    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?

      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.

    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.

    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…

    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

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