I compared the Steam Deck to the current market leader in console sales.

Which is Nintendo Switch when it comes to latest gen consoles. https://www.vgchartz.com/article/458542/ps5-vs-switch-sales-...

Do Playstation still have a portable unit of some sort? Like the PSP used to be.

If so, that's probably the thing to compare it against. :)

Sony gave up on handhelds after the PS Vita didn't take off (even though Sony never did anything to help it take off in the west in the first place).

They don't have any directly comparable unit.

They did recently release "PlayStation Portal" which has the form factor of a portable gaming unit, but its not really a portable gaming console, its a portable hardware streaming client for PS5 games.
