Sony is working on a portable console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft. UNN writes about this with reference to The Verge.
Details
The media reports that Sony is developing a console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft in the handheld gaming market and is likely to release it in three years.
Next year, the next generation of the Switch console from one of the leading figures in the handheld gaming industry, Nintendo, is expected to be released. Microsoft is also developing its prototype of the Xbox portable console. However, the release of this device, according to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, is expected to be "years away.
However, Sony is not willing to be left behind and will build on PlayStation Portal: an eight-inch gaming device released last year that wirelessly streams PS5 games from the cloud but was originally intended to work as a standalone device. The new device will allow games to be played natively rather than over Wi-Fi, potentially expanding Sony's audience and making its games more accessible.
Recall
Sony's president reported on the successful sales of PlayStation 5 Pro, despite the high price. The company reached 77.7 million game sales and increased the PlayStation Network user base to 116 million.
