PlayStation Portal is out but trying to find one is about as arduous as trying to buy a PS5 in late 2020.

      I’d say low supply but higher than expected demand. If it were low demand, people wouldn’t be having a problem getting one.

          Yeah, but Sony isn’t reaping the rewards for it, scalpers are. Artificial scarcity would make sense if Sony were jacking up their prices, but they’re not the ones doing that.

            Uhh, 200$ for a piece of junk sounds a lot like a lot to me, and enough to be considered “jacked”.

    How long you think it will take before we start seeing people posting pictures with the controller broken off, that doesn’t look very sturdy when you’re raging at someone.

    Low demand product and are creating hype going into the holidays. I wish this was another PSP or Vita both of which I bought at release but this is not it. If I could play my PS5 games not streaming that would be amazing but it’s a streaming device that is needs WiFi connectivity. I really wonder who their target audience is and what market research they used for this one!

      Wii U is a better console than the PS5 in part because of the game pad (not power wise)

      This helps close the gap although the Wii U still comes out ahead
