IDK, half the price? better battery life? PS5 exclusives? Just throwing possible reasons out there.At the price point you can expect this to debut at (at least $200, likely higher), Why would anyone buy this over a Steam Deck?
I’m certain they’re trying to meet a certain price point. Hopefully less than $200.LCD is unacceptable. Needs to be Oled.
Calm down! They are giving us Spider-Man 2 this year, at some point!This is what the showcase will be about.
PC ports Announcements & This....
Seems to be par for course with Sony at the moment.
Throwing expensive accessories & hardware at us while actual game development for the past 3 years is dedicated to PC ports.
"Look! PC ports!
What about PS5 owners you say?
Well...umm we got no new games to announce but we haven't forgot you, how about this new expensive useless PS5 accessory to fund those ports!"
It’s not a separate system they need to deliberately support like the PSVR or Vita. It’s just an extension of the PS5. Supporting the PS5, in turn, supports the device.Will they actually support it this time?
Exactly. If this is streaming only it could potentially be very cheap and a huge success. Couple cheap Android hardware pieces from China and a Sony logo slapped onto them, done. Only 499 ,- because why not we're Sony.would work if this priced at 99 dollar, but we know its Sony so probably DOA
Not a fan of remote play device. I wanted an offline device that can play all your ps4 or ps5 games digitally. Kinda like on the go. Screen I’m ok with 720p because it’s small screen
Yes, it makes a lot of sense. I very much doubt Sony expects it to sell gangbusters. But as another additive experience.It’s not a separate system they need to deliberately support like the PSVR or Vita. It’s just an extension of the PS5. Supporting the PS5, in turn, supports the device.
The report says that the device must be connected to the internet at all times and requires a PS5 to be able to play. If you were able to actually install games on the Q Lite itself, they'd be no need for it to require a PS5 to work.Is this confirmed somewhere? I only see mixed reports.
I find it hard to believe that a device with an 8 inch screen attached to Dualsense-esque shell has no new OS and is just a Remote Play accessory.
Might have to define what the series z is.Why were people so okay with an Xbox Series Z, but not this?

Becasue at this point splitting resources between different ecosystems is not the best idea. Games are too expensive and take too long to make.Why not make something in between the Switch and Steam Deck power wise. Small form factor, dock, OLED screen, 5 hour battery and PS5 remote play. Buy 4 or 5 dedicated handheld studios (teams like Supergiant Games). Sit back and sell 20m units in Japan alone and cream in the MTX profit from games like Genshin and Fortnite?
For that price I'll take 3, keep one in the box for any eventuality in a few years' timeSo a $700 device?
If the handheld can run or compatible with Ps1/PS2/PS3 games and this'll print money, otherwise will collect dust 2-3 years after release.
Stop trying to make Remote play or cloud gaming a thing.
I’m ok with it. Most prices are high already. If the specs are good let’s do it.So a $700 device?

The reason is that Sony want people to have to buy a PS5 to be able to use it.If this device is real, I think you can use it for both local ps5 streaming and cloud streaming. There is no reason why Sony would implement only 1 of those options since they’re technically the same except for where the server is located.

Last PS5 accessory was $650, I think.Basically this and hopefully it's priced like a decent accessory
No idea. I think this is great, but only if you only have a PS5. If you plan to remote play/stream any other platform, you should just get a backbone or something like the Logitech device. I’m really thinking of getting the Logitech, with how much I remote play. I’m just worried about the connection, as I would have to use my phone as a hotspot when at work, instead of just using my phone with a backbone like device.Why were people so okay with an Xbox Series Z, but not this?
Me being a PS fan you think I don't have thoughts on Xbox productivity.So, PS has no games.
Man, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whole Xbox thing which has been going on for more than 2 years (with many projects still being literally vaporware)
You don’t see the difference between a streaming stick for big screen gaming and this rumor?
I’m also not sure many people expected a streaming stick to be a mass market success vs just buying a Series S.
I use my PS5 remote play all the time. It's pretty sick.
You can hate on it all you want, but it's the future. Might be a ways off (maybe 10-20 years), but in the future there won't be hardware.
Jesus, they manged to make it even worse than a cloud-based device. How does Sony fail at handhelds this badly this consistently?

I will never understand you loonies championing for less consumer rights by acting like it is the future. You are what is wrong with this industry.
Ok grandpa.I will never understand you loonies championing for less consumer rights by acting like it is the future. You are what is wrong with this industry.
I have mixed feelings myself, but it's more just seeing the writing don't the wall. No use complaining about an inevitability.I will never understand you loonies championing for less consumer rights by acting like it is the future. You are what is wrong with this industry.
Not directed at me, but I use it to play my games on my work breaks. I don’t get to game as much as I’d like at home. Or if I’m playing something like MLB The Show, I can easily play that while my wife and I have garbage tv on, like 90 Day Fiancé, Love is Blind or Married at First Sight.Why do you use PS5 remote play? I'm curious how people in the real world are using it nowadays.
OOOOHHHH my friend, there were plenty lol. The idea was that the streaming stick would be $50 or even free if you bought 2 years worth of GamePass and that could be a way to get people into GP subs.
Form factor does matter. It’s been over 20 years since a home console has sold over 11m units in Japan. Meanwhile, the only portable console to sell less than 20m units was the PS Vita.Becasue at this point splitting resources between different ecosystems is not the best idea. Games are too expensive and take too long to make.
Sony's problem in Japan is a software one not a hardware one. If they are going to buy studios and ask them to make games appealing to Japan, then the best thing to do would be to put those games on PS5.
It's just playing PS5 games via remote play.Will they actually support it this time?
They are literally wanting less consumer rights. I've had many "GAF fights" about the cloud being our only future. And there's a sad percentage of them that actually want it this way, and do NOT want there to be a choice (like we have today).
I sometimes wonder if they are industry plants.
