Many are underestimating how interested people are in a new PlayStation portable. New PS Vita videos, in 2024, still gets 10s of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of views. And its over a decade old. People want portables now. It might end up being their best selling device ever, especially if it plays all PlayStation games across generations. I could see it possibly surpassing the ps2
Honestly makimg handhelds instead of consoles is the best move for these comapnies. People can just get PCs for home gaming. Handhelds are way more versatile.
Sony needs to focus on being the Sony of old and making games before they focus on anything else. Stop the live service crap and the woke forced dei crap. Or people ain't buying nothing
I got a 4tb last month for about 90US, all I gotta do is just transfer the games to it and some micro-managing with it but that's preety much unlimited storage
Yes it's a lot but Sony has no control over the price for that drive. And the reason that style drive is needed for ps5 games is because usb c isn't fast enough to load the new games. Yes they could do the usb c port but people will complain about slow speeds when they don't use the drive/interface to get 10Gbps
I bought a 4TB external for £99 about 3 years ago for my ps4pro. But my boys ps5 runs out of room so much the games are getting bigger but the consoles are never big enough to do the job 😢
I have 4tb+4tb+5tb+2tb+1tb= 16tb full of PS2, PS3 and PS4 games. I didn't even buy a PS5 because I haven't finished the PS4 games yet. Everything is almost full and I'm thinking of buying a new 6tb HDD. Space is never enough.
That 8TB drive will drop to $600. They won’t get many sales at $900. At $900 you could just buy a 2nd PS5 for $450. But I want that 8TB drive so they need to drop ASAP
Yes Sony is giving the people what they want! "says no one" ! what we want is backwards compatibility but okay kind of give us unlimited space kind of sort of 🤨🙄🧐
There goes the excuse for Black Ops 6 not working without the internet, because of the lack of space on SSDs, let's be honest, whether on PC or consoles, people don't have just 1TB of space because it runs out too quickly, it certainly will buy at least another 1TB or 2TB of SSD, and with the 8TB ones more common, the 4TB one will drop in price quickly, that Black Ops 6 excuse is already pretty weak in itself, even more so now, they just want that to ensure that no one actually own a copy of the game
I want to play the LoK Blood Omen and LoK Soul Reaver games now... Also still have my Silent Hill itch ever since a bunch of my belongings "went missing" during a move. Some of the Ps, Ps2, and PsP games sell for outrageous prices if you're trying to find a copy.
Nah, screw Sony. They abandoned the vita and left hardware adopters out in the cold shortly after release. They don't have a good track record with handhelds. The vita was an awesome piece of hardware and remains my favorite. Sony promised so much for the vita, but delivered almost none.
If the new Vita has at least an R5000 CPU, 12CUs of RDNA 3-4. With a minimum- 12GB of lpddr5x 6400. It'll be a bonkers sytem. Just don't make it for baby hands.
I've been with you for a while man and I really hope for a handheld because it's a bummer carrying a console when you travelling with for a long distance
The ps6 is going to come out and games are going to require more memory like they do every time a new console comes out and we will be in the same situation scrambling for more memory and the prices will be even higher…a vicious cycle.
It's headed towards needing to pay per hr to play a game and when that happens will be the end of me playing new games I'll stick to the older consoles and games.
Do yourself a favor and just buy your games outright wait for a sale this new model is just a hey rent the games to see if you like it if you look at it like that it isn’t quite so bad
@@Roody4594 where did I get my MBA…the same place you learnt how to use punctuation it seems. And I don’t have an Xbox, so wouldn’t know anything about that.
The best SSD card on the market is the Fire Cuda I load up 3 times quicker then anybody on Call of Duty even people on PC using this SSD card had a Samsung and a WD _Black both of them fried out less than 2 months apart bought the Fire Cuda no issues the last 2 years will be 3 years this Christmas 😮
Also with Sony having cross gen play when you buy that version of the game, I’m pretty sure you’re only gonna have to buy the game once if you buy that version when they come out with there handheld
I got the first generation Ps5 and soon as they had after market external 2Tb. SI bought a 2 TB that was compatible with my Ps5. Then then now to the new update now my. Extended to 2Tb don't even work. So now I have to buy more 2Tb for my games. This is ridiculous, PlayStation, should do better.😢😢😢
When Gran Turismo 7 properly has unlimited automatic replay saves, then storage will matter. But with this terrible forced limitation, it's worse than unacceptable.
I think the main reason why the PS2 and PS3 emulators for PS4 and PS5 are taking so long it's because they also have to focus on security measures to prevent piracy in their consoles when they launch the service properly.
How much do you want to bet that Sony doubles down on their proprietary "Memory Stick" if they come out with a new, actual handheld like they did with PSP/Vita?
I’d like to think they learned their lesson with both the PSP and Vita… and given that the PS3, 4, 5, and every iteration of those consoles used non-proprietary storage kinda backs that up… if you ignore that the Vita came after the PS3 and the PS2 might’ve used standard HDD’s too but idk, I never played final fantasy so I never cared about that.
I am a question. I love the channel, but when did you decide that you were only going to wear the same T-shirt and chain around your neck for every video? personally, I liked some of the nostalgic stuff that you wore before
This is pretty awesome but i want to point out that if nintendo ever got serious about backwards compatibility and decided they want to make a powerful home console and portable console duo that can play all past nintendo system games…that would absolutely take the world by storm lol
The average customer sportin that sorta $$$ obviously have to have a job - 160+ hrs monthly, family 60-80+ hrs monthly, need sleep - 224 hrs sleep, not counting eating, bathing, bills, children etc which seems it may take 20+ yrs to get the entertainment for the $ spent out of it... plastic and junk metals are worth more then wt. In gold it seems. High time we get back what we once had going
@@nullshock3381 long drawn out explaining the average gamers life & $ supply in regards there affording this which would be nice for them , would make what little time they honestly have to be able to enjoy their gaming but paying 2x more then what was paid for their system ain't happening. Obviously this is made as a tease for the average gamer):
There is nothing I hate more than the idea of a PS6. When it comes out they will still be supporting PS4, and there will only be 2 games in the first year that nobody will play.
I agree. The PS5 success is based on past reputation. They keep up this path they are on now the PS6 won't be as successful as they think. I think they just need to stop at the PS5 pro and wait till 2030 or legit new technology to come out before they start working on the PS6.
@@roscoebuzzard3687 dude I agree with this because we console hop it seems every 5 years bc I guess people want these consoles to be PCs that they pay 400-500 for, I was quite content w the ps4/pro but I love the 5 just don’t need a 6 for AT LEAST 4-5 more years My only reason to say yes would be if they’re coming out 120-180 fps native in pretty high resolution idk the number but two steps above 1440p atleast
easiest way for sony to take that notch home in a new handheld, would actually be to have an insanely efficient battery. the big crux of all thos enew handhelds is, the play time is a joke. pretty sure the core audience like you, play everywhere. and the core audience probably all got a vita, which simply wasn't enough. now you need something to even out nintendo, and steam. both systems have that major battery size issue. most ppl like me, that only get a handheld for special occassions or long trips, gona check 2 things, what library do i already have, and which system is gonna make the least hubub. i have a powerbank, so technically this isn't as much of a question for me. bonus question would be, do i want a nintendo library. i have a PS5 and a PC, so at home, i am decked in everything i want except for the nintendo stuff. this is probably why the switch 2 will take most sales away from either a new vita or steamdeck 2. but, the stand out feature for the next round is gonna be battery power/efficiency. screensize with 1080p is already topped out. 720p with better graphics on those sizes, would rpobably be even better. now if the sony vita 2 would be also backwards compatible with all systems as an original emulation machine, that would make it golden too.
As a PS5 owner im not sure i will choose a new Portable from PS? Hear me out, if i have to choose a second console isnt better to have a PS5 plus a Switch 2? Or a PS5 and a Deck? Even a possible XB portable make more sense, cause you got access to new games that do not run on the PS5 i already have. Also, i think is very unlikely Sony would release a new portable, they can not support 2 different catalogues.
I’m glad I don’t support PS 5 Sony = expensive greed I was given a free PS 4 slim with I think 4TB extended drive which is virtually unlimited for me I’m using less than half
Eh? You can use any m2 gen 4 drive that can do 5.5gbps or higher. The seagate drive mentioned in the video is not made by Sony, thus it's not their bed at all. I got my 4tb drive for £299 in black Friday sale last year and still have tons of space. No doubt this year the same drive will be cheaper.
When will rewind and forward be added and when will we be able to access internet, when will ps3 and ps4 features be added to something that costs close to a gaming pc
If somebody can, please help me my PS five works perfectly fine digital but it’s not reading the disk. I put another disc. It’s not reading. I did it safe mode and reset the whole Playstation five did the cashier. Can anybody give me some advice some people say I need a laser some people say I need a USB drive any hints not reading discs?
Both Xbox and Playstation are going to do portables next generation not just portables of course I feel like they'll be the series s or digital only equivalent of this generation. I mean next generation is going to be all digital anyway but it's going to be interesting to see them pivot into both consoles and portables that can achieve current console graphics. It's going to be interesting but they have a lot riding on people not abandoning ship which I personally most likely will unless I see something truly compelling. Next generation is where I go full PC and maybe whatever Nintendo's got. Unless we get much stronger laws that prohibit the kind of overreaching overzealous digital rights nonsense we're dealing with right now I for one and jumping ship.
