An overseas X (formerly Twitter) account posted that “the PS6’s handheld will have graphics so overwhelming it’ll make the Switch 2 look prehistoric,” sparking discussion on 5ch’s game industry board (Geha). Many replies pointed out that the poster is just a fan with no ties to gaming media or any track record in analysis, while others questioned the claim’s feasibility on technical grounds, citing price, heat output, and differences in semiconductor process.
The PS6 will be a handheld that makes the Switch 2 look primitive.
That’s because it’ll pack PS6-level graphics on a handheld screen, while the Switch 2 only has PS4 Pro-level graphics.
Nintendo will always hold onto its position thanks to its wonderful exclusive titles, but compared to PlayStation it’ll remain old-fashioned.

That guy's just a Sony fanboy
He's not an analyst or anything of the sort
No website, no track record as a journalist, doesn't even have a YouTube channel
Are we supposed to believe it just because it's written in his bio?

The real question is whether such a thing will even come out
The more they push this, the more it's gonna flop lol

The punchline's gonna be cloud gaming via PS Portal, right?

If it's not under 100,000 yen, it's a non-starter
You can already do remote play for free on your phone
Apparently it's 8K/480fps, weighs 10 grams, and costs a million yen
It's weaker than a PS5, so in reality they're adding a power-saving mode just to get backward compatibility working — where's this delusional talk even coming from?
It's the same everywhere in the world — these guys flexing over pie-in-the-sky vaporware
Has the PS9 beta already started or something?

100,000 yen, they say! Meanwhile the Switch 2 is already 60,000 yen 🤦
It's "Canis", right?
With specs barely better than today's UMPCs, there's 'absolutely' no way it'll have graphics that overwhelm the Switch 2

Being able to play locally is nice too — makes it easy to pop in and out of sleep mode
They'd probably praise it to the skies even if you just photoshopped a Switch 2 game onto this so-called PS6 Portable's screen
Classic Sony fanboy who only ever tweets about Sony, lol

How many years until a handheld with specs like in >>1 could actually ship at a realistic size?
Just looking at heat dissipation alone, that seems like it's a long way off

If you give up on battery life like the GPD Win 5 and accept a screaming-loud fan, you could technically build a PS5-level handheld even now
It'd run insanely hot though

In the end it all comes down to how far you can cut power consumption
We'll only get a portable PS5 once something like a 0.5nm process actually exists

It's cheaper than the Switch 2 and has better specs, so why does the PS5 keep losing every week (in the sales charts)?

Worldwide, the PS5 is crushing the Switch 2
It just launched and is already this far behind — even overseas 'Nishi' (a derogatory 5ch term for diehard Nintendo fanboys) are admitting defeat

Guess there are guys like Kiyoshi Tane (a Japanese game journalist notorious for over-the-top pro-Nintendo takes) overseas too

Maybe this is where 'Tane' launders his takes through someone else

No, this isn't Tane
He's not even a journalist — just some overseas nobody (original calls him "gikkuri," an obscure put-down)

The Switch 2's guts are already a generation old, and they're wasting cost on the dock and Joy-Cons, so the performance isn't that high
If Nintendo just made a handheld-only machine at the same price, performance would go up quite a bit

But in reality, PS5 controllers cost more than Joy-Cons
Sad that we're in an era where even the PS Portal costs 40,000 yen ^^

Switch 2: ancient 8nm process
PS6 Portable: cutting-edge 2nm process
Nishi (Nintendo fanboys) just can't grasp what a massive gap that already is

Apple's latest iPhone might finally adopt 2nm after years of 'it's coming, it's coming' talk — got a slot open for that too?

Thinking the Switch 2, with an architecture that's already about 6 years old, can compete with the latest architecture is pathologically stupid

AMD's latest graphics cards
are basically on par with 6-year-old outdated cards
They can only make stuff that hasn't changed much

The Xbox handheld thing is 170,000 yen, so how much is a PS6 Portable that's supposed to blow way past that going to cost?
>>105
If they sell it for around 30,000 yen, I might actually buy one

It's going to be a handheld on par with the PS6?
