It’s a Wii U gamepad that requires you to buy the console separately.

The PS Portal seems really, really niche. I guess it’s good for families with only one TV set, or for folks who really like to game in bed, but who knows. We’ll see how it sells, I guess.

- It's so big and bulky, how am I supposed to carry that thing anywhere, even traveling. The Switch fits in my pocket

  It’s not meant for traveling, is the thing. You can’t use if for cloud gaming. It has to be on the same wifi network as your PS5 to play games. It’s meant to be played in the same house/apartment as where your console is. That’s why this seems so very niche.

The Portal is a nice idea but I think it's destined to be a niche product with such limited functionality at $199. It's really weird they're not offering access to cloud gaming, feels like this should be a no-brainer, even if to boost the features offered by the product.

This is really weird. You can already remote play on a ton of devices including phones. You can get a phone controller for under $100 and it looks almost the same. Hell, PlayStation even has an official phone dock controller already.

Why does the screen look ultra wide? Aren't PS games made for 16:9 aspect ratio?
