Sony’s PlayStation has long dominated the gaming market, thanks to its cutting-edge hardware and extensive collection of exclusive titles. Its remarkable success in terms of sales and positive reputation has solidified its position as the frontrunner among gaming consoles. Recent leaks and reports suggest that Sony has set its sights even higher, with plans to venture into the next-generation portable console arena.

Nintendo has reigned as the unrivaled leader in the realm of portable gaming with its iconic Gameboy, NDS, and Switch series. Many contenders have attempted to dethrone Nintendo, but none have come close to challenging its dominance. The tides may shift with the emergence of Sony’s rumored handheld console, which has the potential to accomplish the impossible and pose a genuine threat to Nintendo’s supremacy.

Qualcomm, a multinational corporation with headquarters in San Diego, has established a firm presence in the industry of semiconductors, software, and services related to wireless technology. But now the company has set its sight on expanding its horizons and delving into the gaming industry. 

Alex Katouzian, the esteemed Senior Vice President of Qualcomm, unveiled an intriguing collaboration between Qualcomm and Sony’s mysterious venture, known only as “Project Q.” This revelation took place during the highly anticipated Computex 2023 event, where Katouzian shared Qualcomm’s ongoing discussions with PlayStation regarding their upcoming project.

Katouzian expressed many console game companies are eager to explore handheld devices, not aiming for high-end graphics capabilities, but aiming to keep mobile gamers within their own gaming ecosystems. He further emphasized that Qualcomm, being a titan in the realm of Android gaming, is a prime candidate for such collaborations, as console game companies are well aware of Qualcomm’s extensive reach and influence in this domain.
