So, another Vita?
Too little, too late, probably. I love my Vita and my PSPs though, so I might be interested. If it's affordable.

Not exactly. “Nintendo-Switch-style” means it would be part of the PS6 stack, like any game that releases on console PS6 would also have to work on handheld PS6. And docking=the device runs in a higher power mode.

Yeaaaaa, I'll believe it when I see it. That sounds incredibly unlikely.

Yeah I don’t blame ya. Sony has dropped the ball on a lot of side hustles in the past. PSVR2 is just the most recent one.

Exactly. Nintendo is sort of known for crazy overcommitment. They really commit to the bit, wherever the wackiness takes them. Two screens? All in. Funky controller for 3 handed people? Ship it.
Nunchucks? Say no more.
Moving their entire line to a single portable device was probably one of their safer bets.
Sony though, everything is very much a slight twiddle of the prior version, and as you say, the side hustles all end up in the bin - sometimes with very little notice.
