Nintendo has almost always dominated the handheld game console market with its famous Nintendo Switch product. Valve has also jumped on the bandwagon with its very popular Steam Deck over the past year.
And now is the story of Sony, when this famous distributor seems to be about to bring very happy news to PlayStation gamers.
Specifically, according to the latest report, Sony is testing a completely new PlayStation handheld game console model and promises to be a direct competitor to Nintendo Switch as well as Steam Deck.
True to the features of handheld gaming systems, Sony's wish is that gamers can comfortably play PlayStation games wherever they are. This device promises to bring flexibility – an inherent weakness of the PlayStation system when it is always very inconvenient for gamers to move.
In fact, initially, Sony wanted Portal to become a rival to Nintendo Switch and this device also had initial success after its launch in 2023. However, it still requires an Internet connection to use online. games put it at a much disadvantage compared to the Switch's ease of access.
According to sources, it will take several more years for the new PlayStation handheld version to officially launch. In fact, this is not the first time Sony has developed its own handheld game consoles. The closest product is the PS Vita with sales of about 10-15 million copies sold during its lifetime.
