Quite a price difference between them to be fair.

One is a gaming pc, and the other is a controller with a screen that lags doing its one job.

Fully aware.

Kind of the point I was making. It's a cheaper device for a reason. This is like complaining that a chromebook has no local graphics horsepower. No shit? Why did you buy it expecting that? Oh because you picked the cheapest thing that vaguely resembled the form factor of what you wanted and expected it to do all the things the far more expensive options can?

Neither of these devices are brand gouging, you're getting the hardware capacity you're paying for.

Yet Sony’s device main focus should be the screen, since it’s just a portable screen…

The fact that they didn’t even put a WiFi 6 capable card in it shows they don’t give a shit about delivering a good product.

People will still buy it regardless. That’s why they don’t care.

Reviewers: “It lags and is often unplayable”

Gamers: “SIGN ME UP!”
