And as for the 2 people using it at the same (time) fantasy ....realize the price of cloud gaming eventually has to include not only the cost of the game but the cost to use the hardware in the cloud. So even if the entire fantasy was 100% reality ...you're not going to save any money.

Another obstacle to the fantasy are these $99 devices.

Yes.

No. The new ps portal needs very minimal power.


No. The "new ps portal" will be its controller (normal dualsense also an option).

Having separate module means Sony can sell the core processing module as a standalone device for so little of a price.

The "new ps portal" will have a slot at the back to mount the core processing module. Then you have a cloud streaming device that is also usable on its own.

I'm wondering the same thing, did PS6 and PS6 portable officially announced or is this just people's wishful thinking?

A very reliable chip leaker has said that a mobile SoC for PlayStation based on PS6's architecture is in development alongside the normal PS6 SoC, with both systems scheduled to hit the market in 2027.

What about we imagine a PS6 (Most powerful console) and PS6P (Most powerful handheld) that share the same library?

Scary idea if you hated Sony.

A proper handheld device requires a different approach to give you a decent experience, which includes a battery that last more than 25 minutes.

I want PS6 to be able to push boundaries in terms of technology. A portable device first PS6 will sacrifice one thing and that's performance in order to fit in the palm of your hand.

Think Steam Deck and think about how some of the more heavy games are not available (are not verified). One way of having your cake and eat it too is to have games that are cross-gen. Sure, you have to make two versions of the game which is not ideal, but we already have cross-gen games. And for every God of War Ragnarok (a decent game that didn't push the boundary in terms of scale or fidelity) we have a Spider-man 2 which does push at least the SSD to its limit for the fast movement.

I'm not sure what Sony wants to do next generation, but I think the whole industry has become smaller due to many factors so I think it is safe to assume Sony will at least attempt to reinvent themselves some how. Top tier graphics do fit a niche they need to cover, but unsure what else they can do push their brand forward and a PlayStation Switch does fit the trend chasing Sony has been doing for the past 5-10 years (Concord, Marathon, etc)

The "Flawed Dock System" is one Part what was responsible for the Success of the Nintendo Switch

Wait, hold on.... the PS Portal currently exists...

And somehow, some people think a PS Portal 2 would be a standalone console complete with unique games and PS6 game ports?





Why?

Think of a PS Portal, then you attach the entire guts of a PS5 behind it. It would be as confortable as putting both your hands inside a meat grinder and turning it on. Amazing.

Nope. The "new ps portal" will simply be thinner and will have slot/pocket or latch at the back to dock the core processing module of the PS6 portable. That's the idea.

So, when you want to use your tv to play your ps6 portable games, you just remove the core processing module and connect it to the tv. You "new ps portal" is your controller.

Since these are basically two devices now, Sony can sell them separately or in a package.

PS6 portable will have 15w soc whose power is between xss and ps5. PS5 is a 200w machine.u

Not only that but it would have to have 2 socs, one for the controller Shell with screen to work and another for the processing stuff while docked/undocked. Amazing.

controller shell with screen can have <1w soc used only for streaming
