    Expect without even having the functionality of Android. If it at least took an approach like the Nvidia shield so it could be a full on Android tablet or gaming or media machine it’d be cool. But, just a barebones streaming device is disappointing.

      Sony: you know how everyone loves these cool new portable consoles? Let’s do that, but they can’t leave their house, they can only use it to play their ps5, ohb and we’ll make it about half the price of the console… yeah, they’ll fucking love it!

        Bit baffling they’re doing this type of thing given they used to make stuff like the PSP and PS Vita.

        You’d think a PS Vita 2 would be the play.

          I loved the psvita, I used to play it basically anywhere because the battery lasts forever and it’s tiny. I can’t justify buying one of these new consoles simply because they’re so big! If Sony were to make a psvita 2 with a similar footprint and battery life I’d be first in line.

            im the opposite. i hated how thin the vita was and how small the buttons were. thats why i love the steam deck, its a lot more comfortable for me to hold.

          I truly do not understand their thinking process here.

          I feel like somebody made a wish for Sony to get back in the handheld market, and when they did, a finger on a monkey’s paw curled up.
