If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

      I don’t think we have even heard speculation, that will be the deciding factor. If they can get it VERY cheap, they might move some units for people who share their TV a lot.

      I think the Verge reported a leak from the Microsoft vs FTC heating at $299 which is outrageous for a streaming only device.
