@JJtheTexan The specs suggest it would perform somewhere below a PS5, but better than a Series S. That said, the CPU should be a decent amount more performant than that found in any of the current consoles. The main concern is the GPU performance.
I wonder if they would implement some kind of streaming hardware into the PS6 and this handheld to allow higher quality and lower latency streaming between the two, much like the Wii U. The handheld would be great for playing PS4 games and many PS5 games with some tweaking natively, but PS6 could be a challenge, especially as you say later on in the generation. Either way, this would be a nice add, and was something people were wondering about PS Portal when it launched / was announced if I remember correctly? Do you think it would be forward-looking, or redundant? Great work as usual, and really enjoying the new website!
@facybenbook As I understand the leaks, it wouldn't be emulating the PS4/PS5 games, but supporting them in much the same way the PS5 supports PS4 games. As such, it isn't hard to believe the power would be there, since Steam Deck already (to an extent) has similar performance to a PS4. However, it would likely need to run a different version of PS5 games (with lower resolutions, etc.) which is part of the speculation around the power saving mode added to PS5 recently as mentioned in the article.

Re: In Theory: Could Sony's next-gen handheld run PS4, PS5 and even PS6 games?
