(Cac Tweet) Playstation Handheld to have AI Upscaling, 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 16 MB MALL to Offset Lower Memory Bandwidth Compared to Base PS5

yep I realized this with the Switch. I don't like playing games like Metroid Prime or BOTW in handheld mode. but games like Advance Wars or Metroid Dread were fine

I think for smaller moments in these games, like grinding n shyt, it's still not too bad to do in handheld mode. But true story progression and all the big moments, I save for the big screen.

TBH tho, I feel like cuz of the gfx of the game, BOTW/TOTK's big moments were still just fine for portable tho. Most of Nintendo's really, lol.

I don't really see a reason for them to make a portable PlayStation. It will basically be their Xbox Series S but probably worse. Some weaker spec hardware that can't run the full blown games like the home console can. The Switch 2 is the only system so it runs all Nintendo games. The Steam Deck is on the scalable open PC format so it has options and some games it can't run. There aren't really dedicated Steam Deck games either they're just PC games.

A portable PlayStation will be closed box and likely just like the PSP and PS Vita have to have it's own version of games because no way are they making a PS5 level portable at a reasonable price.

I took the Switch 2 to work today and the damn thing is just too large. If you have some luggage or a backpack you're taking somewhere it can come with you but to me it's barely portable. My phone is portable I can just slide it into a pocket and have it on my person. It was also guzzling battery on standby doing nothing.

Even a PS Vita could just slide in a pocket. These new age portables just can't.

I've been seeing ads on Amazon for switch 2 sling packs. shyts are huge, might as well carry a duffel bag around


The tradeoff for power
