Sony reportedly plans a return to the handheld gaming console market, according to Bloomberg. This would mark a comeback after the PlayStation Portable and Vita. While still in early development, the project aims to rival Nintendo's Switch.
The report cites unnamed sources familiar with the matter, emphasizing the project's preliminary stage. Sony may ultimately decide against releasing the console.
The mobile gaming landscape has shifted since the Vita's era. Smartphone dominance, coupled with other companies abandoning the portable market (except Nintendo), led Sony to believe competing wasn't worthwhile.
However, recent trends like the Steam Deck's success and the Switch's continued popularity, alongside advancements in mobile technology, suggest a potential market for a high-quality portable console. This might persuade Sony that a dedicated handheld device can attract a significant customer base.
