Sony reportedly plans a return to the handheld gaming console market, aiming to rival Nintendo's Switch. This comes from Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter. While still in early development, the project suggests a potential successor to the PlayStation Portable and Vita. However, Bloomberg cautions that Sony might ultimately decide against releasing the console.
The dominance of mobile gaming, coupled with the withdrawal of many competitors from the handheld market (excluding Nintendo), contributed to the Vita's eventual decline. Sony likely perceived smartphones as insurmountable competition.
The recent resurgence of handheld gaming, driven by devices like the Steam Deck and the continued success of the Nintendo Switch, alongside advancements in mobile device technology, could be influencing Sony's decision. These factors might suggest a viable market for a dedicated portable gaming console. The increased power and capabilities of modern mobile devices may have shifted the landscape enough to make a dedicated handheld console competitive again.
