Hi. It’s me. I’m the one it’s for.

I have a den where my PlayStation is hooked up to the nice TV. I don’t necessarily always want to be down there to play games, for any number of reasons. Sometimes my wife wants to watch TV while I want to play a game, and this allows us to be in the same room and do that.

I’m in the same boat with my PC. Bought a steam deck for the same reason.

Yeah, why wouldn’t you spend $100 more and get a Switch or Steam Deck that can be played fully standalone, anywhere? This product is whack

Bought in heavy to the PS ecosystem already? Or just prefer it? Don’t want to pay the extra $100 or $200 (steam deck)? It’s not for me but I could see people doing it.

Just not many people.

This is really my biggest issue with the device.

Yes, there’s a desire to game away from the sofa, which is why Steam Deck and Nvidia or even a phone with the PS app are all available. I can’t see the need to buy something like when there are better alternatives available for cheaper or even for free.

Remote play runs on just about anything though, you could use a phone, chromecast, computer. I bought a $15 phone mount that hooks onto my PS5 controller and it’s essentially this device, but with the added benefit of using a device with more than one use.

I’m not single, and this product is shit, the PSP/Vita legacy deserved better.
