It seems like Jeff Grubb tends to give out the most negative rumors possible when it concerns Playstation.

Streaming isn't meant to be the primary option. Just another option you can have access to. In 2023, a handheld of any kind makes zero sense to me due to cell phones. If it's streaming, you don't need hardware and something like a dedicated handheld just makes things worse because now, you have to support two (three if you include PSVR 2) dedicated platforms. It's simply not feasible and a waste of money, time and resources. It's simply not efficient and far better to have everything interconnected and streamlined. Give consumers access to the eco-system they prefer on as many devices as possible. I don't play on PC or use streaming for games but having those options doesn't negate the consoles or the games themselves. If anything, it's going to widen and broaden the reach of getting more consumers into the eco-system.

Could all of this be stemming a miscommunication in regards to a new streaming platform or handheld made by another company?
Nvidia has shield and Go. Could AMD try to compete with them and use Sony/Cerny as consultants to help them build it, and/or be using their games on it?
Cerny helped AMD with RDNA2 when they were creating the PS5. Maybe this is a similar situation?

It's possible, but AMD wouldn't do it unless the profit margins were pretty high.
Which means this would still be way overpriced for what amounts to a cloud-only streaming portable.

Doesn't have to be cloud only. The streaming part is just a guess. If anything it would be streaming and local. I can't see Sony doing a streaming only handheld. It seems too bizarre.
Maybe the whole thing is fud and an attempt to build up false hopes for Sonys next conference?
Guys maybe the handheld will only be shown and not too soon released? Maybe they could launch a handheld in 2024/2025?

Would be a huge waste of R&D resources if true, imho. Why should anybody want such a dedicated device, when you can do the same with any smartphone? They even partnered with Backbone recently for Iphones (and it's a mistery to me why not also for Android) regarding Remote Play.
Absolutely, and another brain dead decision by jimbo if confirmed.
Yep, that's the type of thinking that helped bury Xbox last gen.
Maybe if Sony gave it a real low key rollout and don't let people think it's supposed to be a Vita 2.
Not even an OLED screen come on now.
I'd be lying if i didn't say i'd pick one up if the price is right. I like remote play and prefer not to use my phone.
