What's the point in this thing if it's not an actual handheld console? What does it do that a playstation controller + smartphone/tablet can't do?
Yeah I didn't understand why I'd do this instead of just using my PC with a controller. Wifi streaming sucks, I'm not paying $200 for it
Way better control experience, almost 2x the screen space, separate battery, and like a 5th the cost of a flagship smartphone.
Not for everyone, but still neat. This product makes me wonder if theh have other things in the works. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something 3 years from now that releases where we say "this is like if the Portal was good".
Not drain my cell battery or get interrupted from a call or text, have a much bigger screen than a phone, save you from trying to balance a tablet around on a bed or chair or recliner.....
Those are incredibly small problems that are easily solved without having to spend $200
