Support NeoGAF

[Fox_Mulder]

Yay or Nay?

As many people have said they risk to lose the japan market whitout a new portable console.

EDIT
What about a PS4 Portable?

All the ps4 games on the go (no internet connection is needed).

 

[Matbtz]

Nay

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Nay

 

[DKHF]

Nay

 

[Kenzodielocke]

They won't do that.

 

[yoonshik]

No, I don't trust them after Vita.

 

[autoduelist]

Absolutely love my vita, play it at least as much as my ps4. I'd buy a Vita 2 in a heartbeat as long as it played most vita games, and the same psp/ps1 games as the vita.

 

[Greddleok]

lol. Sure, why not?

 

[Nanashrew]

Nay

 

[Princess Viola]

Naw

 

[Ray Down]

Sony handhelds are dead.

 

[Gamezone]

Why would they? The Vita is doing terrible.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Because the market leader should respond to a company that's pivoting away from their business?

 

[Toki767]

It's actually yea or nay OP.

I'd like them to, but it's never happening at this point.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Why? We knew the Nintendo handhelds was coming, although this is still rumor anyway, and the Vita has not done so hot.

 

[Nanashrew]

I don't believe Sony has any real incentive to do so.

 

[Yo93]

Nope.
It's over.

 

[Eolz]

If they want an even bigger failure on the market, yea.
If they're not stupid, nay.

 

[watershed]

Why would they announce a product that doesn't exist?

 

[Proelite]

Makes less sense than MS announcing a handheld. At least they have w10 ready as an OS, and play anywhere.

 

[Bedameister]

Nay

Nay

Nay

0% chance they will

 

[Koyuga]

What if they make a portable PS4?

 

[Claude Augario]

Should Sony announce something that doesn't exist in response to rumors that might not be true?

Nah.

 

[Guymelef]

No, just like Nintendo should release a non handheld anymore.
Focus On Your Strengths.

 

[TheMoon]

thread still open?^^

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

While the Vita itself is actually a fine piece of handheld hardware I don't think Sony will touch the handheld market for the next few years at least.

 

[kadotsu]

No, but they should at least try to get a mobile games division going.

 

[Drilbit777]

No, Sony needs to just focus on PS4 instead of sending another portable out to die

 

[ffvorax]

I hope there will be a Vita2 (loved both PSP and VITA), but I think they should wait more before releasing it... VITA hardware after many years it's still perfect, I don't see why we should upgrade it...

 

[wapplew]

If it can play all PS4/Neo titles and consider an entity within PS4 family, sure.

 

[jetsetnickradio]

I want them to, but they won't and I totally understand why.

And if for some crazy and miraculous reason they do make a new handheld, I hope it's way more consumer-friendly this time.

 

[notaskwid]

Show me the actual NX and ask again.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Because the market leader should respond to a company that's pivoting away from their business?

.

 

[?oe?oe]

Do you mean start development on a new handheld?

 

[dangeraaron10]

Nay.

For many reasons.

 

[alr1ght]

They're not even and don't need to be competing with them anymore.

 

[The Giant]

No. For nearly 30 years, not one company has succeeded in beating Nintendo in the handheld market.

Sony failed twice. It's best if they focus on something they are successful in.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Do you mean start development on a new handheld?

Yep, not exactly an announcement

 

[DiscoJer]

I think it's just too hard to support both a console and a handheld (not that Sony has really tried much to support their handhelds with their own first rate developers).

That's kinda why the NX is a hybrid, so Nintendo's developers can support only one platform. without having to balance releases

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Nay, I keep giving these Sony handhelds a shot and Sony keeps giving up on supporting them too soon for my liking.

 

[MilkyJoe]

I think Sony killed their own chances there

 

[Bitanator]

Nintendo were already coming out with a handheld regardless, Sony knows they hold no market share in this space besides niche hardcore gamers and weeaboos. It would be painful to release yet another failure

 

[Cookie Dough]

No.

 

[spazimoose]

Whoever does not miss the Vita has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.
I love my Vita but there's no way this happens. Sony would be crazy to try it a second time. I don't even know what they could do differently to avoid a repeat of the Vita's failure. It was fun while it lasted though.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

If it can play all PS4/Neo titles and consider an entity within PS4 family, sure.

You could have just said no.

 

[Ushojax]

There is no market for a handheld gaming product that isn't from Nintendo, Sony showed with the Vita that they wouldn't devote any significant resources to it and they are even less likely to do so now.

 

[darkwing]

no, Nintendo has won the handheld battle

 

[foolishoptimist]

I would buy one in a hearbeat.

But I couldn't recommend it as a business decision.

 

[antonz]

The 3DS took 5 different iterations of hardware to reach 20 million units in North America. That is a handheld with major support. That could breakdown as low as 10 million or less Unique owners.

One could easily wonder if the Handheld market is even viable anymore for anyone especially Sony who really cannot even hope to get the level of support Nintendo manages on handhelds.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

I love my Vita, but nope. That would be bad business.
