Sony Handheld allegedly weaker than a PS5

[sillierbillier]

The potential PlayStation 6 handheld is said to be less powerful than a PlayStation 5. Rumor has it that two chips are in development for the PlayStation 6. The potential handheld is now being said to not really be “next-gen.” According to the latest rumors from KeplerL2 on the NeoGaf forum, the PlayStation 5 Portable won't even be as powerful as the current PlayStation 5. According to KeplerL2, the handheld will have a “15W SoC on 3nm”. What the final specifications will look like is still uncertain.
However, 15W gives us an idea of the thermal performance (TDP). The Steam Deck, for example, has a TDP of 15W, while the PlayStation 5 has a TDP of 200W.

yeah disapointing ngl

I kinda miss when handheld games were made with technical limitations in mind...

And also when they were actually handheld!!!

The mood here isn't more or less tense than most of other gaming forums all over internet. We have people from all ages, and forums were created for that, share information, discuss things and try to point when something is wrong.

The user just pointed out that the information or the way you redacted the "article" is confusing, as you mention Playstation versions up and down. If he didn't say, another person would, that's how internet works. We can say you have been kindly pointed out that you can't say "Playstation 6 portable" in a thread that seems to be more like news than your opinion. Of course, we are free to say whatever we want, as long as we respect each other, but it would be nice if we try to adjust to reality, because otherwise forums would be full of crap that nobody ends believing lol.

I am the kind of person who does not feel aggression in every corner, because there are many different people in the world, and everyone says things in a different way, and sometimes we can feel good or bad, it's human condition and there is nothing we can do.

Just have fun and be weird like everyone else :)

---------------------------------

And now to the point, a portable console that is less powerful than a PS5 isn't any mystery, why would it? and I can certainly assure the console won't be 15W TDP, not even 15W low power CPU's are 15W anymore, and Steam Deck isn't an exception. That's why those Ryzens can be set to 25W, because 15W is too low for CPU + GPU, unless you're playing only Minecraft.

The only iGPU that matches the PS5 right now is the 8060S, but it's packed with a CPU that costs more than a PS5 and has a TDP way higher than 15W.

If a new Playstation Portable is going to be launched in 2026, my bet is that it will be close to an 8040S, which is a little bit more than a Series S.

I'm not sure I remember any of your previous posts - but IMO your fyre diplomatic skills are commendable af. I tried to do the same in the post where Dany said he will no longer make threads - but I also note that he may get a lil neurotic at times n jump the gun a little too abrasively? I'm not one to talk however, I can be a fierce jugular-crushing counterattacker (fuck autism! xD)

in any case, I hope our advisement gets through to him to mellow out n that we are a very friendly community compared to the typical ones overrun by troLLwagons

Dany, there is a pervasive, mutual bonding love between most-to-aLL of us here n anyone can be free to be themselves here - as long as abrasive vibes are minimal n beef extinguished far before any shit can hit the fan - cuz that's just it, we are FANS, our love for gaming in aLL its pertinent aspects keeps things chiLL, copacetic, n endearing. we all belong to at least one club in common n no one is an antagonist here or Prnzo streams his fist through their monitor screen but at the last nanosecond tweaks the offenders' naughty nose. lol I get a lil esoteric SiLLeH-G00ph but hopefully you get the gist. you don't have to 'preach to the choir', you're among friends here (right guyzz? RIGHT? xD )... carry on but lighten up a lil brvh ^_^

So games will only look as good on it as those released in the previous decade?

 

[Adrastia]

Why you labeled this PS6 when this has nothing to do with a home console? You meant to put PSVita successor.

I keep seeing this handheld referred to as a PS6 in various places. It's hella confusing. I assumed maybe it was a Switch-like device at first. There's nothing much going on now save for speculation. Steamdeck is looking better and better every day.

Any new SONY handheld wont make it.
They lost the handheld market, like Sega lost the console/hardware market.
The future of handheld war (excluding Smartphones) is between big corps: Nintendo, Steamdesk, Windows PC handhelds and "cheaper" Retro emulation handhelds.
The Windows handhelds will rise, because many big manufacters jumping in already and the constant and faster, advanced techno the most as AMD and Nvidia focus on making powerfull and "power efficient" SOC processors can make smaller "pocket" longer playtime handhelds.
Smartphones/tablets/ipads games and retro emulation already covers most causual gaming on the go already.

I mean... I would expect a modern Sony handheld to be weaker than a PS5.
The GameBoy was weaker than an NES. The GameBoy Advance was weaker than a N64. The PSP was weaker than a PS2. If Sony made a handheld that's stronger than the PS5 right now, now THAT would be news.

 

[ThePeon]

"allegedly weaker than a PS5" But 5 times stronger than Switch 2 and 2 times cheaper and Sony won´t sue your ass for fun.

I really don't think this would be 5 times stronger.

No it won´t it´s was more jab at when PS4 and xbox one hit they released swicth witch barely preformed better than a PS3. This new Sony handheld might me max twice as strong as the Switch 2 seeing as the switch 2 is supposed to be as strong as a PS4 and not PS4 pro.

What ever it is I bet you it will be stronger and cheaper in the long run than the switch 2.

To be honest gaming hasn't evolved that much after the PS360 era.

I mean even to this day BloodBorne on the PS4 doesn't shy compared to PS5 games.

You missed the 3d gameboy , 3D TV, PS3 3D,3ds,,PC VR, Ps4 PSVR evolution gaming,.
Its wasnt mass hit, because the majority are Casual Gamers and not true, diehard, niche Gamers.

Virtual Reality and 3D are still pretty gimmicky to me.

All I know is Switch 2 will out sell what ever Sony makes. Because Nintendo could sell a bag och shit and people would buy it. I mean they sold bloody cardboard "it sold bloody 1.39 million units"
The Robot Kit sold 28,629 copies
Vehicle Kit has sold 49,389
Variety Kit has sold 330,00
And that is in Japan alone.

So yeah Switch 2 will out sell Sony easy because Nintendo fans are like apple people Brand slaves..

Technically Nintendo Labo was the game being sold, the cardboards were included in the pack.

And to be honest it was an experimental game based off a demo from a Wii U game Miyamoto developed (the mecha one).

It can be hit or miss but at least trying something different is still better than doing the same thing again and again.

The Xbox One and Series are just more powerful without any major change, the PS5 added the adaptative trigger buttons on the pad but on the other hand it threw physical discs by making the drive optional. The PS5 is not a massive change compared to the 4 Pro.

they were forced to innovate with limitations. Now it's just
>Overcommercialized game: the movie: the video game
>Now even prettier to look at
>enjoy watching the movie..erm... game

 

[Raggs]

This is a modest start, but my handheld needs MORE monitors and controllers.

More = Power

Are you streaming from the deck to the tablet? Or is it a prefab?

 

[Ethernoh]

And still will be more powerful than the switch 2.

What does power mean anyway? It's the game that matters not just the raw power output of the hardware.

I'd argue that the Playstation 2, while being weaker than every other consoles from the last 3 gens, still had some of the best games we could ever have.

Well it mean the games dont run like shit at 720p on overpriced obsolete HW, which nintendo if famous to put out. Happy? Not a nintendo fan if you didnt notice LOL.

 

[Plumpodrome]

groundbreaking thoughts with this thread eh

 

[FTLOTG]

If Sony really wants to turn heads they should make it similar in size to the PSP and Vita.

 

[Matricks]

The Marketing peeps arent Gamers but decide to copycat the mainstream hits, so the bigger the better handheld, they think that alone will attract to their platform, when they just release the PS5 Handheld streamer? PS Portal:

We dont even need a new ps vita or ps5 when PS Portal can Cloud gaming:
