I'm looking at that blogpost.... where does the OP get "Trinity" from?
Same place as it being announced at PS meetingI'm looking at that blogpost.... where does the OP get "Trinity" from?
Pure speculation...
Even if it was just the same thing built with cheaper components?Holy crap. If this is really a thing...I'm ready to pre-order 7 days ago.
Sony announcing it's own NX before Nintendo.

It's always been painfully obvious that Sony would make another handheld.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me :-\Yoshida was quizzed on Sony's plans for a gaming handheld during the Q&A portion of his just-finished EGX 2015 developer session.
The affable exec replied that he and the rest of his team had enjoyed working on Vita, but that the rise of smartphone gaming had created an unhealthy climate in which to launch a successor.
"That's a tough question," he replied when asked about a PlayStation Vita 2. "People have mobile phones and it's so easy to play games on smartphones," Yoshida said. "And many games on smartphones are free, or free to start.
"I myself am a huge fan of PlayStation Vita and we worked really hard on designing every aspect. Touch-based games are fun - there are many games with really good design. But having sticks and buttons make things totally different.
"So I hope, like many of you, that this culture of playing portable games continues but the climate is not healthy for now because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming."
Fair enough, that's all I was hmming about
Yep
If this is actually a new handheld by Sony, nintendo will be screwed
So... a Vita?My guess is if this exists it's a tablet/handheld type device that
1. Remote plays ps4 games
2. Plays backwards compatible games and ports of some PSN games.
Yep

Unless enough Visual Novel and niche RPG publishers banded together and asked Sony for another handheld...I don't see this happening.
So... a Vita?
I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it full DS4 controls to promote the remote play, though.
Yep

Like they were screwed the last two times?
If it turns out to be a Neo revision of the Vita that is both backwards compatible with ALL Vita games world-wide and uses non-proprietary SD-cards or 250GB on-board storage, then...
Take. My. Freaking. Money!!!
It's not happening. It can't be. Vita didn't succeed. What's the worth in trying again?
Unless this thing is either
A) Cheap as hell
Or
B) capable of emulating all PS games from PS3 to below
There isn't a good market for it. Sad but true.
If a vita sequel had a shared library with the ps4, and the same amount of physical buttons as a ds4 (as opposed to having to use the touch pad) I'd be all over it.

Colin Moriarty, is that you?
With that logic, Nintendo shouldn't try either considering the Wii U failed.
I wonder if this is a reaction to the NX being a hybrid. If they leave the NX entirely uncontested in the handheld space, it could provide a foothold for Nintendo to take back at least some of the console space from Sony.
PLEASE BE TRUE HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Here's what they need to do for this thing to not end up a failure:
-Release it at 199US$ or 249US$
-It needs to be compatible with commercial memory cards. That means no proprietary bullshit.
-A/V Out, full 1080p
boom. Instant success.
