Kepler - There's two SoCs in development for next-gen PlayStation, not sure if it's a Series X/S situation or home console + handheld

PS6 and steamdeck esque handheld.

PS6 and steamdeck esque handheld.

Yeah. Not even Sony's dumb enough to screw themselves over with a series S potato.

 

[Cool hand luke]

Handheld form factor and home console. Nintendo's going to get their shit pushed in.

 

[Etifilio]

it's a handheld and a console, MLID already said the contracts are signed with AMD

 

[BillyZ]

Yeah. Not even Sony's dumb enough to screw themselves over with a series S potato.

But screwing themselves over with an even bigger potato of a handheld it's fine?

 

[Petekilla]

Has to be a handheld. Sony is not stupid to create a series s type console. They already seen how that failed with Xbox.

 

[Entropi]

Imagine Sony copying the Xsx/XsS model after Microsoft. Cerny is not that dumb so there’s more to this.

 

[arvfab]

Urgh, another gimped gen. Cross-gen will never end.

 

[Petekilla]

This is why am not convinced that Switch 2 can sell as much as Switch 1. Nintendo is going to have much more competition in the handheld market this time.

 

[Kokoloko]

PS6 and steamdeck esque handheld.

Lets hope so

I think PS5 Pro kinda confirmed that. As much as I dont like Cross gen, I dont think they are gonna make PS6 only games in 2027 when people buy PS5 Pro in 2024.

They were the first to venture down the hybrid path, it's just that Sony always gives up on their innovations too quickly.

This should have happened with the PS4 and Vita. A refreshed Version with stronger specs considering how hard they were pushing remote play in the first year.

 

[Cool hand luke]

Better that than another shitpost by you.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Both strategies are interesting. Will be fun to see where they're going.

1. PS6 + PS6 Pro
2. PS6 + PSP2
3. PS6 + PS Portal 2

 

[Petekilla]

1. PS6 + PS6 Pro
2. PS6 + PSP2
3. PS6 + PS Portal 2

You mean PSP3. The Vita was PSP2.

 

[Evilms]

You mean PSP3. The Vita was PSP2.

Yes, you can see the PS Vita as a PSP2, even if I personally don't think of it as a PSP2.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

My hope is that the handheld has a dock with an eGPU which then performs exactly like the home console version.

 

[Dabaus]

Hopefully the handheld can just stream from the PS6 or some sort of cloud. Surely sony has seen what a disaster the Series S has been for MS?
