Can the Portal really be called decent quality if it's on a short tether and is beat for quality by nerds on the internet who made Chiaki?

To me it felt like the Portal was a limited-usage first-party cash grab, and as a Wii U owner that's saying something (the extra screen was honestly not worth the space it took up, the money and materials would have been better spent elsewhere).

Most of my experiences with my first-party PlayStation related hardware and software has been mediocre at best, and that includes the operating system on something like the PS4.

Perhaps I am just jaded after my collective Sony experienced, but I think that Sony could have created an actually decent product, but instead they saw a nice handheld gaming device and wanted to try to muscle their way into the market without putting in the effort or money to make it even as good as the Wii U controller.

I think you're just not the target market. If you're not somebody who has the luxury to keep up on whatever the nerds on the internet are making, you're probably happy to have a first party product to buy. Honestly part of the appeal of products like this is just the luxury to not have to research the thing to figure out if you can make it do what you want

that's clearly not something you care about, and that's fine...
