In our hearts. Sony&#8217;s handheld didn&#8217;t sell much, but it was a great console\u2014those of us who had it can attest to that. Even today, it remains one of the best handheld consoles that has ever existed. I<strong>t&#8217;s no surprise that Nintendo and Valve later took notes from it to make their own handheld consoles<\/strong>.

It seems they are not the only ones who have heard that information, as other media outlets are joining in to confirm the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Monday,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rKh5obR2TMs&amp;t=200s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">in their podcast DF Direct Weekly #191<\/a>, Digital Foundry confirmed that they had heard the rumors that Sony was working on a portable console weeks ago. <strong>If they hadn&#8217;t commented on it, according to John Linneman, it&#8217;s because &#8220;we&#8217;re not in the business of leaking things.&#8221;<\/strong> He also mentioned that &#8220;it&#8217;s interesting that the news has finally started circulating, because it confirms what we had already heard.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sony is not the only one interested in portable consoles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they have not been able to provide many more details, it seems that there may already be a prototype of the console, or at least, a concept of what they are looking for. Considering that Sony has already made two handhelds in the past, the PSP and the PS Vita, not counting the Portal device, <strong>it would not be surprising if they have made more progress than we imagined<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, all we know is that they are interested and their idea is for it to be a console capable of running PlayStation 5 games.<strong> This also coincides with Microsoft&#8217;s interest in making a portable console<\/strong>, undoubtedly due to the success of Valve, Rog, and Nintendo, with their portable consoles. It seems they are experiencing a second life that is not close to ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PlayStation Vita lives.
