Sony isn't alone in wanting to expand to the handheld market. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has been very open about his desires for an Xbox handheld, though it, too, is "a few years out," if it ever releases. Meanwhile, Nintendo will likely unveil the Switch 2 in the coming months, and the company confirmed the upcoming system will be backward compatible with the current Switch earlier this month.

A possible PS5 portable system would see Sony returning to the handheld market for the first time since launching PS Vita in Japan in 2011 (coming to North America in early 2012). The system was discontinued in Japan in early 2019, before the PS5 was released.

Before that, the PlayStation Portable came out in Japan in 2004 and North America in 2005. That Sony handheld competed with Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS throughout the mid- to late-2000s.
