So you need a $500 console to use a $200 handheld streaming device that doesn't have bluetooth so you probably will also buy a PS Link capable headphone that'll cost another $200.

Those are some big bucks to avoid using steamdeck or switch.

Who owns wired headphones these days? It’s not 1875 anymore.

I have at least four pair in my house right now. Two of them can also be Bluetooth headphones, but they have the option to plug in if need be.

The Portal should have Bluetooth. It really should. But the argument that people have to buy their expensive headphones is obviously not true when there is the alternative present (which, by the way, is the option a lot of people complain about iPhones and Androids not having any more).

Yeah I know, but the kind of audience it's targeting may not be carrying wired headphones to use with their streaming handheld that only works on WiFi.

It’s intended for people who already own the €399 console.
