TL;DR Summary

Google engineers have hacked the PlayStation Portal to run emulated PSP games, specifically showcasing Grand Theft Auto 3 running natively on the device. The hack involves running the PPSSPP emulator on the Portal, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi streaming. While the engineers do not plan to release the hack in the near future, they teased the release of demonstration videos. With Sony's history of handheld consoles and the success of the Nintendo Switch, the possibility of a PlayStation hybrid console is not out of the question, while Microsoft is also rumored to be working on an Xbox handheld.
