The bare minimum is still a standalone handheld, this is just a ps5 controller with a screen

I actually don't think they made this with Nintendo/standalone handsets in mind. I actually think they made this wanting to compete with Xbox Games Pass. The remote play anywhere aspect better goes against Xbox Games Pass ability to play on any Windows/Xbox device (including PCs/laptops). This device basically enables the same ability for PlayStation players. Especially this paired with the Games Catalogue (big library of hundreds of PS4 nad PS5 games you can add to your library at will long as you have a PlayStation+ subscription). I don't think they give a single care about the actual dedicated handheld market or they would have jumped back into it properly with a new standalone portable device years ago. I do think though depending on how well this device does, it might be the catalyst for them to do a proper standalone handheld in the future.

If the vita actually sold well then they would more than likely make an actual portable console. As it flopped pretty hard they don't want to spend all that development cost on another thing likely to flop, and with the handheld market even more saturated than when the vita came out with switch already being huge and steam deck along with all the other handheld PCs it makes even less sense

its only 199 and itll be on sale during black friday for 100 bucks probably

Swear, nothing unique about this. I could just use my phone and pair my ps5 controller if I want remote play smh 😂

The remote play device is missing one thing if it had back button on the controller I would’ve considered it mostly because I only play call of duty with a dual sense edge soo…. It’s a no for me

I'm buying this just because really

Same

Agree, Sony built a standout handheld with the vita, just misjudged the impact memory cards cost, and longer term developer support, own three myself, one a vita tv, and didn't do to bad a job with the psp it definitely was a hardware success.

Odds are it will be down the line. As I can see it being on the desk in front of me receiving messages

Funny enough they had this feature back on PS3 to PSP, games like GT you can use PSP screen as a rearview mirror then scrapped this feature later

That's funny it'd completely become a Wii U then. Which I'd love, the Wii U is one of my favorite consoles

I remember calling plays on the UMD for Dreamcast yet to experience that again.

Wii U...

Getting this for that specific reason! Totally stoked and can't wait till I get mines on Friday

Really, what's to cover? The Portal barely does anything. It is a one-trick pony.

i mean mkbhd covered everything important about this in a KZfaq short. What else do you need to know? 199 for a screen and controller. Basically this video is just sponsored content trying to sell you this overpriced excuse for a handheld.

@@AshSabrenot a handheld it’s a portable display/tablet with controller attachment

@@aizoku I already mentioned it's just a screen and controller. and i said it's a poor excuse for a handheld which what the uploader called it..

the price being 199 is rendered meaningless when you need a 500 dollar ps5 to use this lmao

I like that price, but I will probably buy it used on kijiji or fb marketplace or something because I can almost never justify buying brand new tech.

For what it is the price is still batshit crazy

Remote pksy with PS link.

Or just buy the backbone

Literally just use your phone lol or a steam deck that does more lol

Same... Gonna pre-order it soon.

I feel like this is for us dads that can’t always use the big tv but still want to game while in the house 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

Glad it’s useful to someone 😂

Until the wife gets annoyed that you play way too much

@@skoolboi_L she'll be okay lol

if you don't game you wouldn't even look at ps earplugs.

Pricing was meant to be a direct F You to the Nintendo Switch.

the earbuds probably dont even sound as good as airpods or galaxy buds honestly makes no sense why they wont allow bluetooth

@@natasrulesbro that’s my thing ain’t no way in the damn world these ps earbuds sound any better than my airpod pros no way in hell and I have a 15$ blue tooth adapter I can just connect any blue tooth earphone to it so why not use my AirPods ? I don’t use it anyway but I have a premium option if I ever decided. Now the portal controller screen thing seems cool I can walk around the living room and game and help the kids and my girl without being locked to the bed or the couch I can just rock out but not for no damn 200$ my iPhone remote play works good enough ! When it drops to 100$ I’ll buy it immediately

⁠@@natasrulesexclusivity is the reason. Sony wants 100% of the money in their hands

I'll be honest, I'm in the market for something like this. Because I can't always sit at my desk and play for too long, and I also like to play from bed or in a separate room. $200 is better than I thought it was going to be, but still a bit much for what it specifically is. The backbone is $99, but is only for the iphone, which isn't the biggest of deals. I wouldn't mind paying $150 for this whcih is $50 more than a backbone. Still not cheap by any means, but I think it would be the sweet spot for me personally. I think there will be plenty of people in situations similar to myself who is always on the move who will take a serious look at this. The $200 price tag will probably keep a lot of those people away, but fortunately black friday will be here in a few months.

for $200 its a steal for people who need it like myself

People pay 200 for a pro controller.

@@a8uella No one "NEEDS" this device lol

I can understand the market for this. I myself find this to be a very useful device in my scenarios but just like you said, the price being $200 is what is making me doubt whether I would actually buy it or not. If anything, I was actually more interested in the wireless earbuds with 3d audio since I hate over the ear headphones but seeing how those are marketed at $200 also, then I guess the PlayStation Portal isn't that bad when you take into perspective it being a decent remote play device. Actually, the more I think about it, the current backbone controller is $100, don't have all the dualsense features and is small and cramped which still requires your own phone to use as a screen....so yeah maybe $200 is "fairer" than what I give it credit for? IDK we will see if it makes sense once more people have it out in the wild.

looks like just pressing inwards on the 2 sides would snap the controllers off

I know down the line they will have cases for it

Probably exact same . I don't believe the it's more optimized thing for one min

Your ipad or phone has a better screen.

I would hope it’s better. You gotta figure that this is optimized for that. It’s like a console vs a PC: this isn’t running anything else in the background, no notification popups or phone calls interrupting the game. I’m hoping the dedicated connection means better latency and less variability in connection quality and stream fidelity.

I mean its like $500 cheaper ..

@@NinjAsylum yeah but most of us already have a phone in your pocket and can just buy a controller anywhere from 30 to 100 bucks to remote play .

but its not integrated so playing with a bluetooth controller adds input delay making those semi competitive games just no possible unless youre on the dedicated console. im kind of excited to see, if theres no delay (my internet is decent) then this is more than enough for me to purchase as this fits 90% of my use cases.

@@stephenwong8053bingo,

Assuming it’s no different than the mobile app. It varies obviously on connection. But on 5ghz wifi it’s not noticeable unless you’re playing a rhythm game or similar. I played most of Sekiro on remote play but had to switch to PS5 to fight specific story bosses that needed right reaction times even a little bit of input lag was getting me killed.

@@Otacon1105 Similar to my experience. It's ok for some casual play, but if precision is required it's a kind of a no go. No matter how good the connection will be, you just can't beat the physics.

Imho, the best way to use streaming is as a companion feature. You play the big story missions on your big tv and grind out side quests or play simpler games while streaming from your couch or bed or whatever. I think Sony understands this, and in this context this device makes sense. It probably won’t sell that much, but since it’s not a separate platform, it doesn’t have to.

It's always noticeable, even in the best wireless connection.

yooooo i even turned around and looked at my ps5 like wtf. i didnt even know it was the video that made the sound lol

It’s a 13 min video??? Chapters 😂😂😂💀💀

@Dev-uf2ss alot of established youtubers have their videos setup with segments in the video so I can see what he's saying.

it's really not in its own market. The logitech cloud was already a thing , The nvidia shield was a huge boon for Geforce now. Parsec ps4 remote play and steam remote play have been on phones and tablets for years. If you're talking about devices that only offer streaming then sure?! I

@@birdman4birdlegs yeah precisely, streaming only, and you are correct about the PS share tech being around for years, but it never had a really good use. It already is goodish mediocre, not phenomenal but usable. This device is the first device solely dedicated to exploiting PS remote play. PC, phones, tabs all have some form of stutter or priority issue with streaming with background processing. The portal has no background processing, 100% focused on steaming to your console to provide the cleanest and most stable experience for PS players to date. Yes it’s not a innovation by any means, they just finally found 1 way to put old technology to use and the streaming world is starting to show the desire for such products in the future to come. Streaming will never overtake conventional gaming but it is a potential route to explore and I think Sony isn’t wrong for tapping into an old well in my opinion.

Vita was able to stream games from the main console, one of the reasons why I bought it, but the problem with it was that the reduced controls did not match well, having the back touch area as trigger replacement did not work out due to the shoddy way it could recognize finger contact!

It's not portable

It's not portable outside though. You need to have a PS5 and for this device to work your PS5 must stay on and be connected to the PS portable and have a good WiFi connection which your PS5 is connected to, which will hinder the ability to use the Portable outside.

It has to be on the same network as your PS5, which is ridiculous. It also does not support Sony's own game streaming service. However, you can use a computer at work to remote play from either your PS5 or the Cloud.
