I'm confuse. Feel free to correct me but, can we call this a console? Isn't this just a glorify wi-fi monitor with commands who need the ps5 to do everything?

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, definitely a peripheral and not a console.

Gotta ride that Switch train somehow

[–] echo64 2 points 1 year ago

the part that makes it more blurry is that cloud gaming is gonna be more of a thing, and this is basically that. is a switch playing resident evil village not a console? it's just streaming the game after all.

right now I think we all agree this is just an accessory, but it's a weird time

I wonder if there are people who are buying this because they think it's an actual handheld console.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 4 points 1 year ago

It's definitely a non-zero number

Does the AI writer not know about PS Vita and PS Portable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This article says that this device is sooooo great, but yet they never showed the specs on it. The only info I got from this is that it has an 8inch screen

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 2 points 1 year ago

yeah, they are being tight lipped on it. Going to have to wait for reviews and breakdowns

[–] IamAnonymous 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How many units before they were “sold out”? Is there a number? Maybe Sony estimated 1 million preorders but 2 million preordered, just for an example. Also, how can you be “sold out” for preorders. Just give them a later shipping date.

All this “sold out” is just for marketing. I could build only 10 and be sold out.

@IamAnonymous @CosmicSploogeDrizzle was bummed the Portal sold out on Amazon US, but they still have some on Amazon UK. Shipping was too bad to Australia!

[–] IamAnonymous 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s available directly from USA PlayStation website.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@IamAnonymous I don’t believe they ship to Aus :( :(

[–] thatsage 2 points 1 year ago

Struggling to see the use case for this still. Outside of households with 1 TV maybe?

Or maybe a lot of people are actually using remote play on their phones and Sony knows there's demand for this with a better device...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was hoping this would be an updated port of Portal, but I guess not.
