If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

Many of the functions of the device can be done on a phone or other android handheld. The only thing this has over that is the controller. If this was able to play some games from your PlayStation library locally, even at lower fidelity, then I could see the appeal.
