From Qualcomm it is pointed out that PlayStation has contacted them for portable console models, something that could point to a stronger commitment in the future after Project Q.
After the announcement of Project Qthe new device dedicated to portable gaming for PlayStation, information and comments do not stop emerging regarding what it will mean for the future of ps5. At the moment, no official details regarding its release date or price are known, although they should be announced in the coming months, since its arrival on the market is scheduled for end of this year. However, pI might not be the only project dedicated to portable gaming that was in mind on the part of Sony, according to a track offered by Qualcomm.
And it is that the chip manufacturer has recently offered very interesting details, something that could point to future Nintendo consoles in the future. However, in the communication Qualcomm also mentions PlayStation, which is opening two possible paths. The first is that these conversations took place a long time ago for the formation and manufacture of Project Q, something that seems unlikely considering that the concept of this laptop has been in the works for much longer than imagined. The other, could somehow define the future of the PlayStation brand.
With the company’s words, there is a possibility that Sony is looking for new formulas for the future to offer portable gamingbeyond Porject Q. This would open the door to see a real portable console by PlayStation in the next few yearsalthough at the moment it is only speculation regarding the statement issued by Qualcomm and that you can read below.
Qualcomm reveals that PlayStation has contacted them for portable game development
“Those companies [PlayStation y Nintendo] are interested in having portable gaming capabilities. So, obviously, they have approached and talked to us. I think, in general, they would approach someone like Qualcomm because they know how big we are in gaming within Android.” These were the words of Alex Katouzian, vice president of Qualcomm, so it sounds like you are referring to recent conversations with both companies.
For now this whole thing is an unknown quantitybut considering that PlayStation is making a return to the portable gaming market in some way, it would not be strange if in the future we could see a dedicated console exclusively or adopt the hybrid format as Nintendo Switch currently allows.
