Nintendo's Switch is both a home console and a portable one (besides the cheaper and portable-only versions). Back in the day I didn't think it would be as huge a hit as it was and didn't really, "Get it," until I started playing the console and found I dug it. That thing helped pass a lot of time during the pandemic lockdowns, I'll tell you that much. Sony must see how the Switch is popular and have some ideas. This is despite having attempted handheld devices before (the underrated PSP comes to mind, along with the massive bomb that was the Vita), but now a Switch-style PS5 or something like the Steam Deck is apparently in the early stages at Sony. From reports, these are very early stages and the whole thing could even end up being scrapped.
Still, if Sony did make a console with the power of the PS5 and the capabilities of a Nintendo Switch, that could be pretty darn cool. I'll forever defend the original PSP as a bit ahead of its time and remember the device fondly (although the best console ever that was a bit too advanced for the times will forever be the Dreamcast), so a handheld-style PS5 sounds like an entertaining proposition if it ends up working out. I guess we'll know in a handful of years whether these rumors came to fruition or turned out to be silly gossip.
