What are your thoughts on the rumored PlayStation handheld?

I think a more robust Portal could be very successful, but Sony doesn't have enough first party developers to support two platforms, and it limits what they can do. I wonder how something like PSSR could be utilized in this space. 

I have been watching the reception of the cloud update for the Portal and a lot more people are buying it thanks to it, some are even buying it as their first PS5 experience. A lot of people are really liking the cloud experience, my country doesn't have cloud LOL so I can't test but it really sounds like he days of worrying about making specific games for the portable console are over. The thing is going to run ps5 games native and the ps6 games it won't run are most likely going to be playable with cloud.

It really makes sense to release one.

I wonder if we'd be in a cross gen situation next generation where PS5/PS6/PS5 Portable are all getting the same games for a while. 

Graphics can be pretty scalable, a lot of this depends on how it gets worked. 

I think it's extremely essential that it plays the same games. Sony doesn't have the developer power to support two platforms. 

If I have to guess I say that yes there will be cross gen games the first couple years like with the ps5 because of the economy and because thanks to covid many projects designed for ps5 will release when the ps6 is already out. When the time comes to go full ps6 they can either release an updated hardware or cloud.
