GoronmonIs The PlayStation Portal Worth A Purchase? - GameInformer
I got mine today, and whilst the layout takes a small amount of time to get used to, I find it pretty intuitive and easy to use.
Obviously it’s not for everyone, but as someone who regularly loses the battle for the TV, this is hands-down a great purchase for me.
Otherwise I’d have to use my phone, which is annoying as I have to disconnect my controller and connect it to my phone, and the screen is too small, or my laptop which is a bit too cumbersome.
The Portal hits the sweet spot for me, it may not be for everyone, but I’m part of that niche that will use it regularly.
AppoxoLiterally the Wii U rehashed lol.
Still useful.

The problem with the Wii U wasn’t the concept. It was the execution. The idea of a portable handheld console is a sound one, it’s just not a universal need. Making your console dependent on a niche feature and only having like 2 exclusive launch titles and bunch of third party ports is not going to compel people to buy a whole new console, especially when everyone and their grandma already owns your previous console that had hundreds of games available on it. I bought one with my brother mostly so I could play Breath of the Wild when it was impossible to buy a market price Switch. It’s perfectly fine as a console and I used the portable mode on occasion. It just doesn’t have a lot of other reasons to exist.
