For what it’s worth, the posted article isn’t talking about the Portal - actually talking about a theoretical unconfirmed new handheld.

Besides access to console-exclusive titles, what does this thing do better than a Steam Deck? The fact that it requires an internet connection to be useful is an instant turn off.

Where has it been stuff that it has to always be online?
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It has to wirelessly connect to a ps5 to play games

What console exclusives are there these days?
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Sony and Nintendo are the only ones still doing console exclusives. Sony only cherry pick what they release elsewhere. Even if this handheld doesn’t have specific exclusives for it itself (if it is for playing games you can play on ps4/5 and nothing else) it still has value in the sense that it’s still a handheld and can be played anywhere rather than triggered to a tv or monitor.

Nintendo is a given, I was thinking of Sony and Microsoft. I think you’re right about it’s possible value. People are loving the portable options.

OK so…there’s no reason to buy this thing? Got it
