Who said anything about a PS5?
Streaming games is a bad experience in the best case scenario, and degrades rapidly from there. They could have very easily built an actual handheld capable of actually playing games, and chose to do this nonsense instead.
So, I have really good home networking. It's one of those things I obsessed around for two months before getting bored but I have that now.
Ps remote play works really well for me, it gives me an imperceptible amount of lag (susceptible enough to lag that I struggle to play emulated old consoles and need fpga versions) and it's visually nice enough especially on a tablet sized display.
They made this for people like me, obviously not people like you. Can they not make things for someone like me? Is that not allowed?
With literally perfect networking, it's still a significantly worse experience.
Making a device that's actually capable doesn't prevent it from also being able to stream games.
I am telling you, right now, that it is not. And that I have enjoyed my time with ps remote play already and I just want a nicer device to do that on.
Please don't respond to this by again saying "no, stop enjoying it you are wrong you hate it".
Please again answer why sony shouldn't make a device for me to play on?
My remote play experiences are fantastic as well. On my steam deck I had some issues at first but once I disabled the network optimization setting on the deck developer settings (which kept kicking me off of 5ghz) it was so much better. I even turned on my TV and remote played on the deck with Ghost of Tsushima with the TV feed also running. The about if latency was imperceptible.
I preordered the Portal as well. Having a larger screen and 1080p versus the 720p of the deck, plus a full dual sense is perfect for me. I have a kid and a wife that I share the TV with.
People who are calling this dumb are just frustrated that they aren't the target market, and therefore they think it's going to bomb. The truth is that these people are likely in the minority. Sony has done market research on this, and all my normie friends I mention this to think it's awesome. My bet is that this is going to sell incredibly well.
Other people who want a dedicated handheld also forget that even Nintendo themselves ditched their dual console idea (Wii and 3ds) in favor of a unified platform. Splitting development resources is a bad move.
