  • According to rumors, Xbox is set to enter the market during the next generation.
  • A reliable insider has revealed that after the successful launch of the PS Portal, Sony is also paying a lot more attention to the handheld market.

Nintendo has been ruling the handheld market ever since the release of Switch. There has been no other handheld that has come close, not even the Steam Deck. Following this dominance, rumors point to Microsoft and Sony breaking into the market.

The former is said to be working on a handheld for 2026 along with a new console. An insider has also suggested that Sony is more interested in this market than it has ever been, teasing that Sony is working on a dedicated handheld console.

Why it matters: The PSP era is considered a golden age by many since the handheld was wildly popular. Fans hope to see Sony giving this market another go soon.

PlayStation Portal
PlayStation Portal Was Immensely Successful, And It Was Unexpected

Tom Henderson, one of the most reliable industry insiders, has revealed that a lot more handhelds are coming soon. He reckons that fans should save their money a little longer if they are planning to buy a handheld since more innovations will be made soon.

A Twitter user then asked about a dedicated PlayStation handheld, and Henderson gave an interesting response. As the PlayStation portal was successful, the gaming giant is paying a lot of attention to the handheld market.

The PlayStation Portal was very successful, and they are paying very close attention to the current handheld market.

Henderson has taken the lead in reporting about the PS5 Pro on many occasions. So, he knows much more than most people when it comes to information about PlayStation. Fans also want the gaming giant to enter the handheld market again, and this teaser has led to a lot of excitement.

Sony PSP
The PSP Is Still Considered One of Sony’s Best Consoles

If PlayStation intends to be successful in this market again, it should learn from the original PSP to figure out why it was so special. The PlayStation Portal was a streaming handheld, so it may not be a good idea to use it as a reference.

Henderson also revealed that almost everyone had interesting discussions about the gaming handhelds at Gamescom and that many improvements are coming soon. He hasn’t shared further details, but more information seems inevitable at this point.
