    My opinion is that Sony wanted to test the market again with this device. They see that the Steam Deck or Nintendo are doing good in this sector. They wanted to give the PSP another chance and developed this device, which is actually not that expensive at all, if you look at the performance. I am pretty sure we will be seeing another PSP anytime in the future. 😊

    I read an article from PlayStation Lifestyle today where Sony acknowledges that it’s strategy isn’t to make a profit but to increase playability for the PS5 for a specific demographic. The rhetoric was used and implied that there could be future updates for the device as well as potential for cloud gaming in the future. Since Sony seems focused on live service games and more gaming in general this seems like a logical strategy.

I’ve played Helldivers 2 and battlefield 2042 and had great performance with little to no issue. Single player games work great. Just strongly recommend a wired connection to your PS5 for the lan internet!

    From my experience it proved to be very situational for me. It liked certain rooms in the house where it was literally fantastic. Very easy to set up and I could play with no lag at all and a great experience. However it didn’t like others (my luck one being the bedroom where I really wanted it to work) where it became a laggy mess. On its way back unfortunately but if it works for your home set up or wherever you want to use it then it is a good experience. Router positioning I feel may well be key here.

    Cool product, but it doesn’t do anything that can’t be done already. For the last year or two I’ve been able to do everything that this can by syncing my PS5 controller to my iPad and using the PS Remote Play app. It has all the same functionality as this with a screen that’s nearly 4 times the size. Like Trev I have my PS5 up at my work desk, so I don’t like to sit at the same desk longer than I have to, so this is a good idea. But anybody who already has a tablet can already do this for free.
