a small handheld. Yes, it has high power consumption and is more expensive, but the PS6P is still over 2 years away so by the time 2027 comes around there will be a cheaper and less power hungry equivalent that Sony can put into the PS6P.
Why would Sony put a chipset in the PS6P that's weaker than GPD win 5, a console that launched at least 2 years earlier. No offence, but I think Nintendo's weak hardware has just conditioned you into thinking power doesn't matter and it's ok if it's just weak old tech, as long as it has exclusives. The Switch 2 so far seems to be a success, but lets not get carried away yet it's still early days. The weak hardware strategy might still fail in the long run, we just haven't seen it yet. Yes, i know Switch 1 had weak hardware but that console was revolutionary, Switch 2 isn't
