I do get it, I am sure there is a decent market for a new PSP like device with more modern processing capabilities but I am not sure if that would be a 10 million+ user kind of device. PSP came in right before online made a really large encroachment on game systems. Things like the PSP Go didn't fly because of that, nowadays it might do a lot better.

As an aside, I really liked the brief time I got to work on PSP software. From what I remember it was a fixed function GPU and a decent enough CPU that all felt really balanced for the time. After working on things like Gameboy Advance and a little bit of Nintenod DS, it felt like an ocean of possibility compared with those two. I'm sure if I was to go back to it now it would feel claustrophobic but at the time it was pretty comfy.

After the PS Vita I doubt Sony will try their hand again in the traditional hand-held market. PS Portal seems pretty nice too.

Why not? Steam deck and nintendo switch certainly were.

And the PSP, unlike both of those (and the steam deck clones) was the right size to be played everywhere.
