Sony is so fucking stupid. Everyone in leadership who okayed this needs to be removed from the company.Thought this was meant to be a PS6 portable that would launch alongside the PS6 console, acting as a lower spec variant for more portable minded gamers, which developers would also need to target a la Series S - now it's a lower spec PS5?
This thing is dead on arrival, especially when Switch 2 will be in its peak sales years in 2027-8.

No it wouldn't be. The Steam Deck tops out at 4 million after 5 years. The Switch doesn't sell because it's a dedicated handheld, it isn't one.A modern day handheld that can play your library of games you already own or through cloud would be a giant boost. No need to buy dedicated handheld games.
If they do this, I will legit not buy a PS6. They've already set up so many pitfalls this gen, there's really no point engaging in the next if they reproduce a Series S situation and make it even WORSE.
Seriously about to buy enough Sony stock to ask them why the fuck they keep copying Microsoft's bad decisions after watching them fail.
