This post got a weird reaction. Is it because of the question in the title? It is unfortunate but Betteridge's law doesn’t really apply here as DF doesn’t do that kind of fluff pieces.

I'm sure it could. Unless they change it up, they're all gonna be on the same architecture, and modern consoles have what amounts to an OS. Will it? I dunno, I doubt it somehow.

Maybe because it's fucking dumb? If it runs PS6 games then it is the PS6, like the Switch is a handheld.

I think it’s very optimistic to assume it’ll be anything like current console offerings due to how Sony ecosystem looks like and limitations it imposes.

The only handheld console that has achieved anywhere near that level of back compatibility has been the Steam Deck, and it had to release with hundreds of listed caveats about slowly adding compatibility, and many higher-fidelity games being unplayably slow. Even the PS Vita needed a lot of porting work to run PS2 games. I seriously doubt the claims coming in.
