      The Wii U sold ten units, and at least they didn't sell the gamepad as a separate thing.

      This is just a DualSense with a screen on it that requires an internet connection.
      I could just buy a fucking Backbone and use the Remote Play app on my phone for what'd probably be a more comfortable experience anyway.

      They cant even make enough games for the ps5 let alone 2 simultaneous consoles. The closest you are getting is a PS5 portable which will be a steam deck but shit and with the same 2 game library, this is probably the first aborted attempt at that.

      With the scalability of modern games and the fact they’d never not need a 720p screen I fully stand by the fact that, as the Steam Deck and various other such handheld PC’s prove, Playstation could have made a PS5 portable for roughly the same price as a PS5 and sold enough to make a profit.

      But Jim Ryan clearly thinks along the same lines as Phil Spencer, that Nintendo’s strategy with the Switch and maintaining a decent stable of low end games in their first party library is the wrong approach, and thus this high end luxury Gamepad with cloud streaming was a better idea.

      There’s a reason Nintendo are doing great, the Steam Deck massively blew out expectations, and Xbox isn’t selling while Jimbo got the boot.

    It's actually impressive when you think about it. Could Sony have made a worse device at a worse time?

    The Deck was already out and just released a new version. On the cheaper end of the market there's Switch. On the high end theres Ally and Legion Go.
    Even if wanted a streaming only handheld there's Gcloud or Abxylute for the same price which will stream pc at a time when Sony is surrendering their exclusives to pc.
    It offers fucking nothing compared to the competion.

        Honestly I can understand the PS3 having less games, it faced a tough start and had unusually strong competition from Nintendo and Microsoft. Still, it ended up with a respectable game library. But then the PS4 was billed as a games-first machine designed to be easy for devs to work on. And it somehow ended up with less gaems than PS3.

          games took longer to make and costed more. I remember, FF12 has been on the news for having 40Million budget and constantly delayed(5 years development time 2001-2006) but compared those FF12 numbers to current AAA, FF12 looks reasonable.

      The best part about it is that since it sucks at streaming, even if you're right next to the console, the only value this device will have is if, like Vita, it can be jailbroken pretty quickly and run emulators or whatever. If it can't, or it's not powerful enough to actually run any emulators up to at least PS1 and N64, then everybody who buys it is just retarded. And even then it already loses to Chinese shit like a Retroid Pocket 2S that can run some Gamecube, 3DS and PS2.

                It isn't a software issue really, you can address it at the hardware level quite easily. It's just that every controller for some reason has different joystick impedance values that cause their output to be interpreted in a retarded way, so you either need something designed to that spec or figure out how to tame it with whatever components.

            If I remember right, for example, blops 3 was pretty tight as far as remote play goes, with l3 and r3 mapped to the back touchpad, making it actually useable.

As mentioned before it eventually came out that he was underaged, had no real-life friends, and was laughed off of Ganker (or Ganker? one of these boards didn't originally exist at the time of Quentin iirc) for coming in wide with his high-school's required reading.

      You could probably even use that other thing for the same purpose as a Portal, right? Didn't Sony release a remote play application for Windows and smartphones years ago?

      Maybe Sony has collected user data and found most users use handheld devices inside their home

        what does that have to do with gaming on a separate device? you can play games on those other devices as well as being a retard and streaming your games to them

          This can be played for around 5 hours and its weight is not bad. Could you find another better device than this?

    They fumbled the Vita and now they fumble this. If they are going to do this why even make the handheld?

    I think it would be better to use a phone with a OLED screen than this shit.

        You really think so? I see this one going the way of the Vita TV.

    People really getting their panties twisted about this thing lmao It’s a first party streaming device with a nicely sized screen and dualsense features for $200, it’s fine!
    It’s always so funny seeing how quick people are to call something shit when they aren’t the target demographic. Like just move on lol

      it will drift. it should have been a dualsense edge with a screen to replace the sticks easily.
