The New PlayStation Handheld Is Lame

- The PlayStation Portal doesn’t look great, or amazing, or even good, but even still, there’s some excitement to be had about a new Sony handheld, right? I mean, a portable PS5, in some capacity might be pretty cool?
Wrong!
This is a disaster.
And today, I’m gonna, talk about that.

Good to see Sony deciding to compete with their greatest threat: the *Wii U.*
I *WISH* the Portal worked like the Wii U; it might actually be worthwhile if that were the case. But no, apparently Sony is SO incompetent and out of touch that they didn't even give you the option of connecting to a PS5 directly - you MUST use Wi-Fi. What an utter travesty. "Abomination" is completely apt.
This thing is even more DOA than the Wii U and Vita, and Sony continues their trend of releasing half-baked secondary Playstation products that COULD HAVE been amazing if only they'd put some real effort into them.
Remember when they made the PlayStation Move to compete with the Wii?
Then waited 6 entire years to retroactively make it a VR controller?
@@alexcallenderi think they said there is a direct connection wia playstation link
PS Portal design like that make me want to snap it very bad because the attach part controller with screen look easy to snap 😂😂😂
@@mariokarter13 remember when move was out before the wii and nintendo like xbox stole sony ideas and tweaked them
"Sony, you're not Apple. You're not even Nintendo..."

@jabron.destoroyahL opinion
@jabron.destoroyahyou the type of person to legitimately get bothered at other people who have free will who play those “atrocities”.
Yeah they kinda are. They can sell everything and people will buy it.
They really saw the Wii U gamepad and thought "Yes, I want exactly that"
Except they id it worse
If it doesn't have a second screen functionality like the Wii U, then it adds not much value
Heh, the Wii U was the first thing I thought of too. But worse and more expensive. Bang up job Sony!
to be fair......the WiiU gamepad was actually a pretty awesome device just attached to some dead weight lol
Was thinking the same thing
I think comparing the price of a steam deck to the portal is only fair if you consider the cost of the ps5 combined with the portal bc the portal by itself is useless
that’s so true
thats stupid. if you dont have a ps5 you dont need this. makes 0 sense to compare
@@seuper_gamingExactly. It's the same as people saying to get a Switch instead. The Switch can't play PS5 games. 😂
@@frank234561And the PS5 can't play switch games. Also the Portal is $200 and needs a $500 console to play, it's not truly portable, I can't take it on a plane ride or on the metro. The switch is portable, any game on the switch is playable anywhere. The switch is more expensive than the Portal, but it does so much more. This will go the way of the 32x and Sega CD.
Every TV is pointless because they show nothing unless you subscribe to content 🤡
Yeah, guess what, that's why I don't have a TV, or a DualSense, OR a PS5.
I might just get one when this is available though, save me a cool 600 on a TV.
They’ve just made the Wii U again but worse.
That's anm achievement tbh
The wii u would be superior no wifi needed to play on the tablet.
.... How is it worst. You can play with it anywhere with a good wifi connection
@@cybernate9093you didn’t even need wifi for the wiiu 😭
@@cybernate9093you need to pay 700 dollars to use it while the Wii u was 300
the $399 steam deck is actually fine. The only difference is storage space (just buy a microSD)
way better than $199 for a tablet that basically doesn't work without WIFI, never understood cloud streaming
I actually bought one last year and I'm pretty happy about my purchase.
However, in retrospect I actually might regret going for the more expensive 650$ model over the regular 400$ version. I ended up buying an sd card and all my games are stored on it so I didn't really need the bigger hardrive space, And while Load times aren't instantaneous, they're reasonably fast enough for me.
In the end though, having my steam library in a portable system was and is still really satisfying.
You can also swap the SSD for another with bigger storage
PS Portal couldn't do cloud gaming, only PS5 streaming.
Thats what I do love about the Steam Deck, Valve is really pro-consumer for a company and basically encourages you to take the thing apart and provides basically everything you need to fix it if you break something. I wish more companies did that; my Alienware Laptop is almost a paper weight right now with no decent parts to fix its fans just because it is out of warranty, ebay has some knockoff ones and there just as bad, and Dell doesn't have the OEM parts after their done selling a device.@@speed3414
Edit: I will say, it is not that you can't fix the Alienware...they are relatively easy to open but because Dell, they stop providing major parts after the device stops selling. They have a "possibly compatible" battery and some overpriced RAM/SSDs, but nothing else.
won't buy steam deck after they did bait and switch. they took preorders then after doing thousands of orders they changed it to make it cheaper and worse then launch one I and many others ordered. after taking year and half to even get me it. I wanted the one I ordered and put money down on. Sony and microsoft can't do that, they have to make a new model number and sku. they even tried to hide it on their site. fuck steam.
This is the VitaTV all over again, just wait a few months and it'll be in bargain bins!
Except now the PS TV is expensive and sought after. I doubt this will ever be. 😅
@@DP12321totally stuff with a bunch of extra stuff to operate usually are bargain bin forever grate example karaoke games
With the GREAT difference than the VitaTV was a fully fleshed console, instead of a glorified WII U screen. The VitaTVs are now highly seeked machines by the Vita community, specially for video capture.
Except the vita actually has Bluetooth.
Encyclopedia dramatica!
The big difference between this and a Wii U gamepad that no one is talking about, is that the Wii U actually used its tablet controller in conjunction with the TV screen in some games. And the games that used this feature well, used it INCREDIBLY well to the point where the tablet was an essential part of the experience. It was more than just a "play while someone else is using the TV" gimmick
I feel like enough people don't talk about how you could buy a portable Android gaming device with built in controls for about $200 with the Ayn Odin Lite. It has all the functionality of the Android platform, while still being able to stream PlayStation and Xbox games perfectly.
NOT TO MENTION, everyone already has a phone. You could buy a Backbone PlayStation controller for your phone, and save $100 and boom you have a PlayStation Portal.
Don’t even need to get a backbone controller. Just get a stand for your phone/tablet.
Plus with your phone you have a cellular connection. Wouldn't be ideal to play with, but at least you wouldn't be 100% tethered to Wi-Fi.
why would i want to do that though? even that is a waste of money when i could buy a steam deck instead.
@@dangdudedan8756 One is base price $400 with a 720p color inaccurate screen with at most 6 hours of battery life, the other is half the cost, smaller, 1080p, and 8+ hours battery life
I mean the Steam Deck is great and all but there's other room in the market for devices that do different things
@@mrshmuga9 It was just to point out there's a similar phone controller with PlayStation branding out there
It's borderline impressive that they made a product that has infinitely less worth than the sum of its parts.
Ahhahahahahah
Looks like one of those late 2000s Xbox 720 PS4 Wii 2 fan designs.
This will be PlayStation in 2013
Matches up with the actual PS5, pretty sure the kids who made those videos originally now work in Sony's design team
BRO NOT THESE KIND OF VIDEOS LMFAO
The amount of people actually willing to buy this is insane. Sure, it's mildly more ergonomic for this hyper specific use case, than a tablet or phone with a controller clip, but is it $200 better? NO!
If you have that much to spend on such little functionality, you can afford a switch, steamdeck, or it's competetors
The cheapest model of Steamdeck costs twice as much. But a Switch Lite is about the same price and there's no latency.
@@OtakuUnitedStudiothis thing needs a PS5 to function in the first place. Add that to the cost, you need 700 dollars to match the Steam Deck at 400. The Steam Deck is portable, plays games locally *and* can act like a full fat PC in a pinch... Try that with the PS5...
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Ok but you forget one important thing. In case of performance switch doesnt even reach its heels. I will definitely buy that because I have internet connection everywhere with mobile data and I will have better performance than that in switch.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio try as I might I've never been able to fit my ps5 disc into my switch lite can you explain your secret?
@@Lastomir099 Unless you're a big fan of input lag and glitches, there's absolutely no way you're gonna get a nice experience out of this thing on *mobile* reception.
They legit saw the least used feature on the PS Vita and said "We should make that the only feature."
My guess as to why this exists is that some Sony executive saw the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally and said "make me that, but for the PS5" the engineers were probably scratching their heads as to how they could do that and decided to make a local streaming device, probably because the executives specifically wanted it to work with the PS5. Why does it not do cloud streaming? I imagine that to hit a price point that makes any sense sony spent the bare minimum on internals and cloud streaming requires a processor to run a web browser and do video decode, and storage to hold the date for that cloud streaming application, while the specifications needed to do that are minimal, there aren't a lot of bottom tier Socs that can do that, that are still in production, so I imagine that's why that feature got cut.
None of that means the end product is even worth it. They should cancel this thing while they still can.
@@thatguy1080 I mean yeah. It's a complete piece of shit, but odds are given the release date (sometime later this year) these things are already rolling off the assembly line. So canceling it now means Sony loses all the money they've put into these things rather than some or potentially, none.
I miss the PSP era
i think you mean the ds era 😘
@@winterwatson6811both are good
This thing is not the PSP we asked for.
The PSP/DS era was the golden era of the handhelds, with games designed/intended to be played on the go. The 3DS/Vita was the Silver era, with similar designs to the previous gen, and retrocompatibility (I'm conflicted if that gen may have been better)
Our current generation (Switch amd Steamdeck) is closer to a more compact laptop than a pure handheld. Great concept, but I miss the design paradigm of the older gens.
I miss the PS1/2 era.
Truly one of the remote play devices of all time
I am so sick of this meme comment format.
@@abletothinkTruly one of the comments of all time
@@abletothinktruly one of the replies of all time
We thought Google Stadia was bad and now we have Playstation Portal to beat it by a landslide for being worse.
why? they sold the vita as same idea. to stream your ps4 games from ps4 to your vita. its sole reason I used mine. stadia also worked great for me but this is apple to oranges. one is streaming a game from server 200 miles a way and there other is streaming from your ps5 10 feet away. stadia problem was and is google not being patient. Sony playstation didn't just appear and become success in year. it took them 10 years to make and many years to get to where they are. google thought they should be able to pop a AAA game out in 6 months or less.
The vita had MUCH more usage considering it had exclusives
@@sly2792004 The Vita was a full console that could run games natively or emulate games in addition to streaming them. The Vita wasn't sold as "stream your PS4 games to a handheld," it was sold as a competitor to the 3DS.
This is a very good video too. I like you chopping up the live stream and adding another script on top. If this is substantially faster for you than the other videos, I think this is a good way forward.
Sony really took a look at Nintendo's greatest financial failure, the Wii U, and said "Yes please"
Spend $200 on this so that you can play your PS5 in a different part of the house, presumably in the event that you don't have access to the TV it's hooked up to.
OR
Spend less than that on a 32-inch TV that you put in a different part of your home, move your PS5 over to it, and then game on a larger screen than this and get the same results.
But that takes a lot of work and still costs quite a bit, plus you wouldn’t be able to play the games outside of your house and etc. don’t particularly like this sort of device but I don’t think that’s a viable alternative
@@brandondenny226 I’m not saying it’s a particularly versatile device, but if I was someone who liked remote play on my phone, I’d be pretty hyped for this device
You can play outside of your house, or other side of the planet as long as you have a good connection on both ends. That's the only factor. @@brandondenny226
I feel like the only person who would enjoy this product (I have motion-sickness on Big TVs, and I liked the Wii U), but I would never spend $200 on an accessory like this.
even for someone like you, there are cheaper alternative solutions that already exist
@@unconcernedsalad2 Like legit, since it requires already owning a playstation you already have the controller it came with and we live in a world where you literally cannot survive without a smartphone. Since the dualshocks/sense work off bluetooth, you can just natively pair it to your phone and do remote play like that for no extra cost. Even assuming you don't have the controller somehow but still have the playstation, that only an extra $60~ USD and like $10~ for a stand for the phone if you don't wanna just lean it off an old battery box.
@@Cr3zantthis is true but I like using my phone for texts and calls not gaming. I've tried playing on my phone a few times and I always get a call or text and it messes everything up
You could get a Switch Lite for the same price for this Sony Wii U gamepad. And play those games anywhere! Instead of, you know, in the other room away from your PlayStation.
You can just buy a pretty decent gaming monitor for that price if wanting to play in a different room is the issue. There are also literally wireless video transmitters you can buy if you don't wanna move the entire console to another room. The lag probably won't be as bad on those either. I actually played through nearly the entirety of spider-man on ps4 this way when it originally released.
I wanna play laying down in bed. I dont think it's for most people but everyone saying it's stupid and has no purpose is stupid. it'll sell millions of them. just cause it won't sell 100 million doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. the only reason I ever used my vita was to remote play my ps4 .
@@sly2792004 you can't lay in bed and play on a tv???? Jesus Christ.
@@Finfection not while im watching tv now. also a lot of people dont have a tv in their bedroom. most houses just have one tv.
@@sly2792004 That's simply false. Lol
@@sly2792004yeah but a gpd (odin I think) is $200, or use a phone clip and your current phone with any blutooth controller.
It's just way too niche
Aside from Steam deck being able to play games locally, its also just a fully functional PC, especially if you have a dock to plug it into a mouse, keyboard, and monitor; The deck is pretty popular with people who want a PC that can play games but also something that can do college work. Aside from just doing its job of playing games better, the deck has actual utility compared to whatever this thing Sony is making.
ok but this is like telling a person who wants a boat to just get a car instead. car has more uses. why would you get boat over a car. maybe cause they want a boat.
Not really, considering if you wait long enough, sony exclusives make it to steam. Making it possible to play on the deck anyways
Hopefully it's strong enough to be modded to emulate PS2/P/Vita and others.
Otherwise I hope it flops and I hope they lose money.
And that whomever greenlit this stands on a Lego brick.
How many seperate devices does an individual jeed thats modded to play older games? I can understand having one device for that, but not every device needs that
I think when ""this thing"" eventually gets jailbroken it might be uncovered to have a Bluetooth function that turns out to be just software disabled.
Most wifi chips have a BT controller built in. If not, then I guess it can be modded or added trough a tiny USB dongle.
If Sony can't do it, then we'll fix their mistakes ourselves!
jailbreak it, connect a 3 port hub to the charging port, add a bluetooth adapter and a flash drive with steamOS to boot from, suddenly it's acrually worth something
SONY : Hey kids , you want some fucking video games?
PEOPLE : Yay!!!
SONY : **Shits in a box and slides it over **
PEOPLE : YAY!!!!
I'm assuming quality would be the same as normal remote play which means you'd get the same exact result w/ a DualSense paired with your phone (so not the best).
They could've at least taken the opportunity to make it a low latency tethered connection like the Wii U Gamepad and provide a better experience, but no.
@@Joseph-ke3xc From what we've seen it needs a local Wi-Fi connection to work. It'll probably work better than how some devices handle streaming, but I can't see it being a largely better experience free of most of the issues streaming has.
Anyways at this point we'll just see how it actually is when it launches.
Look at features for the device. It features a technology called "link" that improves the latency issues that the remote play app/internet connection has. We'd still have to see actual testing be done on it.
@@VexAcer most the streaming issues are people with low internet speeds which is due to coming from some server in another state. on my local wifi it's over 1g. your internet speed has nothing to do with your local network speed. it only has to travel across the room and back.
@@sly2792004 Yeah I know. That doesn't mean there still aren't potential issues for interference, dropped packets, poor signal, etc. Not everyone is in the same room as their router for example.
Local streaming is a lot more stable, but still isn't free of issues. Especially if the client isn't very good in the first place.
PlayStation used to go hand in hand with Sony's multimedia formats. UMDs, Blu-Rays, Media Sticks etc. The PSP and by extension Vita, were an evolution to the Walkman, even though those still exist.
TL;DR, This device is pointless, and I miss when Sony made handhelds that were jam-packed with features. More importantly, their own standalone things.
Propietary memory for the Vita bruh
@@claudiobizama5603 PSVSD
Sony moving their HQ from Japan to California was the death knell. Adios innovation.
Californians couldnt innovate themselves out of a wet paper bag
I want whatever Sony was smoking when they designed and built this thing.
Same thing like in 2006
Someone in sony is getting “high” praises for this failure
It's kind of like an even worse Wii U gamepad. It's some how even bulkier
Insert comparison to the Wii U here
I actually think its more similar to the wiiU gamepad that anything else, that device main feature was to be able to play wiiu without the tv screen. Of course wii u ratius was very small while psportal is about the size of the wifi signal. There, thats the difference.
60Hz and 60fps are actually the same thing. Hz is cycles per second or "insert thing here" per second. It's just that Hz tends to be used for display refresh rate and fps tends to be used for graphics performance.
Not quite though. A screen at 60hz can display a 60fps and a 30fps signal but it cannot display a 120fps signal. It can receive the 120fps but the visual benefit won’t be there. They are not the same thing
@@crestofhonor2349literally what… if it says 60hz why would anyone with a brain expect 120 fps???? i really dont understand the logic here
The most pointless device ever, the only sense it makes to me is, when i take a dump maybe i feel like playing my ps when im letting lose.
Sony is a bit nostalgic with the old proprietary wire, software and files on sony tech in the late 90s and 2000s
I know I'll be picking one up! Then I'll put it in a safe deposit box, and wait 20 years. Then resell it for 20x profit with it being one of the rarest first party accessories because nobody else bought it.
It wouldnt be a complete playstation generation if there wasnt a few multi-hundred dollar gadgets that nobody would use
>You're not even Nintendo
Well damn, someone call the burn unit
I would love to see ps3 portable lol. There were some really good exclusives back then for it.
I wonder how many people are gonna refund this when they realize its an accessory to a $500 and not a dedicated console. If theres anything the wii u taught us, it's not gonna help sales if customers don't have a clear understanding of what you're selling.
the Vita had this things entire purpose as a single application/feature built in along with being a full handheld console with music/video features built in as well good to see technology going backwards again
This is gonna be a godsend for me. I can finally get more gaming in. My ps5 is on the main TV in the living room so now play when my wife has company or she is doing my daughter's hair
You can do the same with the Steam Deck for cheaper and with better game quality. Plus you can play games you have downloaded on the steam deck without having to be connected to the internet. The PS Portal is a scam.
Ah, finally. The Wii U U.
Sony 4U
Knowing cringy ass Sony marketing I wouldn't have been surprised it was named this, but I guess they went with the boring route
@@g1gabyt3BANE?!
I don’t get why everyone is so upset about this. Like just don’t buy it. A PSP2 would be a whole different development project. We barely have any PS5 games and you want to get upset there’s not another handheld device? No one is going to compete with switch, it’s a losing battle trying. With internet speeds getting faster (what seems like every other month) I don’t know why this would be considered a bad idea. Is it ideal? Depends on whose using it. Can we criticize the display choice? Sure. But to call it useless is just so bias. This will help a lot of busy people be able to game with more convenience, without being limited to an actual psp with 10 year old games or buying a modded vita. Leave it to gamers to cry about a new product that they won’t even buy though.
I want to acknowledge that choosing handheld over 4k tv is popular... That's not to say this device is good, but if I had a ps5, i would prefer to play it hand held.
But what this device can do is beside the point. Sony has said that the ps5 is their focus. They're building a kingdom of devices that you can use with your ps5. Sony normalising the idea of purchasing ps5 ad ons, VR, controllers, headphones. That's where they are heading. Everything is for the ps5. Retro playstation is for subscribers, streaming is for subscribers. They don't care what consumers want, they are making ps5 the only option.
Rather, this device doesn't need to be good. It just needs to exist for the playstation kingdom, and maybe down the line the sequel will be worth while
Its just right for me. I dont like remote play on my phone and as we know remote play is hit or miss from Remote play on our phones. So if it works and the connections can smooth out this will be nice to have.
Literally Sony made this just to use the excuse that “no, no one likes our portables so that’s why it didn’t sell well” absolute shitty product made by Sony. At least make it an android device with a ps5 interface
wtf haven't nVidia and Google proven that remote play doesn't work? Also can't you already do this over your phone, stream from the playstation? I'd rather they reboot the PSP and use it to compete with the Deck.
Sony already proved it. They tried remote play for PS3 & PS4 & Vita. No one cared. "Hey guys let's Remote Play LAIR for PS3!" - said nobody ever.
Honestly I can’t say I agree. I think the 5-20 people who will buy it will love it. And to be fair, I don’t see a problem with those 5-20 people being happy. Not sure this will see success, not a widely appealing product but I don’t have a problem with this very specific niche being serviced.
Mark my words. This will make the wii u look like a success.
It 100% makes sense that this is where console gaming would go, but I'm super sad that handheld consoles are now dead. Now Steam deck and this shit are technically handheld, but they aren't really their own console system, independent games wont exist for consoles anymore, they will just be connected to existing consoles or PC games. I think normal consoles will soon follow, first with disks than video game stores than will physical consoles themselves. You can already see the transition with this generation. I wonder if Sony or Microsoft will even see a need to bring their consoles to the next generation.
All the people going “just don’t buy it” really about to spend 200 dollars on a glorified phone/backbone combo with NO BLUETOOTH
I'm gonna be honest, I see the appeal of playing a console in bed which is why I liked the Wii U controller but that was over 10 years ago.
We can stream games on our phones now with an attachable controller, this is just literal e-waste in waiting
If they had made GTA San Andreas Stories for the VITA it would have sold soooo much more. I bought a PSP for the same reason back in the day for Liberty and Vice stories.
Who is actually gonna buy this when most people already have a switch or steam deck that does it better. Hell there is probably other devices also sony is a way to late. 😂😂😂
it's great to see someone dig up the corpse of the original NVIDIA shield (not the tv) again... hopefully it's another flop too.
I will say the Shield handheld was a GREAT little emulation box.
PlayStation is the new apple everyone simps over them and there products are useless overpriced and break easily
Bruh this is gonna be exactly like the connect and blow up PlayStation (not exactly blow up but definitely do damage)
I think it’s meant to confuse consumers who know nothing about video games too buy this accidentally instead of a switch. Especially with the holiday season coming up where switches notoriously are always sold out
If you own a PS5, you probably also have a tablet… just connect your controller to the tablet and play that way for free. You won’t have to hold a heavy tablet +controller combo, and your tablet probably has better battery life anyway, lol.
As someone would actually get this I dont get the hate that much. Sure its not the most athletically pleasing thing but being able to be in Italy for example and then playing the ps5 left in Nebraska is a godsend imo
Aesthetically Spike aesthetically! And when are you going to Italy I would like to accompany you
I thought this was fake when I first saw the picture. The fact that they wasted resources on this garbage, that this thing made it through all of the checks and balances required to leave the concept stage and make it to actual production is mind numbing.
I haven't finished the video YET, but I already want to say I WISH Microsoft/Xbox would make one that has Bluetooth, ability to connect to X-Cloud, and a few other features you were listing in the beginning. I like the idea of using my PC to do it, but in all honesty, I find myself never using the PC feature because my laptop is quite... Well, it takes up less room than this emerging handheld market. I just want one for my Xbox games because in practice I still play on my Xbox instead of my PC and streaming to my laptop is ok but would be better if I had a handheld. I don't want to spend money on a cheap Steam Deck when all I want is to stream from my Xbox. I'm jealous of Sony fans even with its shortcomings like no Bluetooth.
Edit: I say all of this because I have an iPhone AND even if iOS let me stream Xbox games to it, I want a designated device to help not encourage smartphone addiction while having a decent battery so my smartphone remains mostly/fully charged.
It's funny how you talk about the Steam Deck. I've been streaming my PS4 on the Steam Deck via Chiaki for over a year now.
Bruh all I wanted was a overpowered psp. Why can't Sony just do that one simple thing. Definitely going to have got get a steam deck or a gpd win 4.
I’m using remote play right now as I watch this video on UA-cam at the same time on my iPad using AirPods. AND I’m using cellular data because I can.
I just named 3 things the Pulse can’t do.
Remember, some suit got paid more than most people make in their lives to think of this thing. And even if fired, they'll get a golden parachute on the way out.
Can’t wait for all the youtubers in a decade making videos titled “PlayStation Portal in 2033: is it worth it?”
At least the WiiU Gamepad would also interact with games in a unique way. This is just a WiiU Gamepad with even less features.
You can already use loads of handheld devices to remote play PS4 and PS5, even a modded ps vita and steam deck can remote play it too
ps vita can already play PS4 I just mean having it modded you can also now play PS5 remote play too and if you have a jailbroken PS3 and modded ps vita you can even get a form of remote play too
“What was that dumbass idea that Google had? Yeah, that went well. Let’s do something like that”.
As a long time gamer and PC enthusiast, I kind of get it. PC as an open platform is very compatible, but the experience varies A LOT. Games are released without optimization because developers can blame your hardware instead their own bad optimized game code. You can use many headsets but most people get one with high input lag. And then you have a sea of people complaining about lag, and this starts discussions about what's good, what's bad, what's overpriced... and one can easily get tired and frustrated before even buy something. Or worse, they can buy a bad product with a good brand and reasonable price. The truth is that "console approved" stamps really makes sense, that's why people love the experience with Nintendo Switch. In the end, companies will take advantage and overprice their products, but as an adult that has limited time for gaming, it makes more sense to over pay for a consistent experience that works instead of tinkering all day with settings/products/forums. It "worth it", unfortunately, and they know this.
PS Portal design like that make me want to snap it very bad because the attach part controller with screen look easy to snap 😂😂😂
Their will never be a new Sony handheld. Sony main bread and butter are home consoles.
I bet this will sell so poorly, that if you buy a boxed one, never open it, and then give it to your grandkids it'll probably be the Gameboy keyboard of its day.
A moment of silence for the parents who buy this for their kids only to realize it doesn't function without a
PS5
I can't WAIT until jailbroken versions of these sell on ebay for a hundred twenty bucks
I just want a vita 2 with improved hardware and these time Sony actually get game developers to support it
The dumbest thing about proprietary headphones for this is that sony MAKES HEADPHONES, like tons of them. They are blocking their own headphones. 😂😂
your not Nintendo? no they aint and they are like apple name other Sony products like audio tv etc ... Sony are giants
Funny because pre-orders are allready limited to one for each household due to high demand, whoops.
the PS4 Mobile it very technically posible... but probably because of economies of scales the minimal number of sold units to break even it's way to high
I may be wrong but isn't this just like that Playstation TV thing but with a screen and controller? and didn't that flop?
"its not a vita 2000" well ackscualli there was already o- ok im gonna shut my mouth
misleading title its not a handheld just an accessory like a controller just with a screen and designed poorly
Sorry but sony is lazy now but for real sony love more money deal with it remote play is life sony your a bye.
So you need to be near your playstation, to play it on a small screen with tons of latency over wifi?
PlayStation portal? More like PlayStation monitor and controller 2 in one bundle
In all honesty, none of the modern consoles are getting better
They’re getting worse
I've had two dueal senses get drift. If it's the same sticks in that thing then potentially you can get drift and the entire device is basically useless.
Sounds like a product made because stockholder man asked "What crap can we sell to people to get more money?" instead of a designer asking "What can we make that people would want?"
Well, bluetooth audio really has stupid high latency. You shouldn't use it for any interactive stuff, most people get annoyed even when listening to movies over bluetooth audio. Professional wireless audio uses some sort of wifi (or specialized radio) exactly because of this.
Locking it down is stupid.
If I want the high latency, then give it as an option. Literally every other multimedia device gives you the option to do so.
Why.. would they *want* people to buy the 500 dollar console? Don't they lose money on hardware and make it back on software? Theoretically they'd make more money if people all paid cheaper and bought the same games right?
Oh wow it's like we have switch at home but worse
I mean I have a pc and a phone with a controller and steam has let me do this for years :Y
9:25 The switch to will likely be weaker than a base PS4
Also the steam deck is literally just as powerful as a base PS4 so if Sony did it then it would be a more bespoke and proprietary deck with a better CPU and proprietary software to target it
Sony company just doesn't care. Their handhelds
5:57 What is that, an led light? Yea thats really going to change everything 😂😂
I don’t much care for Playstation’s current line up. I’m not hating on the capabilities of the PS5 or exclusives (well, maybe the lack of): It’s the aesthetics. It all looks bulky, ugly and unergonomic. Who looked at these devices and were like, “Yeah, that looks fire, sell that shit 👍”?
Sony moved their HQ from Japan to California. Now they're boring and ugly.
