Sony has suggested its next-gen console — widely assumed to be the PlayStation 6 — could work like the Nintendo Switch by enabling “a seamless experience that can be enjoyed naturally beyond the living room.”
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.
