It's still "years away", similar to the Xbox handheld.

Depends on if it will be a unique system or compatible to the PS5 game library. I mean if a PC can do that, then a highly optimized console should be able to. However, I'm a bit skeptic, as the PS5 is a huge console that needs ton of cooling. If there was a weaker console version where the games day 1 has to be compatible, like the Series S, then a handheld would be much more attainable. That's an advantage on the handheld sight for Microsoft.

Therefore I'm curious on a technical level. If its end up being a unique weaker handheld, then it will be easier to emulate. :-)
