    This is WORTHLESS.. CANCEL IT AN BRING OUT A REAL HANDHELD! It was not difficult a handheld that can play PS1 / PS2 / PS3 / PSP / PS VITA digital games and PS4/5 steaming… it was so easy and no brainer it would have sold MILLIONS! but they go the stupid route…

    Assuming Sony goes for the PS5 slim instead of PS5 Pro in this generation, bundling Project Q with PS5 while maintaining the same price point on the whole package might be able to attract prospective buyers who are looking forward to the successor of Nintendo Switch, if this combo also works over 5G rather than limited to local Wi-Fi.

    Not better then the psp

    Don’t waste money on this. There’s literally an app that does the EXACT same thing. You can stream from your PS5 with any phone, tablet, PC, or laptop and a PS controller with the streaming app.

    They had the opportunity to make something exceptional and they dropped the ball, it’s like they purposefully wanted this device to fail.

    This is the most out of touch product I’ve ever seen. 😂

    If the latency is good. It might be worth a look. I honestly have been doing some remote play on xbox and although it is an ok experience. The need to free up your phone is quite limiting since your phone is your primary comms device and switching between messaging apps and remote play is just a chore.

    This being dedicated to remote play/streaming fixes that. Kinda like retro handhelds.

    But this is just a vs smartphone + controller combo. If you”ve already got something dedicated to just doing remote play like a retro handheld with wifi/razer edge. Then you would probably not need this except for the better controller experience?

  16. ASVP HIOS

    May 25, 2023 at 8:59 pm

    This thing will fail so hard! Who needs this when you can remote play with your phone?😂

    these is waste of money sony sorry im sure be say 1000 sold just see why anyone do these do there own reviews but be huge bust been lot lot smarter to a vita 2 i would scraped these idea soon as first person spoke of it waste of money

    We say what we want about Nintendo sometimes, but damn it, if they not the trendsetters! When Nintendo creates something, other companies WILL copy!

    Could be a hit if it can be used as a standard controller for the PS5 with the screen as an extension. Game developers could integrate ways to use the screen in their games (ex: Selecting plays/making adjustments in sport games, selecting loadouts in fps games, inventory in RPGs, etc) and Sony could use it for text chatting, managing a party, etc. There’s a lot of potential there if done correctly

  20. william watson

    May 25, 2023 at 9:10 pm

    It’s dumb that you need a ps5 to use it…

  21. travis s

    nah,, Ill better have SteamDeck than this one.

  23. Uchiha Itachi

    May 25, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    im guessing its gonna be $200 cuz of the features. It not being OLED though, it better not be anything past $300

    The most important thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn’t depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.

      I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can’t thank stocks & ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER enough for such an amazing way to make money!

    Companies are coming out with great products such as ROG Ally and Steam Deck and this is what Sony has to offer? Hugely disappointed.

  28. Chris Evans

    May 26, 2023 at 5:58 pm

    1. You can already do remote play with your phone with the dualsense.

    2. Remote play is terrible even with great internet speeds. There’s still input lag and sometimes drops picture.

    So my question is who is this for? This makes no sense. If I can’t take it on the go, what’s the point? If this thing is more than $150 they ain’t gonna sell anything. Only people that will buy them will be the thousands of YouTubers who buy them for a review 😂

    One game twice the power use… In an age of high energy costs. Doh!

  30. Cero One

    May 26, 2023 at 6:05 pm

    It’s like Sony is just begging for this thing to failed
    The thing looks like it’s just a device for remote play, an additional accessory for the PS5

  31. Josh Carrillo

    May 26, 2023 at 6:08 pm

    I hope it comes in pink to match my ps5 & controller lol

  32. joyconboyasmr 64

    Over wifi? Lol yeah I’ll just stick to my switch 😂

  35. RLB

    May 26, 2023 at 6:17 pm

    how hard is it look at nintendo and make something similar? Jesus!!!!! The vita floped because you made it a jack of all trades and master of none, just make it play games!! thats it!! I’ve been a loyal fan since the 90’s and it`s always the same with you!! you know what I’m aplying for a job in R and D, because aparently you don`t need to bee to smart for it.

  36. Dank Attack

    I’m 35. I’ve been waiting for sometime to get a ps5 because Covid ruined everything.

    I can’t. I can’t get behind this. I’d rather pay for another Switch so I can get that feeling of burning money out of the way.

    Hopefully it will get hacked so it can be made useful.

  41. Music2Anime

    May 26, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    I wouldn’t mind a portable ps5, but this is a joke.

    I’d rather a whole new system rsther then buying a system that can stream from another system. It’s a waste of money.

  42. Real Dog trainer

    May 26, 2023 at 8:09 pm

    Between the steam deck and the ROG ally this thing is DOA

  43. MitsuBros

    May 26, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    How hard is it to do a new psp or psvita ?? This new Q is useless

  44. Victor Q

    May 26, 2023 at 8:14 pm

    This is my thought. Yes it’s pretty ugly however.. I do like that it’s a large screen, LCD will keep the cost down over OLED. The grip being high up on the device should keep the balance nice and most of all what people aren’t mentioning. This will be the most comfortable in hand gaming tablet on the market. I’m sure the wrist and hand fatigue will be at a minimal. I believe at $200 these things will sell. I’m not the have a TV in my bedroom type. All my handhelds have always been my go to 20-30 mins of game time before bed that can be placed on my nightstand. Give me access to my PS4, PS5 and PS Plus catalog in bed. I’m in at $200.

    Lousy design. That controller needs to on the bottom and the screen on the top

  50. Murk

    May 27, 2023 at 1:39 pm

    Needs good wifi and no offline play
    THAT SUCKS
    I went from I’m going to buy one to play and one to keep sealed to I ain’t buying any

  51. Daniel Soriano

    Q stands for “Queer” not a console not a handheld but a streaming device 😅

  52. Tobi L

    May 27, 2023 at 1:50 pm

    if this cost less than £100, maybe. No use case at all otherwise

  53. Emperor Jahrome

    May 27, 2023 at 1:58 pm

    I really hoped there would have been a psp 2 type device that could play PS5 games and had its own liat of titles dedicated to it as well. That would have sold like a beast.

  54. NoXiousBLD

    May 27, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    Sony is so damn stupid sometimes with hardware….

  55. Clanplayz

    May 27, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    Ps remote play is just straight up a scam plus the fact you have to pair it to your ps5 meanwhile the psp you could take that thing anywhere in the world I already can tell this is gonna be a flop

  62. Jay

    May 27, 2023 at 5:29 pm

    hideous, destined to fail, abomination, bring back the PSP and call it simply playstation portable, yes mobile gaming is big now, but you simply cannot play console level games on a phone, they simply do not exist.
    Bring a nice 2k 6.5″ screen, plenty of 1st and 3rd party titles and accessories, give it all the mobile connectivity option, a modern UI, good advertising, make sure its fully playable offline when needed, price it fairly ball park £300-350 give it full PS compatibility for online gaming using game passes give it secondary screen or remote play options to get rid of this decrepit device, dont make some silly proprietary card for the games and dont try and rip people off for over priced storage cards . i would buy that device in a heart beat.

  64. chandler smith

    So Why wouldn’t someone just connect their phone to A PS 5 controller Is wouldn’t that be a cheaper alternative.

  65. Danny Quin

    May 27, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    PlayStation U hehe

  66. Hagaishi TV

    May 27, 2023 at 7:12 pm

    Actually it sounds like the perfect business module. That thing going to be at least 250 and it looks easy to break so there’s going to be a lot of people re buying it lol.

  67. Kaiyugi

    May 27, 2023 at 7:50 pm

    O look another device for the trash bin!

  68. isaiah1516

    May 27, 2023 at 8:18 pm

    This doesn’t even make sense, wtf?
    So you can’t even take this to go like the switch. Waste of money

  74. MS

    May 28, 2023 at 4:09 am

    Why did they make the design so horried? The design of the PS5 is bad enough… secund, if it’s anything like remote play, it sucks by default.

  75. Ki

    May 28, 2023 at 6:50 am

    This is really disappointing .. I would’ve loved to of seen a mix between the PSP and something like the steam deck

  76. Rikukey2

    May 28, 2023 at 8:10 am

    Don’t know why they just didn’t have it tether to the ps5 instead of wifi

  77. Jacob Fletcher

    May 28, 2023 at 8:27 am

    I was gonna get this to replace my ps4 but it’s stream idea is dumb if I can’t play offline on road trips or at all it’s a huge money grab

  78. Misaki Debugged

    May 28, 2023 at 8:47 am

    I would understand if it didn’t need an internet connect, for example using the PS5’s WiFi Direct, so the Project Q thing only needs to pair with the PS5.

    Needless to say my disappointed is endless andy day has been ruined. They could have made an Ayaneo like device that can Stream from the PS5 BUT also be dedicated to Indie games only for example.

  79. Noname

    May 28, 2023 at 9:08 am

    Just revive the psp, come on now!

  80. Douglas Frior

  81. Brent Strawhacker

    May 28, 2023 at 11:03 am

    Exactly what we didn’t ask for! Who wants a device they can’t take with them on the go?

  82. Thorn Tech

    May 28, 2023 at 12:29 pm

    …. Why is Sony so greedy about these things? They couldn’t give us access to the playstation store and allow us to use micro SD cards? This literally is just what we can do now with the backbone or x2 controller

  83. MidniteSociety

    May 28, 2023 at 12:41 pm

    So we’re supposed to pay 300+ dollars for a portable that isn’t portable.

    May 28, 2023 at 1:08 pm

    This excites me big time. But If I can’t play games on a plane though……or a train…or anywhere I don’t have WiFi….what’s the point?…thats the point of a handheld no?

  87. Pablo Arieu

    May 28, 2023 at 1:20 pm

    I can do the same with my iPad Pro and the ps5 controller. This project will flop hard.

    ps vita 2 is what we need sony not just remote play you wasted the opportunity🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

  91. Mike B

    May 28, 2023 at 2:44 pm

    If i could pair this to my ps5. Then take it to my brothers house, switch it on, and connect to my ps5 back in my house and play my games. Then switch off my ps5 remotely and this thing. Id buy it.

    But if voth this and the ps5 need to be on the same netowrk together then its going to be useless to most people.

  92. XChronicHash

    May 28, 2023 at 2:59 pm

    If it’s like $150, I’d cop it

    Jim Ryan talking about “innovation is our passion” what about this is innovative?

  95. Spaceman

    Just get a ps5 controller and could play

  96. Robot 2000

    So this turns your PS5 and home internet into a cloud gaming service

    Im just waiting for the super nintendo switch to be announced. Switch won this console generation its honesty pathetic that Microsoft and sony are struggling with software on stronger hardware while nintendo is releasing games on weaker hardware and is winning the competition. And sony is going to make a playstation u basically. Sony deserves to fail.

  98. MrTighe

    May 28, 2023 at 9:15 pm

    I got burned on buying the Vita they won’t get Me again. I my buy the ear buds to pair with my PS5 though.
