I don't understand what market the PlayStation Portal was designed for.

You're basically paying £200 for a DualSense controller MacGyver'd on a tablet screen that can only remote play PS5 games or stream from PSNow. There are both cheaper and better options which support not just Sony's ecosystem but also other gaming platforms.

Not to mention that cloud gaming in general just sucks.

It can’t even stream from PSNow it’s just for remote play lol

Cloud gaming doesn’t suck. You can literally play Half Life Alyx on a Quest from a cloud PC and it works great. This all depends on your location and cloud pc of course.

Playing a VR game wirelessly from your own PC is not "cloud gaming"

He's talking about cloud PCs like Shadow offers: https://shadow.tech/en-NL/shadowpc/offers

The fuck are you talking about? You can do what I’m saying from a remote cloud PC.

Cloud gaming doesn't suck though. As long as you have good Internet, it's awesome. I have several thousand hours with cloud gaming and couldn't have played any of those games otherwise, very rarely have any issues.
