Isn't Sony's attempt just a glorified steam link with its own screen?
It is, but Sony's also done PSP and Vita. Either way, its more than MS has done with Xbox.
Yeah they tried handhelds, barely made a dent to Nintendo market share then gave up.
People pretty often completely understate the Vita’s popularity/lifespan. Less than the 3DS for sure, but early metrics were stupidly counting hardware sales when it was moving early to digital.
In Japan it stayed popular long after the USA stopped talking about it.
I mean near the end of its life, the PSP was outselling the DS. Sony dropped the ball with Vita though.

In all honesty, I completely forgot they existed when I made my comment.
Doesn’t need to be as powerful and the battery lasts way longer.
Theres obviously downsides like needing a connection, but it’s meant to fit a different role than the steam deck.
That's what Xbox's will probably end up being too, haha.
