If this is genuinely true, then a couple things I have to say.
1. If this is just going to be another Steam Deck, much like it was mentioned being similar to that system, then I am already bored with it. The Steam Deck isn't a bad system, but it's literally just a standard computer with built-in controls, it certainly is a handheld, but it isn't a console. I handle computers quite often already, there's nothing spectacular or special about them. They may boast more power and extra features like ray tracing and all, but quite honestly if you have multiple computers, whether it be laptops, standard towers, thin clients, etc., it really feels like the same stuff, just a different form factor. Computers just aren't that special anymore, it's to the point anything "advanced" just comes off excessive and redundant anymore, and you end up paying your soul just to get to any of it anyways. Even the Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 are kind of on the border of being just as boring, because they aren't far from being a standard computer.
Just waiting for the day when they make computer hardware, don't supply the software, and just tell you that's a console, install Windows, MacOS, or Linux on that and call it a day. That's boring as hell.
2. If Sony does end up treating this like a genuine handheld console (not a damn standard computer in handheld form), then DO NOT ABANDON IT LIKE THE VITA. Give the hardware proper attention and support.
