>Jim Ryan retires >Sony starts making better decisions within the year He really was a malignant tumor of a man

Wake me up when (((Sony))) has exclusive games worth playing again.

>>1043418 And for non-exclusive games, a PS5 handheld probably won't offer anything better than Steam Deck 2. Who's this shit for?

>>1043413 >>inspired by the Steam Deck Impossible, unless they don't really understand what the Steam Deck really is. The Steam Deck isn't just a portable games machine - it's a development platform for Proton, and a direct challenge to Microsoft's OS dominance. Which is why Microsoft is largely failing in the console wars - they don't matter to Microsoft, and the "Xbox" is no longer a console, but a "Game Ecosystem" that runs on multiple third party devices. If they cannot out-maneuver Proton, they'll tie everything up in services you have to pay Microsoft for regardless. Microsoft has also talked about opening up their new Xbox Ecosystem, including consoles, up to third party storefronts like Epic and Steam. So the next generation Xbox and (likely their upcoming handheld) will play PC games. It actually WILL BE just like a Steam Deck - just with GamePass/Xcloud built in. That's not something Sony can do. Even if they do open the Playstation build of FreeBSD to Proton and let you play PC games on it (with PSNow/PS+ built in), for what purpose would it serve? Sony doesn't have an OS or Server market to protect. Opening up the Playstation Ecosystem to PC games and third party storefronts would only hurt their bottom line - and video games are Sony's primary money maker. A new Playstation handheld would have to remain a closed "Playstation Only" platform, and use exclusives to draw customers in. Which hey, THAT'S what I want to see... but they can't say it's inspired by the Steam Deck when it's really just a PSP2/PSVita2 traditional handheld and not a gaming PC built into a controller. >>>is what the Portal was meant to be? I doubt it. I think the PSPortal was just a byproduct of a deal they cut for cheaper prices on OLED panels for the PSVR2. The entire concept of the PSPortal is so half-baked that I have a hard time believing it was actually a ground-up developed platform extension - and not just something slapped together in a rush to make their money back by selling shit nobody asked for to idiots. This is the same kind of shit that resulted in the original PSVR using PSMove controllers. Sony went all in on Move and it flopped hard, so they just integrated those old antiquated controllers into their VR unit in order to clear out the warehouses of unsold producbot linkanwhile the entire VR industry left them in the dust in terms of controllers and software because the moves didn't even have fucking analog sticks. >>>isn't planned to be new architecture, will be based on the PS5 Of course. They're going to try to make it into a mobile PS5, because by the time it comes out, the PS6 will either be launched or close to launch. Let it play MOST PS5 titles (probably won't be powerful enough to play them all) and then stream PS6 titles from a PS6 console like how PSP could stream games from PS3. I just hope, if this is all true, we actually do get some actual exclusives for the system and it's not just a PS5 portable. If I wanted a PS5, I'd buy a PS5, and making it (not) fit in my pocket isn't going to change my mind. Shitter is... I bet the fucking thing won't even have backwards compatibility with PSVita or PSP. They largely pretend those systems never existed, and it'll just be PS4/PS5 games and everything else being the PS+/PSNow versions.

>>1043413 I have a very strong feeling that it will literally just be a ps4 or ps4 pro squeezed down into a handheld. One that'll be compatible with all existing ps4 games. If there was one guy on jewtube who was able to make it work. Sony could definitely make one that was worthy of mass production.

>>1043421 >all existing ps4 games So Bloodborne? The only exclusive worth shit on PS4, playable soon on Steam Deck through ShadPS4? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AyoPRr9KFI

>>1043423 Yes. But also Gravity Rush 2 >>1043420 You're overthinking the "inspired by Steam Deck bit", they only added that in there as fluff, since the Deck is the only real competitor to the switch right now. It won't be a PC, won't have touchpads, won't be an open platform, and won't do anything besides games. The only similarities they will have is: >Dock >Digital only >Larger/more powerful than the switch And that's it.

>>1043419 It's for Sony, primarily. If this thing plays PS5/PS4 games, and doesn't have a suite of exclusives just for the PSP2/Vita2, then it won't have an option for physical media. You can't fit a Blu-Ray player on a portable. Sony doesn't like how well the disk-drive add-on for the PS5Slim/PS5Pro is selling, and lots of people online these days are advocating for maintaining physical media options. A portable PS4/PS5 that can remotely stream PS6 games will be a powerful incentive for customers to buy digital so that everything fits on internal storage, and streamed games can be changed remotely without the need for someone to be at the system to swap disks.

>>1043419 >And for non-exclusive games, a PS5 handheld probably won't offer anything better than Steam Deck 2. Who's this shit for? normalfags, anon normalfags are retarded, they see ad, they consume shit product. that's the normalfag way. what's better doesn't matter this will sell 10-20 times steam deck

>>1043413 >Wonders what Bloomberg's source is >Checks article <According to people familiar with its development <The people asking not to be named <The people <A Sony spokeswoman declined to comment What a fucking non-story, sage.

>>1043424 >You're overthinking the "inspired by Steam Deck bit", they only added that in there as fluff, since the Deck is the only real competitor to the switch right now. But that whole line of thinking is completely retarded. The Steam Deck and Switch aren't really direct competitors, since the Switch is sold primarily on it's first party exclusives while the Steam Deck is an almost entirely third party platform. It's literally just a bog standard computer built into a controller, and Valve has given little to zero fucks about competitors like the ROG Ally since all roads in PC gaming pretty much lead back to Steam. They aren't even selling it in retail stores. Meanwhile Microsoft is making moves to make a true Steam Deck competitor by making pretty much the exact same thing - just Windows based and with Xbox Ecosystem integration. If anything, a PSP2/PSVita 2 would be inspired by the Switch as they are the far closer products in terms of functionality and purpose. The Switch is the far more popular device anyhow. I know it's just Bloomberg but holy shit that is a retarded and disconnected "fluff" comparison to make. It's like they're just running a paid advertisement and don't understand how the market is fundamentally shifting going into next generation. Sony "won" the console wars - and they are a stand-alone company in the market now. Nintendo carved out an alternate market for themselves long ago. And Microsoft is strategizing more around what Valve is doing these days, and not even competing over video games at that - but to make sure their 80+% control of PC operating systems doesn't slip to 75%. Remember that the only reason why the last 25 years of Xbox even exist in the first place is because Bill Gates was shit-scared of Sony turning the PS2 into a living-room computer, when all of the promises of a PC-like future for the PS2 just ended up being them blowing smoke up the asses of EU customs in order to skirt import tariffs on luxury electronics

>>1043435 If everything is true, it might be some sort of ego or pride from Sony to say that they are inspired by the Valve's Steam Deck which isn't really a competitor to them, than to say that they are inspired by Nintendo's Switch, a company they have been at war with, ever since the CD addon to the N64 failed and they launched the Playstation brand.

Why the hell would they be inspired by something that has yet to sell more than some of the lowest selling game consoles of all time? Moreover, I remember when people were saying the Deck was inspired by the Switch, this is just 2 layers of retardation at this point.

>>1043459 I assume it's the Deck's crossplay they're really looking at. You can play a game on your PC, then go to your Deck and pick up right where you left off. They might want a PS6-PSP2 synergy in a way they've never had with their other handhelds.

>>1043413 >handheld It's gonna be a pile of shit you can use to stream games from your actual piss station 5.

>>1043424 >But also Gravity Rush 2 Man poor Wipeout gets no love these days...

>>1043470 It's like carpet you can watch outside.

>>1043413 >Sony reportedly working on new (actual) handheld I don't fucking care! Wake me up when they start firing department heads for all the shit they've pulled over the past two decades.

>>1043425 >A portable PS4/PS5 that can remotely stream PS6 games will be a powerful incentive for customers to buy digital so that everything fits on internal storage, and streamed games can be changed remotely without the need for someone to be at the system to swap disks. Yeah, they tried to force that with the Vita, until Japan literally told them that the system will not sell unless it has physical game cartridges. >>1043435 >It's like they're just running a paid advertisement That's probably what the article is.

>>1043484 >until Japan literally told them that the system will not sell unless it has physical game cartridges. Yeah, but that was more than 13 years ago, things have changed, and I doubt Sony's game division cares that much about what Japan thinks, anymore.

>>1043420 >storefronts people don't like those at all, nor do they like exclusives. they hog system resources and take your ownership away. PC is thriving thanks to its ability to own your software and access your library from one system just look at how people are pissed off at the streaming fragmentation wars, and shitdroid after jewgle's continued attempts to lock fucking everything down to force their shitty store down everyone's throats.

>>1043507 >PC is thriving thanks to its ability to own your software <Owning you games <Steam Anon, be honest, are you mentally retarded?

>>1043413 Reflavored Tablet or Single Board Computer, call it.

>>1043513 There's multiple tools to crack steam DRM, also not every game there has DRM.

>>1043520 Can I access, download, and/or install these games outside of the Steam client?

>>1043521 Whilst I understand your point, for most people this would be the same as having to use a browser to download a GOG game. It's the better choice compared to a digital only console route.

>>1043524 >for most people this would be the same as having to use a browser to download a GOG game There is nothing restrictive about downloading a game from GOG (Aside from two games AFAIK). You have the choice of using their Galaxy client, Chrome, Pale Moon, and so on. If your web browser can access the site, you can download your games. In addition, I can then take that download, copy it to a flash drive, and then instal the game on another computer. So I don't even need to use my home computer to access my vidya collection. >It's the better choice compared to a digital only console route. No, it is the same thing because if you don't have an internet connection, you cannot access your games. The only thing it's "better" than is GAAS, because you can still access the games you've downloaded and installed previously but nothing else.

>>1043459 >something that has yet to sell more than some of the lowest selling game consoles of all time Because "the lowest selling" in general is blatantly wrong (CD-i, which is really low but not lowest of all time, sold 1 million in four years while Valve already claims to have sold multiple million decks) I'm assuming you meant "their lowest selling" and are counting PocketStation as a peripheral (over portable console in its own right) : The limited figures we have say it's not that far behind Vita, while the Vita had a shitton more marketing and had retailers eating a large chunk of the unit price splitting (most Steamdecks are mail order direct from Valve, while Walmart, Amazon etc. was getting a chunk off every PlayStation). >>1043423 Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 2, City Shrouded in Shadow, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, and The Last Guardian also I guess Gundam Breaker 3 at a playable frame rate (which is mostly obsolete to GB4) and Gravity Rush HD plus a few PS3+PS4 titles that aren't on PC yet.

>>1043530 The things you've mentioned can be done with certain steam games.I can take a DRM free game from steam, put it on a external hard drive and play it on another computer. There's also steam offline mode.

>>1043534 >I can take a DRM free game from steam, How? You need the Steam client downloaded and installed in order to even download the game.

>>1043513 >steam is the only thing that exists on PC you're the retard here. anyway, cucksoles are cucked beyond belief >can't back up or take your saves with you >monthly retard tax >can't back up your games >say word, money stolen >comms are monitored by corpos, even private conversations with friends >automated report systems that punish you without recourse >if your system clock expires your system (and disc drive too) stop working until you (((revalidate licenses))) compare that to android for example, which now possesses DRM to impede installation from apk files. it's barely any different from ios and the crapple store nowadays

>>1043536 >can't back up or take your saves with you What are memory cards? Also you can transfer the save files of your PS3/Wii (U) games to a USB or SD card. Cannot attest to the current consoles as I don't own them and never seen a discussion on it. >>monthly retard tax True of every Xbox and console released since 2013, but none of the ones prior. >can't back up your games Yes, you can. Playing them is another matter. The only exception I've seen is the Wii U discs, which can only be backed up by softmodding the system. >say word, money stolen Only true for the Xbox. The PS4/PS5 only needs an internet connection in the event that the CMOS battery dies. >comms are monitored by corpos, even private conversations with friends See above response >automated report systems that punish you without recourse "" >if your system clock expires your system (and disc drive too) stop working until you (((revalidate licenses))) ""

>>1043537 >What are memory cards? useless because your memory card is formatted exclusively for your system, and saves are stored on internal storage, making it impossible to extract them >the ones prior. what's the point of old consoles? no one's gonna hunt down 10+ year-old hardware. meanwhile a current day PC can run games from 1st gen to the present day. hell, chinkhelds offer a better deal than modern cucksoles >The PS4/PS5 only needs an internet connection in the event that the CMOS battery dies. if you think this is anything short of preposterous then I don't know what the fuck to tell you. not to mention the increasing amount of games that requires patches to be complete, even on shitch >See above response you can't download and update games without internet so it's a given that you'll have to connect >Yes, you can. Playing them is another matter what's the fucking point of backups that can't be restored? are you retarded or just pretending?

>>1043431 Sounds like Bloomberg just made up fake news. >>1043532 >Because "the lowest selling" in general is blatantly wrong "Some of the lowest-selling," not "the lowest-selling." A couple million Decks is the WonderSwan, Pico, Color-TV Game, and Intellivision tier. PS2 reached 155 million units sold. >list of mostly unrecognizable kusoge, plus Bloodborne Really proves PS4's a Bloodborne player. The first PS sold 123 mostly exclusive games over a million times each. Gran Turismo, FF7-9, Crash, Spyro, Metal Gear Solid. Meanwhile PS4's best are "City Shrouded in Shadow"? "Gundam Breaker"? Not looking good. Don't need a portable PS4.

>>1043541 Third party estimates put Deck at over 3 million in (at most) 1.5 years, and Valve officially confirms multi-million. >wonderswan 3.5 million over 4 years and 2 revisions. >Sega Pico 4 million over 4 years. Deck has likely already beaten. >Color-TV Game 3 million lifetime over 6 years. >Intellivision Less than 4 million over 3 years. That was 20% of the video game market at the time. >PS2 reached 155 million units sold Over 12 years. If you go through Sony's quarterlys, you'll learn the PS2 sales weren't all that much better than PS4 by quarter, but they kept selling for 12 years.

I see the thread is in the "line >greentext line >greentext" phase with spergs arguing. Mods might as well delete it at this point, it's served its purpose.

>>1043540 >no one's gonna hunt down 10+ year-old hardware I did >meanwhile a current day PC can run games from 1st gen to the present day No, it doesn't. Excluding DOS programs and games because it's a "different" OS from Windows, I have dozens of Windows 3.1 programs and games that cannot be installed (Forget even opening) on a PC running something as "recent" as Windows Vista. >if you think this is anything short of preposterous In what way? >you can't download and update games without internet so it's a given that you'll have to connect I have several games on my PS3 that do have dozens of updates and DLC, but I can still run them without connecting to the internet nor downloading the updates. >what's the fucking point of backups that can't be restored? They can be restored for some systems like the early CD consoles. However later systems like the PS2 and Wii need you to softmod the systems in order to play the backups.

>>1043544 Is it GCfaggot again

>>1043548 Yeah it's GCfaggot sperging, just ignore him.

>>1043543 Keep in mind that the Steam Deck is not readily available in most stores in the USA nor is it super available worldwide.

>>1043413 >Shittier PC, proprietary software restrictions imposed by Soyny, with no games Buying this before a handheld PC is retarded, get a Steam Deck, Rog Ally, or Legion Go

>>1043413 are people even going to buy this? the PS5 line up is awful and there wouldn't be a reason to get this over a steam deck, hell at least the switch has exclusive games for normalniggers to play.

>>1043569 Sports and CoDheads. Sony's software quarterly sales have been down since the PS5's launch despite counting both PS4 and PS5 sales while an estimated half of their userbase was still on PS4 relatively recently, which suggests people just aren't buying much software. Even in the (not intended to be public) FTC reports they used the dodgy "PlayStation family" wording when listing sales.

>>1043535 You need a web browser to download anything, fucking web browser DRM

>>1043763 You need internet to download anything or friends to download for you. Fucking real life DRM!

>>1043764 >enter store >DRM tags on all the products It's getting out of hand

>>1043771 >need to have a constant flow of air, and connection to food and water resources, or you loose permanent access to """your""" body The truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

>>1043544 These same faggots have too much time and too little dicklet egos to not put arguments. Ignore them and talk about how software is the main thing that has degraded between console generations. Aside from Astrobot (which is a fantastic old school game) there is nothing on ps5 even worth it

>>1043789 >dicklet Where did you come from and why are you not still there?

>>1043789 >dicklet It's called "willy" around these parts, stranger.

>>1043795 >>1043796 Touched a nerve? >>1043789 Sony should realize from all their AAA failures and the ONLY success they had with Astrobot that that's where the money is. A handheld Astrobot/platformer machine from sony is the best way forward for them. No one cares about super-duper high resolution shit after the ps5pro disaster >that image that's the biggest bullshit statement I've ever heard

>>1043980 >Astro bot Looks ok but not "half thousand $" ok when ps5's astrobotstation like ps4's bloodbornestation, ps5's still woke junk slopped up by idiots with woman brains. Same brand of idiot who buys the latest over-priced half thousand $ smart phone cause marketing told them to.

>>1043980 >Touched a nerve? No just find it ironic that someone is using "dicklet" as an insult on a site that exists solely "for" so-called "dicklets". Which implies that said fag is a "dicklet" himself, otherwise the retard wouldn't be posting here in the first place. In other words, using "dicklet" as an insult doesn't carry the same punch the jackass thinks it does, which only furthers shows that the fag doesn't belong here. >Sony should realize from all their AAA failures and the ONLY success they had with Astrobot that that's where the money is. A generic mascot platformer where the only "value" the game has is the amount of effort the developers put towards remembering that Sony used to have dozens of fun, cool, and original IPs that they have spent the past five years unironically and literally forgetting entirely about so that they can rerelease The Last of Us for the tenth time?

>>1043987 This could only work if they decide to make a ultra cheap $200 handheld with emulationmachine for their ps2 titles, all those classic platformers. The games which they still have rights for, and the normalfags who don't know about emulation. But since they've gone full retard with playstation portal, I guarantee it won't be a Vita 2

>>1043426 >this will sell 10-20 times steam deck Delusional.

>>1043426 The Steam Deck isn't also readily available like the Switch and PlayStation Portal are. You can't go to a Target and buy one, which is where most of the money from these devices comes from.

>>1044028 >You can't go to a Target and buy one, which is where most of the money from these devices comes from. Anon, do you remember that prior to the internet, a lot of companies were profitable and making money despite never owning any real estate? For example, there was the rise of the "shopping channel" in the 80's. And prior to that, you had a century of the Sears catalog that sold literally anything. <First pic is a fucking house you could buy entirely through mail order. In fact, the Sears catalog is where Atari first became profitable when they started expanding outside of the arcade sector to home consoles and computers. Even systems as "late" as the Game Gear and the CDi were still advertised in such mail order catalogs.

>>1044028 retail stores would help to get tier 0 normalfags (the grandmas and parents buying for christmas) but even Online-only, they'll push several units. The biggest advantage is the SONY brand that normalfags and black people love. However a question arises - if steam deck were to be released on retail stores before this (and assuming this is a steam deck-like device) would valve's early advantage help them enough?

>>1044028 Where the fuck are finding PS portals, not that I've actively looked for one, but I legitimately haven't seen one in any store locally or online since the thing launched nor have I seen anyone use one or talk about it. I do see people regularly using Switches though and stores are always packed with those.

>>1043988 >No just find it ironic that someone is using "dicklet" as an insult on a site that exists solely "for" so-called "dicklets". Which implies that said fag is a "dicklet" himself, otherwise the retard wouldn't be posting here in the first place. are you asian anon? i'm indian and 4 inch, i know the pinching hand emoji well

>Xbox Handheld Confirmed by Microsoft Gaming CEO, Phil Spencer https://archive.is/NhE8q

>>1044193 Phil has been dropping hints that they were working on a handheld for some time. If Sony DOESN'T make a new portable - they will be the only major game platform which doesn't have a portable system. This is also why you shouldn't hold out too much hope for Sony's handheld to be a "Vita2" with exclusive software. >Nintendo's handheld IS their main console. >Microsoft's handheld will be an Xbox clone of the Steam Deck >PC/Steam's handheld is just a PC with a console interface. There's no way in hell Sony is going to answer this market by making a dedicated stand-alone handheld which doesn't play PS5/PS4 games and stream PS5 games primarily. Not to mention having a dedicated handheld device as it's own platform would require them and other developers to allocate resources into making PSP2/PSVita2 titles which AAA studios cannot afford - especially with the growing costs of software development going into NEXT gen. All of their smaller studios who could make really good AA/Portable games were either axed to reduce overhead, or have become outsourcing slaves for AAA.

>>1044201 >and stream PS6 games primarily fuk

>>1044193 This was known since around the time of the Steam Deck's launch, though I don't think Spencer ever officially confirmed it. Judging by Xbox's other hardware offerings I'm not sure how big it'll be. They'll want it to be a Game Pass machine, and I still doubt they'll fix Windows up enough to feel good on a handheld.

>>1044201 Who fugging sed people want exclusives?! All I want for Christmas is for Sony to dogeza itself into the core of the earth then stop being hostile to JP developers and allow them to make and port vidya with old-school fanservice for men with testosterone in their phalluses to their shitty Vita successor, because it's not like they have much of a choice if they want to stop being a broke laughingstock. Hell, they bent the knee already with Stellar Blade being the only worthwhile exclusive title any Soyny pony remembers, and that's going to evaporate the instant it hits PC. People WANT a port machine, why do you think it's a portable? Nobody wants to buy into the exclusive model anymore as the lump sum means you run short of recouping production costs when nobody fucking buys it. And considering most games, if you aren't a complete tard, downscale rather easily, I don't see why we need handheld-specific games when inversely those games are already getting ported to the big screen anyways in most modern releases.

>>1044193 I thought ROG Ally was their handheld? They pushed gamepass with that thing. >>1044232 True. Exclusives are system attractors but having a good catalog of games (regardless of exclusivity) is a good system justifier. Makes purchase decision easier.

>>1044237 People who don't care about exclusivity can buy machines that play a good catalog of games regardless of exclusivity already, like the Deck, Ally, and Legion lines. For a Soyny handheld without exclusives to be worth a damn, it must be better than editions of those out then, or it's better to buy those. Deck 2, Ally 2, Legion 2, anything else on the market. Fat fucking chance from Soyny, it'll be a jailed down piece of shit that can't even use Steam.

>>1044240 And Sony's few exclusives are mostly timed exclusives and mostly dogshit. Like, Stellar Blade which is "good" like The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is "good," it's good for a couple whacks of your wang then gets shelved forever. There's a reason Stellar Blade talk is all about outfit censorship and not the game, there's no game worth talking about. It's style over substance. Eye candy with shit characterization, a predictable and dogshit story, frustrating RPG mechanics, poorly executed gameplay, repetitive combat, and boring open-world areas. It gets clung to because Piss5 is an exclusives void where timed exclusives go to die. If I want hot eye candy without mindnumbing dogshit I'll just play Bayonetta. https://store.steampowered.com/app/460790/Bayonetta/

>>1044237 >I thought ROG Ally was their handheld? They pushed gamepass with that thing. That's ASUS, M$ got partnership with them, and they push GamePass on any handheld that uses Windows, like the Legion Go.

>>1044242 >comparing an action game with a VN The reason nobody is talking about the game itself as opposed to something which doesn't require in-game knowledge is because that would require people to own a PS5 in the first place, no need to make such weird extrapolation otherwise.

>>1044255 GayPass is gay garbage but you're not forced into it. Legion Go was selling at the record low price of $472 two days ago and has the best hardware and compatibility right now.

>>1044256 Look at the Stellar Blade subreddit yourself, it's full of retards just screenposting Stellar Blade shots instead of talking about Stellar Blade. The median and mode average for the comments per screenshot in the Hot tab is fucking 3 and this is from Retardditors dumb enough to actually own a PS5. There's no game worth talking about. Stellar Blade is an action-adventure game and The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is an adventure game, but that isn't the comparison anyway. The comparison's "wang-whacking games." They're wang-whacking material, good for whacking your wang, busting a nut, and then dropping, because: >Stellar Blade is style over substance. Eye candy with shit characterization, a predictable and dogshit story, frustrating RPG mechanics, poorly executed gameplay, repetitive combat, and boring open-world areas. It gets clung to because Piss5 is an exclusives void where timed exclusives go to die.

>>1044267 nigger don't do my girl nemlei dirty comparing based and incestpilled Andy and Leyley to some BS-Five trash by Shit Up or I will fuck your sister

My first concern would be how quickly it could burn my balls off. See, the thing about a portable PS5 is that it's going to get fucking hot without the right architecture to circulate and vent heat. Valve figured out how not to make their thing melt.

>>1043413 I wonder how many months will it last until Soyny simply abandons it, like they did with their other portables.

>>1044326 Sony's just like my dad!

>>1044336 Are you black or Irish?

>>1043413 >inspired by the Steam Deck >planned 8-inches If it was smaller I would be more interested, oh well.

>>1044358 According to people familiar with its development who have asked not to be named, the plans changed to 5 inches.

>>1043413 No trackpads, no buy

>>1044326 >Soyny simply abandons it, like they did with their other portables. This is granted. And there will still be retards complaining that it was abandoned, not checking the company's historic with their previous handhelds.

>>1044339 I'm Irish and Black, homies call me Irack.

>>1044366 That seems like a good setup for a late 90's/early 00's vidya ad. A hot chick walking past a Chad who tells her about his hot 8 inches, to which she recoils and tells him she likes smaller guys. She then walks away with this stereotypical nerdy guy playing the game system and who's 5 inches is what all the ladies like. Maybe with a tagline like "Smaller is Better". I wouldn't expect a PSP2/PSVita2 to actually have a screen size under 8/7 inches if they want it to play PS4/PS5 games natively. They're not going to be able to miniaturize it that far and still maintain a reasonable thermal profile.

>>1044715 Irack Obama?

>>1044757 get a job, nigger.

>>1043980 >that's the biggest bullshit statement I've ever heard Ohno... did someone pay a bunch of money to play on a locked down exclusives box?

>>1044794 No, because he's implying he plays a PS5, which doesn't have exclusives. >Astrobot You said "exclusiveS." He's allowed to have one.

>>1045656 No Homers?

>>1045656 I'm reversing Astro-Bot to But-Astro because But-Astro's the canned response of Pee S 5 owners with buyer's remorse for not having exclusives.
