    I can’t really say I’m super excited.

    Back in the days, you bought a PSP, and you got a shitload of exclusive games, with an occasional fan-favorite port. It was incredible value, especially for a handheld. Today, unless you’re a Playstation gamer specifically, getting the console isn’t even worth it. Knowing Sony, they will introduce a proprietary storage format yet again too.

    Buying multiple licenses for the same game, across different platform is annoying as well. That’s one of the reasons why the Deck is so massively successful

      This wouldn’t be a steam deck competitor. At least less directly than it is a switch competitor. And Sony tends to do hardware well, they just don’t have the best pricing track record as of late.

    Remember when they made a handheld last year? You know the one that requires the ownership of a ps5? Imagine instead of making that they made this instead? No?

    Sony is dumb af.
