1. You clearly haven't seen the performance of the Ai Max+ 395 chipset. It has the power of a PS5 and it is in the GPD win 5 handheld. 2. Why's this relevant? I was just using the GPD win 5 as an example of a powerful chipset in a small PS6P like chassis. 3. OK sure. This point doesn't apply to PS6P though does it? 4. Why do you think it will be so hard to match PS5 performance? It's already 5 years old. My prediction is that the base model of development for new games will still be the PS5, and the game will be scaled to the other PS6 platforms. Not going to be difficult for a handheld to match PS5 if it's launching in 2027 when we already have the Ai Max+ 395 chipset in small handhelds. The belief that It can't easily match the PS5 is crazy. Again, you've just been conditioned into accepting weak hardware and that strong hardware isn't possible in handheld. |
1) Post for me this gaming handheld that matches PS5 performance in a game so I can be educated :)
Edit: AMD Strix Halo gaming handheld lacks an internal battery — GPD Win 5 requires an external battery or be plugged into the wall
... Yeah, no. And at $2000 too!! lolol. Well I stand corrected in that there WILL be a "handheld" by the end of the year which have PS5 performance and and it's explains precisely why this conversation is really silly. That is not a mainstream device, not today and not in 2 years.
2) You're not getting any of my former mentioned points so I don't think there's any worth discussing the broader topic. I'll agree to disagree and leave it there

The price has not been announced yet so you are being extremely disingenuous to claim a price has been announced. You missed my point, in the world of tech What is expensive and high end now becomes mid range and cheap within a short time frame. We still have 2 years until PS6P launches, and there is no way Sony are going to launch a handheld that is getting blown out of the water by a handheld released in 2025. Also, the battery is only technically external, as it just clips on to the back so I don't know why you find that to be such an issue as it's just a design choice. Means you can quickly swap batteries etc.

The thing is though, because the PS5 has no bottlenecks what has happened is that, the cost to produce is it's biggest problem, and not it's aging technology. Normally it's the other way around. So, this time Sony needs to re-balance that again and a handheld PS5 called PS6P will be the result of that. It will definitely hold back gaming but they have no choice because they need to create a mass market product and that's not possible without going really cheap next gen. A gaming console that is limited and holding things back is still better than one that doesn't even exist. |
Would 10th gen be better off with a single PS6 home console SKU that costs $750 to $1000? or Would 10th gen be better off with PS6P leak range hardware, and possibly a home console in the PS5 to PS5 Pro range? What matters most about the hardware is that it's seen as strong enough, for cheap enough, by the masses. SNY at the end of the day wants to sell as much software as possible, and this handheld hybrid/home console route would be the best path to that. |
Agreed, but the PS6P baseline performance will match PS5's. PS5 will be ancient by the time it launches and it won't be hard to achieve. It might have a weaker GPU but they will just use FSR4 to boost it up to the same resolution as PS5 games.
Why release a PS6 home console that is in PS5 and PS5 pro range when those consoles already exist? Only explanation for that would be a PS vita TV style device that's super cheap, but Sony still needs a high end option. Overall, we agree though.
