Sony reportedly prepping PlayStation 5 portable, plans to battle Nintendo's handheld dominance

Sony is developing a portable version of the PlayStation 5, according to a new report.

Bloomberg states that Sony's portable PS5 project is still in the "early stages" and might not ultimately reach the market. Intriguingly, Bloomberg states that Sony's initial plans for the PlayStation Portal were for it to function as a standalone device, akin to the Steam Deck. Such a device would also help Sony bridge the gap between PS5 Pro, its recent mid-gen console refresh, and the inevitable PS6, which isn't expected until nearer the end of the decade.
