    This is good for vanlifers who can’t fit a TV inside their vans, parents of small kids who don’t own iPads, and… that’s it? 🤔

    Can you even use this as a standalone second controller for the PS5?

      It’s like the Wii U, except with even lower adoption rates

        Daily reminder that Stephen Totilo (currently of Axios, formerly of Kotaku) would plug his Wii U into airport wall outlets and play games on the tablet controller thingy

      Sony looked at their metrics and saw that 99% of PS Vita owners only used it for Remote Play and came to entirely the wrong conclusion.

      Just buy a portable monitor. There are even ones with OLED or high refresh rates now.
