Just in time for Christmas presents

If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

      personally, i can see the appeal of the device as someone who frequently shares a tv with others, but sony’s decision to limit its capabilities to streaming only places it squarely in a “niche product” category.

      And because it’s a Sony product there is no chance they will allow people to find a way for it to run apps on its own. This device is going to be permanently handicapped compared to other handhelds.
