no one is going to choose this for music, adding all the peripheral devices you list, it's no longer a portable daw which is what the op suggests. as in that screen and two joysticks.
so "no"
At no point did I say this was THE music making device. The OP asked if the device could be used to make music. The answer is yes. You don't need the peripheral, monitor, keyboard mouse, etc, but you are going to have a bad time if that's your use case, it's still primarily designed and marketed as a gaming device. But it does have a touch screen, two touch pads etc.

Spec wise there is nothing stopping you from installing your DAW and VSTs of choice (something you can't do on an iPad for example) and go to town. It's more than powerful enough to run any modern DAW or VST.

I'm not recommending people get this over a PC or laptop, I'm just saying the capability is there.

At the resolution specs with Studio One which supports touch screen functionality, this is how it looks....But as for the device itself, having had a PSP in the past, I would be pretty happy to have one of these to produce music with. You can get away with not using a midi keyboard to create music with in Studio One. What would be interesting though is DAW software specifically designed for the device.

Why not try it out? If you bought it primarily as a gaming machine having something that can perform secondary duties as an audio scratch pad seems like a logical step for a gamer and musician on the go. We've been making music on Ipads since 2010. It really isn't a big step of the imagination to anticipate some musical use for this. Even if it isn't revolutionary it could be valuable in some situations especially if you don't already have a laptop or spare Ipad kicking around.

I'm getting one for games anyway and I'm definitely gonna try sunvox, renoise, and bitwig on it.

I'd be really interested to read about this. If you had the time to put up a blog , youtube clip or even a few paragraphs here count me in. Keep us in the loop.
