New claims suggest Sony is already working all out to launch an all-new portable gaming machines. Using this console, users will be able to play PlayStation 5 games at any possible place with relative comfort. The initiative puts Sony in direct line with Nintendo’s successful gaming device called the Switch.
In that respect, this console will not be like the PlayStation Portal which essentially uses internet streaming. It shall run as an application due to this, allowing users to play games without needing to connect frequently. Thus, this innovation evinces from Sony’s series of prior products that outlined themselves as accessories sort of devices.
For instance, Sony has in the past tried its hand at portable gaming in the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. However, both devices did not show consistency in their sales and success. This new project indicates that Sony needs to overcome previous difficulties and bring it to the market of portable gaming.
Sources indicate that Sony’s portable console may still be two or three years away. The long time frame means that the necessary work on a game is done to achieve success in a competitive setting.
Other than Sony, Microsoft is also testing the waters in the portable gaming market. Still, different developers of PCs have come up with new types of compact gaming machines recently. The idea initiated by this trend is that gaming has gradually become more and more transportable.
A greater challenge is expected when the new Sony console is out of stock due to steep competition in a developing market. Still, it can result in a complete change in the concept of portable gaming for fans of PlayStation if everything is done properly.
