Sony has officially unveiled the PlayStation Portal, and as a cloud-exclusive Remote Play handheld device, it’s obviously got a few caveats attached. The fact that it can’t play native games – or any native media – is, of course, one of them, while it’s also been confirmed that even the cloud library of PlayStation Plus Premium won’t be supported.
In addition, it’s also been confirmed that the PlayStation Portal won’t have Bluetooth. As reported by The Verge, that means users won’t be able to pair the PS5’s Pulse 3D wireless headset with the handheld device. The newly-revealed Pulse Elite headset and Pulse Explorer earbuds will be supported, but you’ll have to connect them using Remote Play. If you want to use them on a PS5, you’ll have to do so via a USB adapter.
This must cost almost nothing for them to produce. This thing is gonna fail hard. Only way they can make anything off of this is with a big profit margin.
I imagine it's pretty cheap to produce with the biggest costs going to the controller and LCD screen since it's literally a dumb terminal with no Bluetooth or streaming service capability.
Really a pointless piece of silicon if you ask me.
