(Grain of Salt) Moore's Law is Dead: PS6 SoC codenamed 'Orion', PS6 Portable SoC codenamed 'Canis'

It's really starting to look like PS6 gen will have 2 skus: One home and one portable. Both will play the same games (obviously less resolution, etc for the portable).
Kinda like if the switch was a home console only and Switch Lite is the handheld version of it.
The home console will not be released with a disc. You will have to buy it separately (almost for sure).
This is my bet.

Of course, we'll always be hearing Kepler.

I want it to be its own device that doesn't require devs to make a dumbed-down version of every game for the handheld device. As a standalone device, I would probably purchase it (depending on what types of games developers are making for it). As an extension of the PlayStation 6, I'm really not interested, and I think that's going to gimp development for the entire generation.

Mostly all of us buy any system because it has games we want to play.
That my entire reason why I bough Gameboy, DS, PSP, 3DS and PSVita….if PS6 portable just gonna be port machine for console version then to me it just waste of money.

The entire point of the portable isn't for people to have the choice between a home console and a portable one. I don't think this ia a PSP kind of situation and let's hope it isn't. Imagine Sony with two platforms to make games again lol. That's one of the things that killed the Vita.

Yes when I don't have to pay for two separate systems. Also I didn't buy Switch because it has "portable mode" I bought it because it has games I want to play and portable mode was just a nice bonus.
Also entire point of "hybrid" having both TV mode and portable in one system, if I have buy another separate system then kinda lose entire point of "hybrid" in the first place.

I'm pretty sure anyone who wants a new console AND handheld play but can't afford to buy both will just get the PS6P.
Like me.

If portable gaming very important to you then I guess.
I bought all my systems including portable systems mostly because it had exclusive games I want to play.

I guess it depends if you prefer TV play.

For me it doesn't matter, if a system portable or console has exclusive games I like then I will buy that system no question…if system doesn't have it own exclusive then it's waste of my money.

I don't see the problem with it, it's just another way to play the same games for different types of players.
I wish Nintendo releases a TV only Switch 2 BTW, same for Valve and the Steam Deck

But look at it like this, if you had to choose between a normal PS6 and PS6 Portable, which one would be? That would certainly depend on how you want to play.

Console no question since I never take any of my system outside of my house.

I'd get both, but realistically I love the Switch model that allows both. I would buy them even harder if they were actually separate ecosystems and not just platform mirrors with performance differences, but I know those days are dead.
I do wish I could just broadcast to the television like I can with my YouTube app from the phone or something but a dock is fine.
And this is coming from someone who traditionally does not favor handhelds. Don't get me wrong I own them and bought them all, gb, gbc, gba, psp, etc. But most of the time I would play them with TV tuners or adapters on the big screen. The Switch is honestly the first device that has got me sometimes choosing portable actively as strange as that is.

A portable system can still include the option to output to a TV.

You know how much Sony loves accessories. There def will be a dock to buy if you want it.

I can confirm Canis is the codename for the handheld. As for the PS6 console I heard a different codename, but maybe it was for an earlier revision and Orion is the final name.

Ad we learned with the Vita. No one is going to make games exclusively for it. Even Sony abandoned the thing.

Sure but again if it doesn't have its own exclusive then why would I buy this instead of actual PS6 console?
I bought Switch not because it portable mode but rather because it had exclusive games I want to play.

So you can play ps6 games on the bed, loo, airplane, porch, beach without worrying about Wi-Fi signal.

I don't take my gaming system outside my house. I love gaming but when I go outside or vacation, I'm there to do something other than gaming.

No tech exists to make the interconnect fast enough. 256 GB/s is still too slow to make two GPUs appear coherent as one.

Really EGPUs exist today that allow rogs to use much higher video

Yeah but you're no longer using the APU's GPU.

So you guys want the system to go the way of the dodo like the vita again, what a brilliant idea.

Vita failed because Sony stopped supporting the game just became port matching.
PSP in other hand was successful.

PS6 is going to be an hybrid console…

Japanese devs does like to make games on portable systems…not much western devs and this gen majority Sony first party studio are western.

And this won't be like the series s?
Proelite

Not memory wise. CPU and compute wise it'll be even weaker comparative to the more powerful SKU than series s vs x.

Actually… Worse. Thats why i think this doesn't make any sense, but an hybrid console is the most logical move, with Sony releasing all their games on PC they doesn't have to worry about having the most powerful console anymore… Just the most powerful hybrid…

Because the real PS6 is going to be very expensive, and some markets (Japan) like handheld gaming over console gaming.

And Sony needs those Japanese devs. Now they'll just have to hope they want to make more games on PS. Sony won the battle gen(not counting Nintendo, because they're doing their own thing), but they have a hell of a war ahead of them.

The issue with that is unlike Nintendo, Sony this gen dont have much games that appeals to Japanese audience.
90% Sony first party are made by western studio.

I mean, even if physical media was on the cards, it will surely not support BD/UHD BDs.

Same.
I'd rather it just be something to play PS5 and PS4 games.
Let PS6 be its own thing.

This actually peaks my interest. If the portable plays ps6 games and it is reasonably priced (ie 500USD) I'm in.
I felt ps5 would be my last playstation given my lack of time at home to play games coupled with the output of games this generation I want to play.
It's interesting Sony are ditching Shakespearian names and going with constellations for next gen.

Kepler is a good source but MLID is providing valuable leaks that Kepler is adding to.
Series S was mandatory but if a handheld can play your crossgen PS5 games, PS4, and not the entire PS6 library that might be too demanding for handhelds what's the problem? Would it be as "dumb" as a steamdeck?
