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!

    I’m not sure who this device is for. It is very limited to PS5 owners or those wanting to use Sony’s cloud streaming, which is behind Microsoft right now. It will have to be cheap for it to be worth it compared to just getting a controller mount or an attachable controller for your phone. Your phone will have the same ability to stream to it, on top of having the general increased usability of a phone.

      I’d argue it’s for most PS5 owners. PSP/PSVita were not popular as standalone systems (as much as I loved them). With the arrival of steam decks and the switch, mobile/streaming gaming is getting closer to a console experience. Project Q seems to fill that void for Sony pretty well.
