Rumors suggest that the PSP3 will use a less powerful version of the PlayStation 6’s chip.
A lot is happening in the PlayStation ecosystem right now, and rumors about Sony’s handheld plans and game prices keep growing. After Nintendo Switch 2 Direct took place this week, rumors about a possible new PlayStation handheld (often called the PSP3) have started to heat up, and gamers are speculating about what Sony’s portable device might have to offer.
One big worry is the price. Standard editions of Nintendo’s own games now cost more than they used to. For example, Mario Kart World costs $80 when it first comes out. This price hike makes people wonder if Sony will do the same.
Nintendo, on the other hand, has sold almost 70 million copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Sony, on the other hand, doesn’t have any exclusive games that sell that many copies. Sony might raise prices at some point, but it’s more likely to happen with the PlayStation 6 than with the current generation.
When it comes to the rumored PlayStation Portable, people shouldn’t get too excited. Rumors suggest that the PSP3 will use a less powerful version of the PlayStation 6’s chip, which means it won’t be a cheap handheld. The original PSP and PS Vita were made to be affordable.
This new device, on the other hand, is likely to be a high-end handheld that competes with high-end portable gaming PCs instead of the Switch 2.
