    I honestly don’t know how this is supposed to succeed unless it’s literally a handheld PS4, and even then, the market for that over a Steam Deck is likely minuscule.

      Even if it’s a handheld PS4, if it can’t play any latest PS5 games, then Sony would need to support it with games made specifically for it, and I don’t think they give enough output to support two systems.

      Steam Deck is supported by the huge steam library, so difficult to compete with it without good first party support.

      Steam Deck User base: “This shit doesn’t even play Duke 3D or neogeo” toss

      Sony don’t get that the entire reason I like my Deck is that it’s a swiss-army-knife for gaming.

      Unless Sony is competing with a Windows or Linux x64 SBC like Valve, Asus and MSI did, it ain’t happening. It will then be a product not for us, but for mainline Sony fans, when it could be for both.

      buuuut it won’t be.
