I have no idea what this would mean in practice.
The article brings it up too, but I suspect this actually means streaming games. I can see it sort of making sense where you already own a digital library and via some subscription, can stream those games to specific devices.
It‘s all cloud from here
Slopstation Pro Plus?
It doesn’t need to be subscription. The Playstation Portal can already stream your local machine and library beyond living room with a seemless experience. So maybe they plan on doing a Wii U inspired setup by default?
Isn’t this what Xbox tried and failed to do a few years back? And Google Stadia?
PS streaming from your own console works very well now. I have played games without noticable lag 1000+ kms from my home on my PS Portal
I believe, the Playstation implementation streams from your console, so primarily good for in-home streaming…
It depends how you look at it. Will it be similar to Steam Deck and primarily a handheld with a docking station? That’s hardly a new concept. What makes the Switch different is, that the system and games have a dedicated docking mode that is different in performance and settings from handheld mode. Or will it be a Wii U with a stationary console and a tablet? There are already experiments with the Playstation Portal that can already stream your PS5 games (and later probably PS6) beyond the living room.
man just release another better version of the PSP/Vita. those things were awesome.
I don’t give much of a shit about the article, but that title… that quote is dripping with sleaze. Like slop off the snout of a freshly fed pig. Absolutely greasy.
You can say the same about the PS5
High-res touchscreens and batteries are cheap. Silicon, processors, and memory are expensive. I expect to see a ton of these “handhelds” in the next few years
