Sony may be working on a portable version of the PlayStation 5, but it feels like there are already more reasons to write it off than look forward to it.

Sony is said to be working on a new handheld gaming console, one that would let users play PlayStation 5 games on the go. According to Bloomberg, the move is part of Sony's effort to take on Nintendo and Microsoft in the portable gaming arena. However, the launch of this futuristic device may still be years away.
