Wow how avant garde are Nintendo that Sony is essentially copying their idea a decade later? And an idea that bombed hard too!
"You wanna know what has real broad appeal? A portable PlayStation that can natively play PS1, PS2, and PS4 games on the go AND Remote Play & cloud stream PS5 games."
You may well be describing the Nintendo Super Switch (minus the Sony games and the PS5 horsepower )
Icing on the cake will be when modders eventually get PS1 & PS2 emulators running on it. If they hack it to Remote Play with PS5 on top of that, well...lol.
Absolute rip-off.
Hope nobody buys this trash.
Well that's just it: lots of people will buy it, which is why I guess they're making it.
But IMO it's such a wasted opportunity for a genuine PS4 Portable, even if that would've costed 2x the price. Value proposition of native PS4/PS2/PS1 (maybe also PSP & some Vita) games on the go & Remote Play for PS5 games (& cloud streaming too) would've been great arguments towards the additional cost on production and MSRP.
Would've also been something to really galvanize PS software sales in places like Japan, too. Cross-gen PS4/PS4 releases would ensure new game releases for a while 100% compatible on a PS4 Portable, too (or getting PS4 ports of certain 3P Switch games that don't have PS4 versions, particularly in Japan, since there'd now be a new PS portable that could run those games and with better visual & framerate settings).
