Hey I've seen this one before. It's a classic.

As someone who owns a Vita, and loves it. This needs to be one of two things.

  1. A Steam Deck Clone with access to Steam, that way when they abandon it, I can still play newer games, even if they're indis

  2. Backwards Compatible with PS4 games, that way they have a software library and I don't need to worry about games.

Otherwise, this device will be all digital, with a proprietary OS, locked down box which will be abandoned in 2 years unless it can somehow eclipse the Steam Deck in sales.

If Sony releases a new handheld, it won't have your point 1. Sony just won't allow it.

It would be nice to have backward compatibility with PS4 games though, but I don't think Sony is currently releasing enough games that they can split them into 2 separate devices.
