Sony is reportedly developing a new handheld console

With the Nintendo Switch being such a runaway success, and having a successor console on the way, it looks like an old rival might be throwing their hat back into the ring. An insider report from Bloomberg states that Sony is looking to contend in the portable gaming market, and thus, are in the early stages of creating a new handheld device. Supposedly, the concept builds upon the PlayStation Portal, but would, "function as a standalone device like Valve Corp.’s Steam Deck". Bloomberg notes that the release of such a PlayStation-branded handheld would be "years away", or could never be fully realized.

The product is aimed at expanding Sony’s reach and contending with Nintendo Co. for the portable gaming market, according to people familiar with its development. It would also counter any potential mobile hardware from Xbox maker Microsoft Corp., which is working on prototypes in the category as well. Sony’s portable device is likely years away from launch and the company could still decide against bringing it to market, the people said, asking not to be named discussing private plans.

I wouldn't count handheld pcs or even a switch. They aren't really handheld formfactor. The switch is a bit more gray zone but I find it too heavy.

    I had a friend who played the heck out of it. He had an Amiga 2000. He used to beat it with a crazy amount of extra lives because he knew where most of the 1UPs were.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @anotherthing, I never had an amiga pc
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of Amiga, I really wish MrHuu would add support for more than two floppy drives to the 3DS UAE emulator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @anotherthing, I'd like for someone to make an amiga emulator for the ds (bc Im not talented enough for that)
  • A @ anotherthing:
    The DS is more than powerful enough, I'd think. The problem might be the memory, though.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    What's the MSX limit on the DS? MSX2?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Yes, I have got an A500+.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @anotherthing, Yea I think it was the msx2
  • A @ anotherthing:
    I had an A500, A3000 and an A1200. I wish I'd never gotten rid of the A1200. The A3000 was kind of unruly when I got rid of it. It was basically in two cases, since I ran out of space for harddrives in the original case.

    I traded in

    the A500 to get the A3000 back when Commodore offered that PowerUp deal.

    Nothing like copying 102GB to a 128GB SD card. So exciting to watch.

    It was pretty slow, less than 10MB/s as it was doing the tiny files. It's picking up now that it's in the bigger files.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    that's pretty fast for tiny files
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Typically it goes between 7-8MB/sec on the tiny ones. I'm using the SanDisk cards that Wal-Mart sells for $15 in their phone section.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    I'm more picky about cards larger than 256GB. The 128GB, the Wal-Mart ones seem to last pretty long, so I go with that.
