| Hardstuck-Platinum said: 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. |
I'm not being "extremely disingenuous" by posting the ballpark of what many industry folk are expecting of it's price. I'm making the point that it's going to be crazy expensive.
What Price do you expect it be? You must have expectations in order for you to be making the argument and believing it will be afforable in 2027.
And I didn't miss that point, I disagreed with it. I said this will not be afforable in 2 years. How much have you seen the steamdeck drop in price since 2023? How much are newer premium handhelds like the Rog Alloy and Legion Go 2?
I want you to make sense of your own arguments, throw me some estimations of what you think this device will cost when it launches and subsequently how much it will cost in 2 years. Also do you think the mainstream market for handheld likes the design choice of needing a heavy external battery attached to the back of their machine? Do you think it will help make playstation portable a success to have a similar feature and a 70wat consumption in portable mode?
All of this relates to what we understand of what will make a successful portable device from Sony and I feel I've been very clear in what I consider to be the key components of success. You seem to be looking at power in vacuum, independent on what developers are actually doing, independent of what what price of hardware actually is at the moment, independent of usability, independent of architecture. This is why I said I don't think you understand the market you're talking about if you think there is no value in a portable the power of the PS5 with future proof PS6 feature set.
