Don't get me wrong I'm sure it'll find a small market, it just could've had a bigger one with comparatively little effort and now the device it could've been will never exist. I had hopes for this as I'd expected it to stream from Now, but it just doesn't for no reason beyond "CBA" really.
The thing is they are only targeting that small market for PS5 gamers, they don't want to compete in the handheld market and possibly loose those customers who would be happy with just a ps5 remote play experience vs a better more expensive device. I get it, they don't have to have as many competitors and it makes it slightly cheaper versus the non dedicated competitors giving them a niche area to sell to.
