PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Do you think Sony has been watching HP's misfortunes in the tablet market and revising its strategy appropriately, or do you think that the Android devices will be more popular, yet able to stand out in that crowded market due to their styling, PlayStation compatibility and general Sony-ness.

Will the tablets find a profitable niche in the market as Sony fans rush out to buy them? Or, are they doomed to suffer the same fate as HP's glossy TouchPad, being too expensive and lacking enough unique features to give them the edge.
