Sony was the first company to dominate the handheld gaming console scene when they released the PlayStation Portable (PSP), which was 18 years ago in 2005. The PSP went on to become the popular handheld console owing to the variety of games it had along with a asking price for the console itself.

Then in 2011, Sony unveiled the PSP’s successor by introducing the PS Vita. PS Vita was by all means an upgrade with added functionalities, touch-control capabilities, and even a way to play some PS3 and PS4 games portably. But, the handheld gaming console didn’t manage to reach the level of popularity set by the PSP.

However, we have been introduced to newer handheld consoles by different manufacturers such as the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and more. Therefore, many are inquisitive about what Sony plans to do next.

Fortunately for fans, popular gaming journalist, Jeff Grubb, has just provided them with some fantastic news.

It will be interesting to see if this device comes to fruition and how it stacks up against the likes of the Switch, Steam Deck and the recently announced ROG Ally.
