Sony Announces the US$200 PlayStation Portal Handheld Gaming Device

that astro character looks really uninspired and dumb, and a little too unisex for my liking. assuming they want to attract people in some way with cute graphics and loveable characters, this aint it.

Well, it's NOT "unisex".... it's "he/she/they/them/us but-can't-decide-what-I-wannabe" compliant, which is the market segment they're trying to appeal to, like almost everything nowadayz....hehehe

That astro character looks exactly the same it has looked for almost a decade since it was introduced, take that bullshit somewhere else.

So this portable device DOESN'T render anything natively, right? It just receives a stream from the user's PS5? So it can only be used while connected to the same network as the user's PS5? Meaning that you can only use it around your house?

Yep. Sony is the stormtrooper of new product development. Can't hit the broadside of anything even if it's right in front of their face. This is what happens when you retire all your smart people and hire idiots. Samsung takes over the world and you can't create a handheld to compete with Switch or Steam Deck regardless how clear it is that it will sell.

Don't like what they are flogging stop buying it, if enough people did that they would carm the BS down. Lets face it SONY these days don't do any thing that others don't do.

Don't like what they are flogging stop buying it, if enough people did that they would calm the BS down. Lets face it SONY these days don't do any thing that others don't do.

Those with the will to do so are, sadly, outnumbered by the uncaring hordes.

I can't understand Sony sometimes. They have successful Headphones and earbuds lines, but they have to make specific separate products instead. Couldn't they just release PS colors variants for their existing products?

Your point being? How is the fact the character has existed as you say for almost a decade have any bearing on what i said? My opinion is just that, mine, and you can take yours,(bullshit) elsewhere, idk maybe put it up your butt?

Yeah and if people got what they need and not just what they wanted.

no OLED = you no get my money

You weren't going to buy it anyways...

My goodness this is for the very very niche market. This is not a Vita or anything of the sort. It's merely for folks in a dorm room or those living in a studio apartment and there is one TV. That way this person can play their PS5 games on a screen while someone else uses the TV to what The Boys or Yellowstone or something else.

I'm guessing there will be a huge warning on the box requires a ps5 to function.

The listings on eBay should prove to be quite colorful now that you mention it

This could be very worth it for a kid and/or parents.
EG console is in the living room, but TV is being used by someone else etc.



The Poop Deck?

Essentially yes.

I dont see a market for it, but what so I know compared to the Sony gods.
