I'm glad steam deck propelled a new wave of handheld consoles that actually has decent specs

    I even saw an article yesterday indicating Sony is developing something as well. 2 years away, but still, I never thought they were going to try again after the psp and Vita failure (failure is subjective, I still love my psp). I fully believe the success of the steam deck has revived there interest in it as well.

    Is this something new? 'Cause they had that remote-play screen for the PS5 a while back that seemed to come and go without anyone noticing.

    Because it's not the same class of device. The PS Portal is very niche. It's a $200 device that basically just runs the PS Remote Play app.

    I've used PS Remote Play on my phone and laptop, and it's just not good in the cases I actually want to use it: when traveling away from home. Even with a good Internet connection it's only "okay". It's utterly useless when in transit (trains, places, etc.), and 99% useless in any public place (e.g. cafe or library WiFi).

    These are all cases where the Switch, Deck, and similar devices excel. The PS Portal addresses a much smaller market.

    There's the Playstation Portal, which only streams games from a PS5, and does a worse job than a Steam Deck... Which probably explains why so few people care.
