    PS4 quality games on a portable format would be amazing, and it’s just baffling how Sony missed the chance to do it first.

      They did. It’s called the Vita and it’s still amazing even after Sony dumped it. I have one a friend cracked for me, and any game I could possibly want to play runs at a crisp 50 fps with no fluctuation. If only they had marketed it better.

        I have one as well, but let’s not overpraise it. That handheld isn’t a “ps4 as a handheld” (obviously since the vita came out 2012 or 2011 cant remember which). And sadly it struggles to play its generation’s games (i.e. Borderlands 2 (one of my favs on vita) runs at 20-40 fps).

        There are great games that showcase its abilities auch as the killzone game, but that was made for that system.

        And let us not forget that it wasn’t a successful handheld. There is a reason sony hasn’t made a new handheld device since.
