Maybe they are doing both and are waiting to announce it sometime in the future.
Everything Sony does atm seems to turn to gold.

this is good thing. handhelds are nothing special from any technology standpoint. i like that they invested and pushing VR technology forward.
let Sony do differently from other brands. let them differentiate from others.
nintendo does handhelds good, just look at switch, it is their identity.
xbox does subs and cloud.

Thank God Sony you made that mistake! GT 7 VR looks better than anything out there! And I bought a copy as soon as I saw it.
Agreed, Why not.
People say because Vita failed Sony should just let the handheld market be Nintendo and Steam.
But look how many times Nintendo and Xbox have sold really bad and tried again. N64, Gamecube, Wii U, OG Xbox etc
Sony has only failed to do more than 80m+ units once and that was Vita. Neither Xbox, Nintendo or Sega are close to being that successful with every device that have released.
PSP sold 80+m units, same as GBA and 3DS so it cant be that bad.
With the popularity of Playstation with PS4/PS5 Im sure they could sell a good amount which would drive software sales up worldwide and Japan.
I mean which handheld gamer wouldnt want to play FF16, Spiderman 2, Ronin, Dragon Quest and GTA6 on the go… Vita and PSP never had games like this, it would sell well.
Between Steam Deck and Switch, there's clearly no space for a new handheld on the market.
Let Sony focus on VR and consoles. They are killing it. Remote Play fills that ps5 on the go void for me quite well. Steam Deck only sold 1 million so far and Switch has shit sewn up so it would be difficult. Plus Sony focusing on 3 diff systems, nahhhh thy good how they are now.
Any personal take on the video?
I'm not watching 20min of probably what will be total BS.
It pushes a negative narrative regarding Sony. What do you think his take on the video will be?
What a dumb take. PSVR is an emerging new tech and Sony is pioneering them in consoles. They were happy with the PSVR1 performance so they are making PSVR2 with many lessons learnt and they are improving its tech, pricing, user experience, catalog, etc.
PS Vita did show them that there is only place for a single portable console, the Nintendo one, and that they didn't have enough specific 1st and 3rd party catalog to support it.
Steamdeck is a whole different story because Valve has a huge catalog from Steam, while Sony doesn't. And right now is not possible to have PS4 portable to make it 100% compatible with the home console library, or at least not with a decent pricing and battery.
I loved Sony's portables and I'd love to see more, but being realistic they took the best approach available right now.

Just to add.
I believe PSVR2 will sell more than SteamDeck.

Of course it will! It sold Lil over 1 million so far lol PSVR 2 will sell more than it in its lifetime.

VR was the right direction to go in. Any VR game that comes to consoles is exclusive to one platform, without that platform having to pay for exclusivity, that's a clever business move.
If you're a VR developer and want to get into the console space, you talk to Sony and by doing so, create a two-way relationship. VR devs will want to bring their games to PSVR2 as a chance to be picked up by Sony or have the opportunity to work with them.
Sony get free access to the best, upcoming talent in the industry, without having to chase them down.
