      But seems its other way around, Sony launches its games in windows platform, and window handhelds plays Sony PS games. :p

        The slim version is nowhere to be found not even on the sony(usa) official webshop page. Slim has 1TB old ,one 825Gb

          So basically the PlayStation division is the only division keeping Sony afloat while the rest are bleeding.
          I don’t understand why Sony doesn’t do another real portable console (not the screen only one they just did). The PS5 rules the home console, but Sony doesn’t have anything on mobile/portable. They should enter the gaming smartphone market.

                        Games are so expensive now that you end up playing just a couple of them before you sell the entire console with those games.

                        Question for all of you : What's the total price per hour of gaming on PS5?

Games are so impossibly expensive to develop these days they are now often half baked upon release. Takes a while until they are actually enjoyable.

                            That’s why I normally wait a couple of years until I buy them. More stable, devs are finally done fine tuning its mechanics, and like 25-50% off? Can’t complain.

                                Upscaled or not, classic emulated games will be able to tide over most people.
                                But I don't have any hopes since most people game on mobile phones and the business model there is so predatory.
