Not to mention all the same utility can be had with say a small TV or computer monitor and like a HDMI switcher for a little over $100. Maybe less if you find a good deal. I had a Wii U. The gimmick of the controller screen got old fast and it sucked pretty hard overall. Not looking to retry that failed concept.

Even comparing it to the WiiU, at least some games took advantage of using both screens.

This is just the tablet as a single screen, with none of the utility.

Yup. That and, if a little more distance or wireless is needed, you can remote play to android/ios devices via PSPlay w/ dual sense and 3rd party controller support.

This is basically the non-techie or expensive taste version of the remote play experience as the WiiU screen added more functionality than mirroring.
