He stated that the company was in the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a possible launch.
Sounds like it’s not a real thing yet, in my opinion. Companies as big as Sony are always “exploring” new products, that doesn’t mean they’ll be real. For the record, I love my Steam Deck, and I hope the portable market expands. But this isn’t real news, IMO.
Time to watch them fuck up another handheld.
The vita could’ve been so successful if Sony wasn’t braindead
They could just release it today with added L/R 2+3 buttons and, even without a game card slot and only an SD slot, it would just fly off the shelves.
It was a better looking device too. I would buy a vita right now if it played even just a fraction of the PS5 library and streamed the rest. I gave serious thought to buying one and modding it for retro games. I have never once considered the portal and I’ve had every PlayStation console except the first PS1 and their VR stuff.
I got a vita last year from a friend (he played it like a week when it was new) and I just love it! The buttons feel extremely nice and it in itself feels extremely premium and responsive
The Vita was such a nice piece of hardware. I don’t understand why just flat out ghosted their own product like they did.
If it’s backwards compatible with PSP, Vita, PS1, then I’m down. Otherwise, meh.
Besides access to console-exclusive titles, what does this thing do better than a Steam Deck? The fact that it requires an internet connection to be useful is an instant turn off.
For what it’s worth, the posted article isn’t talking about the Portal - actually talking about a theoretical unconfirmed new handheld.
Yeah…I was confused. My bad.
What console exclusives are there these days?
OK so…there’s no reason to buy this thing? Got it
