I agree with you. The PSP (and vita) was amazing because it was also its own thing, and you got games dedicated to it. Not that I don't find value in a handheld that offers up the same games, I love the switch, but it offers both purposes in one that makes it way more versatile. I don't really think a system that just plays PS5 games will be as big as they think. It could hit a small market for people that don't have a system and actually enjoy portable over a system.

One thing I don't agree with is that you think they will be 2 different games for sale and not a 1 buy gets it on either ps5 console or handheld? In this day in age seeing how switch and steam deck work I highly doubt that they will push this as 2 games. My guess is they request a mobile settings profile from developers to make sure it runs good enough on the hardware which will most likely be slightly less powerful than the console.

They may be crossbuy, which will definitely be awesome, but then it'd still have to buy a PC copy, and a Playstation one. Same reason why my Switch has basically become a Xenoblade Chronicles machine. I don't like paying double for an inferior version of the game, just so I can play it handheld
