26 Jun
Summary
- Sony CEO suggests 'pick up and play' is console's top quality.
- Company aims to leverage tech for various forms and locations.
- This could signal a return to the handheld gaming market.
Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino stated that the company is committed to producing its own game consoles. He highlighted 'pick up and play' as the most important quality for contemporary consoles.
Nishino also indicated that Sony aims to leverage technologies adaptable to various forms and locations. This approach could lead to the development of exciting new hardware, potentially including a new handheld device.
The company has already ventured into this space with the PlayStation Portal, a remote player for PS5 games. This initiative aligns with a broader plan to offer gaming experiences beyond the traditional living room TV setup, with plans for monitors and speakers to facilitate play in different settings.
While the PlayStation Portal streams games, its market entry comes as rumors persist about a potential PS6 handheld companion device, slated for a 2027 launch alongside two other consoles, according to industry insiders.
