The PlayStation Portal isn't looking to compete with the Switch or Steam Deck.
Those at Sony have now provided an official response when it comes to the comparisons that have been drawn between the PlayStation Portal and Nintendo Switch. This coming month, Sony will finally be launching the PlayStation Portal, which is a new streaming-based handheld that will allow PlayStation 5 users to play their games on the go. And even though the Portal isn't a proper handheld like the PSP or PS Vita, it has naturally led to many comparing it to Nintendo's Switch model.
In a conversation with BBC, Sony Senior VP Eric Lempel was asked about the PlayStation Portal and whether it could serve as a rival to both the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. Lempel said that he didn't see the Portal as something looking to compete with these other devices and instead described it as"really just something unique for the PlayStation audience.
Although Sony clearly doesn't view the PlayStation Portal as a proper successor to the Vita, it will be interesting to see if Sony ever looks to enter that field in an official capacity again. Despite failing to reach a massive audience with the Vita, the popularity of both the Nintendo Switch and Steam in recent years has shown that there's a massive market to appeal to.
When it comes to the release date of the PlayStation Portal, it's set to arrive this coming month on November 15. Currently, the Portal is available to pre-order both directly from Sony and through other retail chains and costs $199.99. Although this is a somewhat steep price for a streaming-only platform, the Portal does contain the same functionality seen with the PS5's DualSense controller, which makes it greatly improved when compared to other streaming devices.
Do you have any interest in picking up a PlayStation Portal for yourself this coming month? Or are you instead more than happy with the other handhelds that companies like Nintendo and Valve have released? Let me know either down in the comments or reach out to me on social media at @MooreMan12.
