I do this on my laptop or phone on my couch

Who is this for?

PS5U
Cube U

Is it not Project Q? First thoughts are it looks like a bad fan mock up

Also they announced wireless earbuds which look sexy if they work with Switch as well I can see me getting a pair of those.

Does this really need to exist?

I don't have a laptop or a decent mobile phone and I like the idea of simple streaming to a nice-sized portable screen with decent controllers. I guess I'm part of the target market.

Q

I wonder what the cost will be? A good quality (OLED?) eight-inch screen can't be *that* expensive, can it? Add on seventy quid for the controller(s) and a few quid for a case and receiver/transmitter... maybe a total cost of around £189?

Now watch as it's something like £299 .

This seems like an absolute rip off to me. If you want a handheld PS4/PS5 style device this isn’t it as you need a PS5 to begin with.

You can stream to other devices already. I sort of get the idea but this will come in no doubt at £250-300 but just seems doomed to failure.

Why not actually devise a handheld device instead? Do I really need a handheld streaming platform with the console right there?

Another thought... would the "controller halves" be detachable and/or replaceable? I'd hope that they could be replaced as wear n' tear could be an issue.

Now that's an interesting point; no mention was made of streaming PS4 games (via the PS5) and I wonder if the tech would allow it? If PS4 games could be streamed, that'd be terrific!

It's choice, I guess. This device won't be something that everyone wants; but personally I could imagine using it a lot as I often use my Switch whilst laying on the sofa or sat up in bed.

It’s over Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi only? Guess it makes sense, but it limits its uses.

>Stream your PS5 games
WHAT GAMES!?

Good point. No gaems! I might cancel my pre-order.

So it's a Wii U gamepad but with none of the interesting features.

Well that’s not going to work

We don't really know any of the tech being used at this point; the announcement was extremely light on detail and hopefully Sony will soon share more info.
