I bought a deck instead, and it turns out 80% of my game time is on Chiaki4Deck, streaming my PS5. I don’t regret the purchase, but I do miss those haptic dualsense features. However, Deck has OLED and HDR streaming. Plus 720p resolution is more stable than 1080p.
Chiaki4Deck is amazing and added a lot for me. Don’t have to stop playing FF7:Rebirth when someone else wants the TV 😄 Just pause, switch over, and keep playing. PS Portal seems like a good idea until you realise your phone can do the same thing with your existing controller and a £10 attachment.
I did (pre steam deck) get Chiaki working on my homebrew switch. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as the deck is performance wise.
Edit: Word
Guess we can kiss goodbye the idea of having another PSP in the future then…
Why do people think this fancy controller is a handheld console?
Because it costs like one. PSP dropped at $250 though it quickly went down.
This is $200 and all it does is let you play your own very expensive PS5 Games so long you stay within your own home portably.
And if you don’t want that, don’t buy one.
It won’t somehow become a separate platform, just because the price is higher than you’d like, for a single-purpose object. Its sales prove nothing about a completely different theoretical gizmo.
Nobody saw the Wavebird and went “well, the DS is fucked.”
