PlayStation Sends Out Survey Regarding Switch 2 Amid Rumors of New Handheld

Expert Verified By

PlayStation Aiming To Gauge Interest In Handheld Gaming!

Story Highlight
  • PlayStation is asking its users about the Nintendo Switch 2.
  • The gaming giant hopes to gather feedback based on pricing, hardware capabilities, and more.
  • Rumors suggest a dedicated PlayStation handheld is in the works, and this survey provides evidence that this is indeed the case.

Although the Nintendo Switch 2 has captured the handheld market’s attention, both PlayStation and Xbox are also rumored to be working on a similar gaming console.

In fact, it seems that the recent Nintendo Switch 2 announcements have PlayStation asking users for feedback. In a new survey, the gaming giant is directly asking fans about the Nintendo Switch 2, potentially to measure interest in this segment of the market.

Why it matters: PlayStation has not been an active competitor in the handheld market for over a decade, and things have changed drastically since then.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was fully revealed earlier this week, and PlayStation’s survey appears to focus on key subjects like pricing and availability.

PlayStation asks gamers how they feel about buying the new hardware when considering the current price. It also inquires about the primary reason for gamers wanting to buy the Nintendo Switch 2, giving them choices between new features, upgraded hardware, and more.

Finally, the survey discusses Nintendo’s approach to pre-orders, with the gaming giant hoping to combat scalping. Such feedback could prove invaluable to PlayStation in the future if it hopes to avoid the launch debacle it faced during the PS5’s release.

These questions provide additional evidence that PlayStation is indeed working on a new handheld since it would be odd for the gaming giant to be so specific in its questions if this was not the case.

The gaming giant’s latest experience with handheld gaming is limited to the PlayStation Portal, a dedicated streaming device. Therefore, feedback from users of Nintendo’s ecosystem could give Sony additional insight into a different segment of the market.
