Maybe they’ll release one more, maybe, but I think that’s it after that. Gears of War on Playstation was already a strong indicator, but this seals it imo.

PC handhelds are way too large. I’d be hoping they stick to the small vita form factor, even though I know it’ll be tablet sized
Those PC handhelds felt like the final nail in the coffin for traditional handheld gaming. Big honking things playing full-fat console games is just how it is now
I dont mind the new handhelds being huge…but now that you are talking about it I would love a small pc handheld for indies like Spelunky, Vampire Survivors etc. Basically a cheap pure indie machine. That actually sounds like it could be cool . Wouldnt even need a lot of drive space on it since you arent going to run Call of Duty with it.
There’s an app called PortMaster that can be used to run ports of PC games on Linux handhelds. Weaker hardware like the cheapest Anbernic handhelds aren’t going to run everything, but there’s still a decent selection of games. https://portmaster.games/
This is what I want basically. A small device that gets ports of games that’ll run on lower end hardware.
There were rumors of the next Playstation being a hybrid console like the Switch, but the handheld part would probably be a huge slab. It does make me wonder how small you could make a console based on a x64 APU, thermals would probably be a major barrier.
