Looks like reviews for the portal will be coming in the next few days. Some people are reportedly getting charged for it now prior to shipping.

My remote play experiences are fantastic as well. On my steam deck I had some issues at first but once I disabled the network optimization setting on the deck developer settings (which kept kicking me off of 5ghz) it was so much better. I even turned on my TV and remote played on the deck with Ghost of Tsushima with the TV feed also running. The about if latency was imperceptible.

I preordered the Portal as well. Having a larger screen and 1080p versus the 720p of the deck, plus a full dual sense is perfect for me. I have a kid and a wife that I share the TV with.

People who are calling this dumb are just frustrated that they aren't the target market, and therefore they think it's going to bomb. The truth is that these people are likely in the minority. Sony has done market research on this, and all my normie friends I mention this to think it's awesome. My bet is that this is going to sell incredibly well.

Other people who want a dedicated handheld also forget that even Nintendo themselves ditched their dual console idea (Wii and 3ds) in favor of a unified platform. Splitting development resources is a bad move.
