If indeed PS6 has both a home console and a portable/hybrid SKU, which are you more interested in? (and why)

So the console is preferred so far, but not overwhelmingly.

Seems the cost/diminishing returns angle is making the portable more appealing to the PS crowd than it might otherwise have been, given the PS4 outsold the Vita by like 9:1 back in the day.

Yeah the handheld might fare better than expected, but it's mainly because most home console players will stick to their PS5's.

If a stationary version of the handheld is released though (effectively a home console, let's call it "PS6 Lite"), then the majority of the remaining PS4 players as well as the new players looking to enter the ecosystem will go for that instead, because it's the cheapest option.

Yeah a lot will depend on pricing.

A PS6 Lite would presumably still have at least 16GB of RAM, maybe 24GB, which is the main limiting factor in console prices atm, so getting it to a low price point might not be possible for a while without eating a huge loss.

They could of course have a model with less, like the Series S. That brings its own challenges, but given the games will all need to run on PS5 anyway, maybe 16Gb would be feasible.
