I agree, but graphics are sort of hitting a wall. If they can muster a portable PS5 in a few year that might be good enough, since if the jump from PS4 to PS5 is any indication, PS5 to PS6 will only be noticed by the Digital Foundry comment section anyway.
Option 2: Sony says "Fuck it!" and copies Nintendo's business model. This rumored handheld is actually going to be the next Playstation; an portable that can dock to a base to play on a TV just like the Switch.
Apple does not dominate any market, Android devices make up 70% of all smartphones, Windows makes up roughly 75% of all desktop and laptop PCs and Linux dominates the field of supercomputer and web servers.
iPads are absolutely everywhere, and a lot of shops use them as POS systems. And it wouldn't surprise me if iPhones are dominant in Christendom. Plus, I'm not certain, but I think Apple might still have the highest market cap of any business in the entire world.
Not that I'm defending them. I used to use Apple stuff, but macOS is terrible, and apparently their laptop keyboard quality has nosedived.
So MS is rumored to leave the console market, while Sony makes dumber decisions by cashing in on Marvel and Neil Druckmann with forced ESG. Who is even "ahead" between MS and Sony? It's basically who can make the dumbest decisions.

But seriously its all dumb. Whoever is the business consultant these companies are listening to is steering us as best he can to a video game industry collapse and I'm here for it.
I don't think we really have the battery tech to be both a meaningful generation advance and portable. And with Xbox by all means fucked at this point it would be very weird for Sony to give up the market they just won
That would be the limiting factor. Even with the refresh, the PS5 is still huge. Things would have to get more efficient and shrink substantially in the next few years to make a effective handheld. Not to mention, yeah, they just won the TV gaming market. Hell, even I just got a PS4, a guy that's been team Xbox for basically a decade.

There's two franchises from Sony that'd I like to see return: The Order and Bloodborne. Ready at Dawn was onto something there. And not to pull a @Dom Cruise, but the women in that game were pure masculine within that time period. Actually, three. Hot Shots Golf.

Order was a shit movie-game and Hot Shots Golf exists, under a different name, on Switch. And then there's Bloodborne. Fromsoft is a very busy studio, the holdups are probably on their end, not Sony's.

Don't most of their new releases run on both already? Looks like it's something called "Play Anywhere". But I can't see a comparison of which titles do or don't support it.

Play Anywhere isn't nearly comprehensive, though. Everything new on Xbox also gets released on PC, but it's up to the publisher to decide if they want it to be Play Anywhere. Not that it's very useful, though, since Windows Store games are installed in a weird way, and cannot be added to Steam.
inb4 WHERE ARE MY CINEMATIC NARRATIVE GAMES IN REALISTIC 4k
consolefags (outside nintendies) are probably one of the worst and dumbest graphicwhores, made worse that sony+ms are catering to them hard.
sony won't be able to pull a nintendo with simple bing bing wahoo. they lack the audience, IPs and developers.
Something has to give, even as retarded and pozzed as Sony is right now, they have to sooner or later realize that they are not reaching the sale numbers to warrant the obscene budgets they are spending to create their "cinematic narratives for modern audiences". This rat race of ever inflating budgets combined with creatively bankrupt and ideologically possessed development teams is going to spell absolute ruin for them.
Sony really does need to broaden their appeal to the type of audience that is attracted to what Nintendo offers and do so with smaller budgets and less focus on graphical spectacle. Case in point, Palworld was developed with a budget of $7 million and that game has sold between 20-50 million copies according to SteamSpy because it offered something an PC audience craved similar to Nintendo's offerings.

Graphics are long pass the point of diminishing returns. If anything the incompetence of diversity hires and nepotism that is plaguing game development teams in the present is resulting in games that aesthetically and technically are inferior to games that came out a decade ago.
Rocksteady is a perfect example of the dramatic decline in the quality of their output. The people that worked in that studio for the old Arkham games is long gone. A solid art design and pleasant aesthetics is now more valuable than pushing a biggest number of polygons.

There is a perception of Apple being hugely popular and dominant, but on a worldwide scale iPhones are the minority in the smartphone market share compared to Android phones. Part of this perception falls on the fact that iOS is only found in Apple products meanwhile Android is available to every other phone manufacturer on the planet.
I checked for more detailed info and found these maps that corroborates my previous statement regarding Android being 70% of that market as well as countries indicated by preference of phone brands.
It always really was. Something always looked off, especially European games, they just had this grime. It worse now that they're purposefully ruining it but there wasn't much there of value to begin with.
