Sony did make a handheld. It just never left Japan. The PocketStation is a PlayStation memory card you can take with you. Slot it into a PS1 and it saves your game like any other card. Pull it out and it wakes up — a small monochrome screen, four buttons, an infrared window, and a coin cell keeping it alive in your pocket. Sony released it in Japan in January 1999. It was announced for the West and then quietly dropped. That is why collectors outside Japan spend years finding out it exists, and then finding out they cannot buy one at home. If you played Final Fantasy VIII, you already know what it was for. Chocobo World ran on this thing while the console was off, and the chocobo you raised on the train walked back into your save.
