Sony Made The Worst Playstation Product Ever... 

Ok

No thanks

Yes king!

You try not to complain about every product release for no reason challenge

Nether portal, meet the play station portal

That's corporate hack media for you.

Wait really? That's fucking crazy lol Edit: Yes it's true

@@JH-nb6nw I just don’t get them dude 😅

I don’t think it’s much of a secret these days that IGN is in Sony’s pocket

@@brandonbennett638no shit. They gave Spider-Man 2, the most overrated ps title in a while, an 8/10. And gave LOU2, the most divisive and controversial game in recent memory, a 10/10. And have now given this joke of a product a higher score than the Steam Deck… Can’t spell ignorant without IGN.

Even the Wii U had some legitimately good uses and didn't require wifi

I mean, PSmove was a thing.

Wii U was better than that shit that's for sure

Tbh the wii u was decent the marketing is what demise the wii u not it creation

Whats wrong about the wii u? I mean, its not extremely popular today but i know it was fun for a lot of people and children. Tbf i wasnt part of the people who got their hands on it.

And most of the posts that trashing on the idea have those type of comments as well

And pony fans will find some way to defend this crap...

@@NetBattlerthey already have. Hive mentality at its finest

Seeing as how I've had made ps5 since launch, use it every day, and still have no stick drift, you guys must be just throwing your controllers or something.

I love how stick drift has become such a fucking meme ever since the Switch launched 25 years in gaming, never happened to me FYI no game controller functions well when it's coated in Cheeto dust, don't blame stick drift for your own lack of cleanliness

That's gonna be wild. I have my third controller in two years. My controllers are always kept in mint condition and I'm changing between one and another when one is charging. The red one is okay since two years. The white one keeps on breaking/getting stickdrift.

should be class action lawsuit on these drift issues. I hate it!

I remember downloading skins and themes for the PSP Home Screen on the console itself from the native web browser, shit was awesome.

You know it dumb wen the psp that was released in the early 2000 had more features than this

Boys watch corn with their psp

Not at launch but yeah. PSP was ahead of its time.

​@@Micchi-*legends watched corn on their PSPs.

I’ve been meaning to give Chiaki a go, with the PS5 remote play. May actually set that up this weekend!

The fact that the WiiU did this perfectly in 2011 really saying something is wrong within Sony Playstation now

A switch and a steamdeck are dedicated handheld. A portal is not. Its a ps5 accessory. The portal was designed to only remote play from a ps5 and it does that a lot better than any other device on the market.

I think that point is voided, when. 3rd world Hellholes have smart phones, and they throw them into the ocean when they stop working. Doubt this waste of $ made even a ripple in the grand scheme of it all.

Just because you don't understand the product doesn't mean it's e-waste. This is exactly what working adults like myself needed.

​@@mmstickPlayStation Portal is the definition of e-waste

All they had to do was use SD cards like the 3DS, but no, they wanted to be greedy.

​@@TomoEriGotothen not properly develop games on, focus completely on the ps4, and complain that no one is buying it

They even close the PSP shop store, then open I again, to their surprize people are still making games for the system

@@TomoEriGoto Sony always thinks they're literal gods. Hence the PS3 being $600 sold at a *_loss_* by a few hundred bucks. After PS2's success, they thought they could do no wrong. Then PS3 had the midlife crisis refresh in 2009 with the soft relaunch, logo update, packaging update, and so many new games that it sold more systems than Xbox 360 and caught up despite losing. Then when the Vita came out (2011) they were full of themselves again. Doesn't help that the PS4 sold 117 million units and crushed Xbox One. Sony will never ever be grounded in reality ever again.

It was the duck's guts. The memory cards were a part of the problem, but it mostly boiled down to a lack of support from major studios. Basically all its notable games came out within a year of launch, and that was it. Sony decided it was more profitable to put all their eggs into the PS4 basket, than to split development resources to save a faltering platform. After they pulled out, everyone else quickly followed suit. The indies and obscure JRPGs that came out afterwards weren't enough to give it any more than niche appeal.

how are you supposed to use this in a hotel, unless you're dragging your PS5 around everywhere you travel?

​@@DrivingGod21It streams your ps5 via remote play. You could easily use it at a hotel if the wifi there was good enough.

Explain how a $400-1,200 phone with a Kishi controller for $40-150 is better than a $200 complete device? Or a phone plus a $60 dualsense and then a phone holder. Yes, the PHONE does other things. The dualsense could connect to a PC (ignore that because we're talking about PS5) but Kishi are limited to only playing on the phone and those go up to $150. What's $50 more for the 1st party complete package? Again, we're talking about normies here who don't want to waste time looking up how to use their phone to stream from PS5.

Adaptive triggers ain't worth wasting $200 when I can just use the Switch. It's more expensive but at least I don't need Internet to play most games with it.

​​@@user-vg6qv5jv3wMost people have phones nowadays, and any children that don't can use their parents' Sure, they tend to be more expensive, but if everyone has easy access to such, then it doesn't really matter, imo As for the controller, there are cheaper alternatives if someone doesn't want to (or can't) spend that much, so-

So you want it to be cheaper than a Dualsense controller? It's basically a Dualsense controller integrated into a low-mid tier phone, crappy product or not I'm not sure why people expect it to be cheaper.

That'll never happen because the controller alone is $80 worth of hardware.

@@BriBCG The DualSense was $70 when it released 3 years ago.

@@ninjalemurdudeMuta's price was in CAD, it was reasonable to assume you also meant CAD since you didn't specify. 95CAD.

@@BriBCG Oh, yeah, I get what y'all are saying now.

Dude fr tv/monitor prices are almost ridiculously low rn, you can but a decent sized TV for less than this 😂

A 40 inch 4K Android TV and a DS4 can be bought for the same price, sideload the PS apps to the TV, connect DS4 to the inbuilt BT on the TV. Now you can play your PS in another room, stream games from PS+, use a BT headset for voice chat. Or a 5G tablet will work in some locations to do this on the go. The Portal is destined to flop, unless Sony unlock it's full potential with a firmware update, even then it'll still be overpriced trash.

I still have the the tv, preordered back when it came with two games, two sets of the rechargeable glasses and... ugh, wouldn't recommend I don't think I've ever tried out the whole gimmick of using the glasses with the effect wehre it turns splitscreen into like, the whole screen but, yeah

Exactly the value proposition makes no sense. You can get a 4K TV for less money. Plus anyone with a PS5 probably has a phone or tablet already. This is a weird half-baked execution just like the PS1 classic - until they were easily jail broken 😂

What they should have done is make the portal it's own system.

Mostly... Great for platformers and rhythm games, loll

I love my PSPgo and play DBZ sometimes.

Pony fans hate pony? I'm shaking right now 😮

My PSP has a browser so... Sony is behind themselves.

Even switch lite can watch RU-vid on it....

They have also now officially ruined the name of one of my favourite Valve games 😑

So many people are so negatives for no reason, I for sure am not gonna buy it, and neither are you, but there is probably hundreds of thousands if not millions who literally have been waiting years for something like this. If it doesn't cater to YOU, it caters to them. The portal being completely sold out pre-order wise upon launch further validates my point

@@imac5834 The stupid part of all this is that it's a poorer solution to a problem already solved by Chiaki. It'd be one thing if the Portal blew all other implementations out of the water, but they can't even send a reliable video signal to it. That's on top of it being the epitome of vendor lock-in. Initial sales mean nothing. The AMD Bulldozer chips sold like hot cakes on day one too, but they were an abysmal failure in the long run, once consumers started seeing them for what they were, as will be this abomination. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony get sued in a class action by all the disappointed children who had their Christmas day ruined, and separately by their parents who got roped into buying a PS5 the next day. I don't see this ending well for Sony.

​​@@theunknown7441Don't know what it was like during it's era but right now psvita is an amazing emulator. You can emulate all consoles before 3DS on it. Ofc phones are still the best handheld emulators.

For me the PSP was the Switch before the Switch. The fact that I can play games like Midnight Club 3 Dub City that was also available on the PS2 was mindblowing to me.

One of the many ways to hack a Vita was through the web browser. I can see why its not included

​@@pikkyuukyuun4741 Just dont let them exploit it, or charging them with shitty pricing

@@pikkyuukyuun4741 "One" of the many ways. That one way doesn't justify locking the browser off

They got rid of the web browser cause apparently there were people on the Hub on their Playstation 😂

​@@soraxstacy1477 Didn't hack mine as I was a little kid back then. But even then, the vanilla experience was still excellent. I don't know why Sony is so stubborn about wanting to make proper handhelds again. :/

​@@EdwardPHandsBasedManchildVita had the potential tbh but sony fudged it up so much, now Sony is too scared to even try a standalone handheld platform

Best part is that some games actually interact with the console games. SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 on PSP affects the gameplay outcomes of SOCOM 3 on PS2.

@@EdwardPHandsBasedManchild My middleschool friend had a brother that would install homebrew programs for $20, was one lucky kid back then

I can just imagine Bloodborne being played on that as someone physically walks through a creepy environment that looks just like the game.

Your basically talking about a laptop. Lol

Steam Deck already has more processing power than the PS4 ever did, both in terms of CPU and GPU. More expensive handhelds with better APUs are close to PS4 Pro level performance. Sony could definitely make a portable PS4 if they wanted to, and could likely do so at a $350 asking price if they made the right cutbacks and got the right deals going.

You mean like the steamdeck? There's handhelds even more powerful than the deck like the Ally and legion GO. In fact, they don't even have to make something as powerful as the deck. Just get an APU at the power of the PS3 for around 200 bucks with an OLED screen and sell PS2/PS3 games on it. That'll sell like hotcakes.

bro unless you're a kid if you're on the go you're usually doing errands, something fun, and other attention requiring things if you outside you need to be living real life

looks like that Sony check must have cleared lol

Judging by your statement, you definitely don't own one. It has all the haptic feedback of DS5. That along with the comfort of an actual controller makes it the best streaming option money can buy. The only downside is that you have to buy Sony's expensive ass Bluetooth earphones instead of using your own.

It’d be kinda cool if you couldn’t already Remote Play for free from your existing Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone. $200 for a featureless tablet sandwiched between a standard Dualsense is CRAZY. There are tablets on the market with more features that sell for $50. The Portal doesn’t even have Bluetooth ffs 😂

@@Reginald_Harrisondon’t give them ideas

i think it all comes down to latency. if the latency is lower than using your phone.....than I can see the appeal

@@Iseevacantstop being delusional

The Ps5 itself don't have a browser. They avoided so you can't use gamepass on it, via browser.

The portal has a browser to display legal stuff, obviously it's heavily restricted but I wonder if a crack could use that

I think it's because the device doesn't have storage.

@@musicvideoenhancer ps5 dose have a hidden browser games can open it to show u guides manuals and patch notes and u can put a link in a groupchat and open it like using google to go anywhere u want lol

"Blues my mind." MY EXACT FEELINGS, thank you! My brain bluescreened when I saw this dumpster fire. All I wanted was a modernized PSP. 😔

At least we still have several great options in the handheld gaming space. Sony just completely lost their mojo.

@@t.c.b4722 yea I have a steam deck. It's the best gaming system I've ever owned.

I'm convinced that the Playstation Portal was originally intended to be a streaming portal for PSNow - following on the heels of Microsoft's developments in cloud gaming. It even looks like early mock-ups and prototypes of Microsoft's own handheld streaming devices. Thing is, Microsoft gave up on the idea of a dedicated device for streaming and instead released a cell phone controller cradle. It's like Sony tried to follow in their footsteps, came to the same realizations that it was impractical, but unlike Microsoft - either had supply contracts already in place or didn't want to pay for backing out of them - so they just neutered it, gave it a slight redesign, and then offloaded it onto their gullible fanboys in an attempt to recoup costs.

@Sinuev1 such a mistake. They could be a top competitor in the handheld gaming market if they just put out a psp/ps vita 2.0

Wdym broken controllers? I have it and it’s just a duel sense and works just like a duel sense.

​@@willbyrn5920Brother it looks like they broke a controller in half and glued each of the ends to the sides of a tablet.

​@@willbyrn592011:38

Yeah, given how powerful the console APU is right now, it's should be completely possible that they could make at least 1 real portabel console For example, AMD Z1 Extreme can play God of War at full HD low settings and still get playable 30fps, and that game is a PS5 game ported straight into PC

PSP "mini"? You mean PSP Go?

My OLED just shipped and I'm pumped!

Sad that we're all so busy and these companies are nickel and diming us to a point where all we do is work while all they do is put out bullshit that's half baked because they only want money. Why not keep PS+ the same price it was before the increase and not make this shit instead?

@@OhSoTiredMan What do you mean by care? Those companies havent changed exactly. Remember when playstation used to have free online until they saw that xbox was making people pay for online?

​@@froglifes6829I hate Microsoft for that. But they were an exception Games industry in general was still way different back then. as the main business model was just selling a finished game, and letting the devs make good games and not casinos

@@Casxa tearaway is fuckin great.

Try ragnarok odyssey bro its so good

​@@Casxathe uncharted game on it was really good and there also is a killzone

Also the portal is in constant battle with your normal controllers to be controller #1. Had an issue where I literally had to turn off all controllers for my portal to send information to the game what profile is signed in. My portal can be player 1 signed into primary profile but if you have another controller turned on as controller #2 the game will default to the actual controllers profile even tho its controller #2 the game will think it’s the primary controller.

Are you sure? Wouldn't it 0ook much worse if it were completely pink plastic or something like that?

Good look finding a entry point on that shit

I'd buy it for that, and ONLY THAT

What's the specs in it?

It must be very low powered, but would still be cool if you could get other game streaming services on it

Amusing given the gripes about the lack of a browser on Portal, my favourite use of Vita's back touch pad was the browser.

It's easy to see the appeal of this, it's weird it triggers so many people.

As long as mediocrity is good enough and has a cheap price tag, people will still continue to buy trash. Might as well save up another 100$ and get a dedicated handheld or just a little extra and get the steam deck and have essentially an all in 1 emulation machine in the palm of your hands.
