Are there new handhelds in that form factor ? I love my steam deck but the PSPs were quite a bit more compact. Also, having tried both (PSP and vita) for a while, they felt like they had amazing build quality but idk if that’s true. I definitely liked using them both anyway which is probably why people are keeping it alive.
I guess my main problem with them was that they were really expensive, in parts due to their gimmicky tech imo (UMD/back touch surface)
Well, not really, but there’s a constant stream of new consoles from Retroid, Anbernic, AYN, Ayaneo, Miyoo… and a dozen other brands, and it’s kinda an in-joke.
Some are in a PSP-like form factor, Vita too, even PSP Go, some are like a GBA/GBA SP, Game Boy, DS/3DS… and some come in unusual form factors. Some are cheap in components and build, others are really powerful and well made (what is reflected in the price difference). All options/preferences are covered, I think.
Just have a quick look here (no need to watch the videos, just skim through the thumbnails to see what’s going on):

Like every other week.

You’ll find a few interesting PSP-like ones in the second and third page, but going further maybe the models are “too old” or discontinued.
