Does the fact that this potentially runs android change the calculus for anyone on whether you will purchase it or not?
I am suddenly more intrigued.
I have already messed around with similar experiences. An Amazon fire tablet with various controllers streaming from my PC or PS4. A Powkiddy RGB10MAX running android. The Steam Deck.
The Deck is by far the best experience, but the screen is only 720p. The Deck is great analog sticks, and I love the touch pads. The back buttons are neat. But I prefer the Dualsense for the d-pad, face buttons, and shoulder buttons. Not that the Deck is bad, just that the Dualsense is better.
If the Q could only stream PS5 that would be way too limiting for me, probably <2% of my gaming library. But if it can have steam Link that opens up almost everything else.
For me personally, I've found that with most streaming setups the network and latency are not a problem. The problems are combinations of screen quality, battery, control comfort, etc. The G-Cloud would have been great if it were cheaper. I think the Q could be basically a better version of that if the price is right.
If this is a full android tablet with a dual sense attached, it will suddenly be way more enticing for me. For all the reasons you stated. And I have a steam deck but I agree about the screen and controller.
That depends on the chip vs price tag.
Honestly has absolutely no baring on my opinion or whether I’d buy it not. That still hinges on price and streaming abilities.
For me, the Android part matters less than how locked down the distro is. I love PlayStation’s controllers so it might be worth it as a streaming-only PS5 accessory. But there’s no way I’d spend $300 on a heavily restricted, Sony-store-only Android that does nothing but stream Sony-distributed software.
Basically, if it’s just a PlayStation WiiU, that needs to be very cheap. Like, impulse buy cheap.
I agree. Sub $200 and I'll begin to consider based on features. $300, is a no go I feel
