Sony’s future PlayStation strategy is feeding handheld speculation again. The Verge’s analysis argues that Sony’s next-gen plans sound increasingly portable, with language around going beyond the living room and the continued presence of PlayStation Portal-style control-led devices. Nothing here is a formal PS6 handheld announcement, but the signals are loud enough to keep the hardware crowd watching.
For mobile and handheld readers, this matters because the line between console, cloud device, portable PC and gaming tablet is getting blurrier every month. If PlayStation goes truly portable, the handheld market gets even more crowded and far more interesting.
