Sacred Symbols+, Episode 422 | A Console That's Also A Portable, Sony Style (Patreon)

With rumors circulating anew of a portable PS5, it seemed appropriate to welcome Tom from Moore's Law Is Dead and the Broken Silicon podcast back to Sacred+. You see, Bloomberg has new reporting out of Japan that Sony's prototyping not a successor to PSP and Vita, but a handheld version of PS5 itself, a Nintendo-like move that seeks to unify the home and portable gaming segments. But to be fair, what's being suggested here is a bigger lift, because not even Switch's imminent successor is likely to get anywhere near the base PlayStation 5's level of power and capability. So how will Sony do it? We have no idea, of course, but that doesn't stop us from wildly speculating. And since Tom and his technical expertise are present, we also got into a few other notable topics along the way, including fresh thoughts on a potential PlayStation 6 (and PlayStation 7!), ruminations on PS5 Pro's strong sales figures (but sometimes uneven performance), and continued proclamations on how amazing Portal is (it really is).
