Sony is working on a new portable game console, which is currently in an early stage of development, with the idea of competing in a market segment in which Nintendo currently has a significant presence.
PS Portable and PS Vita are the names under which Sony launched its portable video game consoles on the market, in 2004 and 2011 (first in Japan), respectively, although both have been retired for more than a decade.
The technology firm has since opted for its desktop hardware, with PlayStation 4 (2013) and PlayStation 5 (2020), and their variants. However, at this time Nintendo has managed to carve out a niche not only in desktop consoles, but also in portable consoles with its hybrid Nintendo Switch bet.
To try to contain Nintendo’s presence in the portable console market, Sony is working on a new team, as reported by sources familiar with its development to Bloomberg.
This console It is still in an early development phase years after its launchand according to sources, Sony could still decide not to finally bring it to market.
The PlayStation catalog currently has PS Portal, a device linked to PS5 that allows you to continue playing the game started on the home console remotely. However, as the proposal was not a true cloud gaming tool, Sony recently announced the test of streaming PS5 games without having to have this console connected.
In addition, new names have appeared in the portable console market, driven by streaming services, such as Lenovo Legion Go, Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck, to name a few.
