Sony is reportedly working on a new handheld gaming console aimed at expanding its influence in the portable gaming market. This device, often referred to as a potential “PS Vita 2,” follows the success of Sony’s PlayStation Portal, which primarily functioned as a streaming device for PS5 games. The new console is expected to feature more advanced capabilities, potentially including compatibility with native PS5 games, powered by a custom AMD chipset. However, this project is still in the early development stage and may not reach the market for several years
Meanwhile, Nintendo continues to dominate the handheld gaming sector with its widely popular Switch console. Rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 have been circulating, with projections for a release in early 2025. Although Nintendo planned for a 2024 release, delays have reportedly shifted the timeline to ensure higher-quality first-party software and hardware readiness. This could open up opportunities for competitors like Sony and even Microsoft, which is rumored to be exploring handheld Xbox devices
This escalating competition in the portable gaming industry reflects the growing demand for handheld consoles that offer cutting-edge technology and a vast library of games. Both Sony’s upcoming device and the Switch 2 will likely set new standards in this space, though the release timelines suggest Nintendo might continue leading the market for now.
