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

Who even wants one

Honestly I would have said me a few years ago.

The PSP was a AMAZING system. Not because of the games. But because it was such a great system for emulation.

But this is a post Steam Deck world.

But this doesn't even do what a PSP does. It doesn't play games natively, it just streams from your PS5 that you already have to own.

It's essentially the Wii U.

The WiiU was it's own console that actually had interesting integrations with the tablet. The Portal can't do anything like that since there is no second screen.

It's more like a portable Steam Link.

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
