It was only outselling PS5 for a day when everyone was waiting for the sale.
But it's outselling Xbox for the month & year on Amazon
Mark my words Portal will be bigger threat to Xbox than PS5 it Self

Oh for sure, I was just making fun of Xbox.

Of course not. Lack of server maintenance was simply not the "big difference" between success and failure that you suggested it was.
Nah....you repeatedly dodging the point was the time waster here.

No. It remote play from a PS5 or cloud streaming using PS Plus Premium. It only is playable on its display and can not cast or output to a TV
Thanks. Was asking for a friend, he recently got rid of his xbox as he got a Samsung TV gamespass built in, so wondered if he could do similar by buying a portal…seemingly not. Does seem an unfortunate omission that it can't be used like the steam deck. V2 I suppose.

As it's a streaming only device, casting out to a TV would add additional latency that would likely make it unacceptable to use for many. It would be latency on top of latency.
A v2 or the handheld could maybe include an HDMI port. Casting wirelessly will no doubt have mixed results

I didn't dodge anything your whole argument was pointless.
You're acting like you don't understand why I said something that was simple to understand when you're clearly not dumb.

I understand the point I was making. Clearly you don't. Probably best to just leave it at that.

But the classic way of doing things is working for Sony and Nintendo. So why did MS have to go away from it?
Read the market wrong: it's like when tablets was taking over then Wii U happened & everyone thought it was over for consoles.

While it's true that PlayStation's 50 million consoles in homes provide a compelling network of potential "edge servers" for off-console gaming, Xbox's Azure advantage remains significant for several reasons: Azure's global infrastructure, scalability beyond hardware, consistency and maintenance, multi-Platform Integration, AI and Machine Learning Integration. Gaming isn't just about installed base but about creating an infrastructure that can scale and adapt to the evolving ways people play.

It makes you wonder why MS has ever been in the video game industry in the first place. And was it all a trojan horse for something else......because I can't understand how they read the market that wrong.
It was because of the threat that PlayStation was going to take over the living room & do most of the things people was buying PCs for.
Strangely while Xbox & PlayStation was fighting for the living room other companies like Apple , Amazon & Google took over the whole house & the outside. Now everyone is fighting for outside lol

We will read about it in a 2026 self-quote.

I'll try to explain to you a simply as I can. AGAIN
You realize you can stream ps now games to the portal? If you would actually know what you are talking about you would know its a 1-1 comparison, apple to apple , toddler to toddler
Living up to your name I see lol
Since you apparently don't know the meaning of the word 'Currently', I'd say you have FAR bigger real world problems than Xbox vs Portal.

It's just how I read it anyhow, maybe he meant something entirely different
No, that's exactly what I meant. It was a 2023 post and at that time there wasn't any PS Now streaming, though I had a suspicion it would come sometime down the line which is why I used 'currently'.

To be fair to both indeed it wasn't psnow compatible then but I felt like the psportal was announced like a few months ago when I realized this thread was already over a year old ...Damn, time seemed to have accelerated these past years...

I don't think you could back then.

I think that was his point of coming back after it changed
Hats off to Sony, it's been more successful than most people thought.
I think this could eventually push them to the front of the remote/cloud streaming line, despite all the bluster from Xbox.
Also, it shows how good an LCD display can be if you invest in it. Fingers crossed Nintendo does the right thing and puts in a very good display in the Switch 2.
It's going to be the optimal portable solution to play gta6 on the go (streaming gta6 from a ps5 pro at home), at least till it releases on Steam.
