What should Sony do for the next Playstation?

PSSR 2.0 is such a significant upgrade over 1.0, that I do have to wonder if the handheld is a PS5 lite type of situation but with PSSR 3.0 (and future upgrades) to really help get PS6 level graphics just without PS6 specific features.

But I would also agree that a PS5 lite handheld in of itself is not that exciting if you own a PS5 right now. But I suppose this depends on price point and hardware features. Either way, I think Sony hardware is going to be very exciting to see in the next few years.

I'm a PS5 owner and I'm hugely excited for the Hybrid. I imagine image quality will beat PS5 when docked and it could handle RT better but more or less you'd be looking at similar performance profiles as PS5 in most games. I'd spend decent money to replace my current PS5 with a portable/hybrid system, but if you remove that hybrid function I think you're left with a far less compelling device for existing owners. It'd be like trying to sell a very muted mid-gen upgrade to people who don't like spending money, an oxymoron of sorts.

I'd be interested to see if there are innovations though that do arise from the new hardware including OS and gameplay functions.
