      This seems like the only way it has a shot. I don’t know that PS5 games are necessary, but PS4 absolutely are. Make it a portable PS4, and there is a real market there. The only downside is, it wouldn’t work with PS4 discs, which would limit sales to existing digital only owners. Also, it would be on a system without a significant new game in site. The library is 99% done. There isn’t a must play on the horizon to market. You have to hope the existing exclusives is enough.

      Honestly, I talked myself out of it. It is a bigger risk than I initially thought.

        Games that can are still releasing on PS4.

        Give it the real controller and make it the Portal but actually useful and it will be fine.

          The article says the device is at least 2 years out. There will be a trickle of PS4 games at best in 2026. I don’t see how those are going to be the system sellers to drive a new system.

      Holy crap, that thing had a backlit LCD and could play 16-bit home console games on the go. What a beast. How did I not even know this thing existed? 0.o
