The biggest update it could get would be to allow it to stream your purchased games like you can already on PS5I assume it showed Sony that even for their ecosystem, the demand for a portable option is high
It's a reasonably good if limited device. I have hopes for a better, more capable follow up some day.
according to most recent estimatesd around 3 percent of the ps5 install base so 2.5 million ish to date. It's a great device especially after they added ps plus streaming to it, literally all you need is wifi and you can play 100+ ps5/ps2 games at 1080p on the go.what do they estimate. 2mill units? meh. i understand they are saying its profitable but its not mainstream in my eyes so niche confirmed. both can be true. It just made me frustrated seeing it as a streaming only device. I want a dedicated PS hand held i can play w/o internet connection
It already can. They made a stealth update and you can stream games if you have the relevant tier of PSN+ directly from the internet without connecting to a PS5.The biggest update it could get would be to allow it to stream your purchased games like you can already on PS5
Sure about that? I don't think you can play purchased games without streaming directly from the console.It's such a wonderful little device. As a first-time dad, this single-handedly saved my gaming hobby for me for the first few years. Nothing sweeter than doing the night shift playing Helldivers 2 on the Portal while you watch the babies sleeping in their cots.

Not just your purchased games. Any games available for streaming on the relevant PSN+ tier can be streamed I believe.

Is this a tease?
It wasn't a stealth update, btw.![]()

A full blown PS handheld is comingC'mon man, don't tease us like that...
Throw us a bone here : are we talking about an upgrade with an OLED screen and Wifi 6 or something else entirely ?
My only gripe with the Portal is the shitty wifi5, not the screen (which is pretty good for an LCD) nor the lack of BT.

That's a sure thing, but I'm wondering if you have your own sources on that?A full blown PS handheld is coming

True it wont fall in the Portal pricing so I guess its not a real refresh of the PortalAh yes, thanks Heis - although I think that it was common knowledge for us nerds by now
Could you give us a guesstimate /timeframe ? Is it gonna be soon or...?
Cheers
PS : Not that the thing is gonna cost near the 200 Eurodollars of the portal but...
(I'm about to get one again for 160 used in mint condition).
The 3DS for sure gave me legit hand cramps. Switch has only been an issue when playing BoTW and TotK, as I tended to have really long gaming sessions.It's the device I didn't know I wanted. None of the current portables are really portable these days, but at least this one is the most comfortable to hold. Holding a switch gives me cramps after a few minutes.

Timing wise somewhere around PS6 launch

It tapes out a few months after the regular PS6 SoC
Nope, currently it can only stream PS Extra games (and not all of them)it already can. They made a stealth update and you can stream games if you have the relevant tier of PSN+ directly from the internet without connecting to a PS5.
Not just your purchased games. Any games available for streaming on the relevant PSN+ tier can be streamed I believe.
Work your magic on making a Logitech GCLOUD 2 please!!
Correction, gamers hate being forced to a cloud-only solution. Cloud gaming is great, as a secondary option.I just like the crazy concept. Gamers HATE cloud gaming.. so Sony creates a device that makes you cloud in cloud gaming.
Wrong I posted the screenshot before the thread was submitted but I have a screenshot of it & will post it in the next threadIn before someone posts a screenshot of his post history.
Secret for what? Portal has now Equal to compare it to & the closest thing is Logitech G Cloud. It's been the number one accessory by revenue for the past year.Yet, they're still keeping sales numbers secret..
