Sony and Microsoft's Next-Gen Plans Revealed: Multiple Devices and Portability in Focus

A reader of Metro.co.uk has attempted to decipher the plans for the next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft. The reader believes that both companies are planning multiple devices, including a portable option, which will be more affordable than their previous high-end models.

The reader notes that Sony's recent admission about its 'weird tech' that down-scales graphics to save power could be related to the development of a handheld console. This would mean that the portable device won't need to match the processing power of the PlayStation 5, making it more affordable for consumers.

The reader also speculates that Microsoft's Project Helix is not just one console but rather a range of devices with varying levels of power and functionality. They believe that Sony and Microsoft are following a similar strategy, with both companies planning to offer a high-end console, a portable option, and possibly other devices in between.

The reader concludes that the next-generation consoles will not be as revolutionary as expected, but rather an evolution of current technology with more emphasis on portability and affordability.
