Is this old? Says the patent was filed in 2015 but was just published.

Also I'm implying Switchyness but can't tell if the controls are removable. There does seem to be something not-one-piece about them, though.

Vita 2. .. . . .

All hail the PlayStation Shift.

 

[L~A]

Looks like a controller for use with a smartphone/tablet, not really a handheld. At least,that's what it makes me think of.

 

[orochi91]

I wonder what kind of specs a hypothetical PS "Switch" would have.

All hail the PlayStation Shift.

lmao

 

[TGO]

I said this before and no one paid attention.
It's like everyone has short memories lol

 

[Disagree Guy]

I can't wait til it's announced and then every thread about a new game gets plagued with the same 3rd or 4th response

'No word on the PS Switch Version?'

 

[Simon-chan]

Switch means life.

 

[Pámpano]

Those Move-Cons

Smartphone or tablets only have on USB port on one side so this wouldn't work on smartphone/tablet

 

[Jonneh3003]

Looks like a tablet controller although I wouldn't be surprised if PS5 is a Switch like device.

 

[sanstesy]

this looks ugly af

 

[newbong95]

does amd have any gpu low power enough to scale down pc games to 720p resolutions ?

 

[CEJames]

What. Is. This.

Fake?

Sony still thinking about dipping in the handheld field?

Patent was filed 3 years after the Vita was launched. When was it declared dead again??

Should I get my hopes up for a Vita successor?

 

[Grim Patron]

i mean nintendo already copied vita pricing with every accessory being like a vita memory card :^)

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

this looks ugly af

Patent drawings are purposely made not to look like the real product. They just need to show approximately what the unique features are.

 

[Cuburt]

Sony doesn't want you to share the joy.

Nah seen this ages ago

 

[ponpo]

Nah seen this ages ago

Where?

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Where?

I'm sure it was on here, trying to track down, if I've not seen it then I'm very much mistaken and seen something amazingly similar to it.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

looks like a tablet controller. probably for PSNow. would be bluetooth and just clip on to your tablet, but PSNow has been discontinued for tablets, right?

 

[JetSetRadio]

Glad PS4 is selling like hotcakes, I just need a console.

 

[ponpo]

The fact that the diagrams seem to have some information applied specifically to the tablet part, as well as none of the diagrams showing the controller parts detached, lead me to believe the patent isn't just for a tablet controller but rather a whole device.

 

[DavidDesu]

Interesting. Frankly I'd take a dumb Wii U style streaming screen for a future PS5 that could perhaps also run all Vita and PS1 and PS2 software. To go one better perhaps able to run PS4 software which can be fairly easily down-ported to the device...

I just can't see a Sony portable having any success and if Sony do try again for the love of Christmas [ahh autocorrect, I'll leave this in lol] enough with the proprietary super expensive SD-but-not-an-SD cards!

Switch will do great however.

 

[Murdamonk]

I didn't even know PSNow exist on tablet.

Probably will never see the light

 

[Kenzodielocke]

The diagrams seem to have at least some information specifically applied to the tablet part itself, as well as none of the diagrams show the controller parts detached, leading me to believe the patent isn't just for a tablet controller but rather a whole device.

Yeah, this is not a tablet. It looks like PS Vita buttons.

I don't think this will ever come out though.

 

[guit3457]

E3 Maybe?

 

[Stairouais]

 

[L.O.R.D]

maybe its PS4 Portable?
i was thinking in the past months,if someone made PS4 portable,it will be super cool.

 

[Scrawnton]

E3 Maybe?

No. Sony abandoned the Vita and a lot of people will have zero faith that Sony would support another handheld. I owned a vita and a psp but I would laugh every time I saw a third Sony handheld.

 

[guit3457]

SONY? Maybe? lol

 

[Oregano]

#Trinity.

Sony gonna show Nintendo how it's done.

 

[jblank83]

Sony innovates the industry yet again.

Sony setting new standards.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I would honestly love a premium off screen controller for every console to be available as an option. Obviously it's been a core feature on Nintendo consoles for awhile now and it's a big part of the allure of handhelds for me too, but being able to play playstation games sans TV in a way that upgrades the compromised button scheme on vita remote play would be great. Same goes for xbox. Obviously there are remote play options but closer to the Wii U pad would be great.

 

[Mediking]

Lmao wrap it up. Thread is over.

 

[Simon-chan]

#Trinity.

Sony gonna show Nintendo how it's done.

Well, you can't have Neo and Morpheus without Trinity.

 

[newbong95]

Since all games now run on pretty scalable engines and ps4 scaling up to 4k with pro .. can't cerny be making a device that can scale down ps4 games to 720p and run on a tablet like device with dual-cons !

Maybe ps5 consist amd's k12 arm architecture as cpu and can scale to portable power requirements . Now sony is not over with generations as cerny mentioned . So maybe the next change is arm , which enables sony to launch a family of devices for different types of users .

But then theres playstation now .

Sony is not gonna go head to head with Nintendo again in the handheld market when Nintendo already trounced them twice. What about the vita makes anyone think Sony is ready to jump back in?

 

[FATALITY]

I heard the same thing with Wii u.
And we all know how it turns out

 

[RageWaffles]

Looks comfortable to hold, and would probably have more than one game I'm interested in.

So, yeah, I'd probably buy this.



(but I'd be shocked if it ever actually materialized)

 

[Drackhorn]

Proper d-pad!

 

[Risk Breaker]

Would buy.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Patent filed in 2015.

Spoiler

Your post is still amusing, though.

 

[sense]

Goddamn Detective shu was on the loose with a purpose. Taking notes on what they need to do!!!!

 

[CEJames]

Yes!

Believe!

 

[Newtype-001]

would buy,
would also probably have a web browser.

would be nice to have both but im not really hurting for a new sony handheld

ahhhh didn't see this one. looked like a tablet cover in the op pictures.

Sony would GLADLY go back in if they could sell over 80 million again. regardless of Nintendo.

 

[i HeaR MusiC]

LMAO!!!!

 

[Lichter]

hahaha

But this time it would have the ps4 catalog of games .

 

[Klart]

Good'un.
