[Remember_Spinal]

“Although we don’t have any numbers to share, the demand has continued to exceed our expectations,” PlayStation’s VP of product management Hiromi Wakai recently told me.

Another device where I'm left wondering "who would buy this?!" Right up there with the ouya, stadia and series S.

I bought it day one and love it.

They should have shipped 2+ million in December would have sold most of them

I still use mine a lot

Unlike those devices/services this one actually sells out

I still can't buy one. I'm going to Portugal next month. I better find one by then

I don't want one, but there are a couple pretty obvious use cases for it.

Use a PlayStation Portal tracker. I think GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart and others can show you the stores near you that have units.

I love mine. I did not expect the experience to be as good as it is. Playing Helldivers 2 on it is fantastic, especially when laying in bed with some food and drink nearby.

I'm uk. It's absolutely dead here. But we should have a tracker as well.
Yeah that looks absolutely fantastic. Literally the perfect handheld.

People who want to remote play their playstation games my guess.

I have heard nothing but good things and praise from people I know who have bought this device.

They absolutely love the thing.

Good, now make a goddam "real" one. Fucking £300 beta testers, hating the fact that I love it so much. I'd have spent more and been able to sing it's praises instead of astrick-ing all the otherwise positive enthusiasm.

Gimme an oled version and I'll get it

They can barely develop games for ps5 let alone for another device

It didnt release till I left the UK. Ill pick one up after PSVR2. I would of picked up a PSP3 in Japan but atm, PS Portal I cant use

 

[Joey Ravn]

I bought mine day one on Amazon for €200 and I LOVE it. I love my Vita and I'd be absolutely over the moon with a new proper handheld, but the Portal has been incredible for me so far.

 

[Tartan Troot]

If they push Cloud Gaming onto it, then I would 100% pick one up.

Can anybody with the Portal and who also played via remote play on their phones before (or still does) share their experiences? Is there a difference regarding connection stability/quality or is it the same?

the quality is about the same but the experience is better with the haptics and the screen quality is brilliant.

My setup was as follows:

1gb Ethernet
2x PS5 Hardwired into router
Wifi Router ASUS ZenWiFi XT8

I think the picture clarity is better on the portal then say the iPad and i find it boots faster on the portal.

Also touch controls just suck!
