Sony PlayStation Portable New Version in 2019: Are You Expecting Next-Gen Consoles This Year

Sony PlayStation Portable console which also comprises of the PlayStation Vita which is now discontinued is sure nostalgia for PlayStation loyalists globally. But the burning question at this point in time is whether Sony would launch a PlayStation Portable in 2019 that would be next-gen

Are you expecting a PlayStation Portable Console in 2019?

For starters, Sony has phased-out the PlayStation Vita. As of now, the PlayStation Plus games applicable to each month starting March 2019 would include titles applicable to only the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 without including that for the PS Vita.

This means that Nintendo is now officially the only major name in the portable gaming hardware segment. Also, Sony is yet to announce new PlayStation Portable plans. This means that for now, there are no PlayStation Portable consoles.

If you are expecting next-gen portable consoles from the Japan-based gaming giant, then it is desirable that you shift focus on the apparent next-gen successor to the PS4 (which rumour mills are claiming to be the PS5). This gaming device could also be shown off this year followed by an official launch in 2020. However, Sony is yet to officially throw light on the new gaming device scheme of things.

PlayStation-related developments

To rewind, it is worth noting that Sony would not be physically participating at the E3 2019; this event is already confirmed to witness participation from Microsoft which long back teased that it has “lots to share”. Gamers naturally are waiting with bated breath about these details.

Hence, there would be no reveals of a next-gen PlayStation console at the E3 2019 at least. However, there could be something at the Sony PSX 2019 event; excited fans are already sharing their share of expectations from the show; and the purported PS5 features in the scheme of things here.

In summary, 2019 could be a big year as far as new gaming consoles are concerned; do you expect reveals or full launches of next-gen iterations of these devices, do share your thoughts in our comments section below.
