With the price being $200 you might as well spend 120 more to get a refurbished steam deck, install ps remote play on that then you have a handheld that can play ps, Xbox, and pc games on the go without an internet connection.
Better than the original thinking of $299 which would have been a non-starter for a device that doesn’t even have it’s own games…
But still, $200 for a device that does what I can already do on my phone/tablet/Steam Deck is too high. It’s like they don’t know who their customers are.
Bundle this + the ear buds for $200 and then you have something.
So it's aimed at people that already own a console attached to their TV, but want to play it as a handheld, and can't take it out of the house to keep playing?
But I thought the Wii U sold poorly. Why would they make another one?
So I could pay $200 for a 1080p streaming device, which I can do on my phone for free, instead of just buying another 1080p TV which I can use for general use? And it’s only in my own household, over wifi assuming the wifi isn’t congested?
You don’t have to use it “only in my own household”, just need a Wi-Fi connection (though it would probably be more laggy anywhere else). And not every phone supports PS5/DualSense – Android 12 is required for full support; mine is version 10 and isn’t getting any more updates.
