A reader is dubious about the concept of Sony making a new portable and points to the failures of the PS Vita and PSVR2 as reasons why.

Bloomberg reports that Sony is "in the early stages" of work on a fully portable console that can play PlayStation 5 software. The device is still "likely years away from launch," according to "people familiar with its development" that spoke to Bloomberg anonymously.

Move over, PlayStation Portal—a new Sony handheld is seemingly in the works. But could it compete with the Nintendo Switch or Valve's Steam Deck?

After watching Nintendo dominate the gaming landscape over the last eight years with a hybrid game console, Sony is getting ready to challenge the Switch with a new handheld console of its own. Bloomberg reports that Sony is in the early stages of developing a portable game console capable of playing PS5 games natively.

Spurred from sales of its $199 PS Portal gaming handheld, Sony is reportedly working on a dedicated handheld device that will play PlayStation 5 games.

The PlayStation 5 Pro allows for better framerates and graphical fidelity, but you need the right game to make the strongest impression.
