The PlayStation Portal is a perplexing single-purpose device.

This thing is terrible, who the fuck is buying shit like this? What a waste of electronic materials. They could’ve made a true handheld with the power of the steam deck that could run PS5 games at lower resolutions, but fuck no! Let’s make some bullshit abomination of a Vita successor and give anyone who loves portable gaming the middle finger, especially since you can’t use Bluetooth headphones. Fuck you Sony.

Sony is just so bad at this whole portable gaming thing, aren’t they?

Classic case of design by committee.

Not only does the functionality seem almost completely unnecessary except for a limited use case here and there, but this thing is truly ugly. Who designed this travesty? How would you even store this bumpy hunk of plastic?

Sony used to have some of the most elegant and clean hardware aesthetics. Their designs were genuinely beautiful, simple, and practical. They used to ooze premium luxury. Now we get a screen with a sawed off controller stuck to the sides? Disappointing.

You know what? I take it back. The PS5 is shaped like a modem from 1999, it deserves this ugly step-cousin.

I refused to buy a PS5 because of how ugly it is. My friends got one, but I chose an XB1X because of how much better it goes with my house.

As an owner of 2 Vita’s that didn’t use this feature on PS3, PS4, zero chance I’d buy this to do it on PS5.
