Sony’s PlayStation Portal Exceeds Expectations, Says Dev
Sony’s PlayStation Portal is making waves, significantly surpassing sales expectations, according to a recent interview with Hiromi Wakai, Sony’s Vice President of Product Management. This handheld device, initially viewed as a niche product, has caught the gaming community by surprise with its booming popularity.
Designed as an accessory to enhance the PlayStation 5 gaming experience rather than replace the PS Vita, the PlayStation Portal has been a topic of interest among gamers. Sony’s focus has now shifted towards boosting production to meet the unexpected demand. Wakai revealed in an interview that while specific sales data is yet to be disclosed, the Portal sold out in the United States and the United Kingdom two weeks prior to its release, underscoring its unexpected success.

The PlayStation Portal, priced at $200, is acclaimed for providing the best remote play experience for PlayStation games. It integrates a built-in DualSense controller, a vibrant display, and satisfactory battery life, making it an ideal PS5 companion for gaming on the go. Despite its primary function as a PS5 peripheral, the device’s scarcity in stores worldwide hints at its broader appeal.
Early adopters have praised the device, especially those with stable home internet connections, although concerns have been raised about performance over less reliable networks. This feedback has led some users to upgrade their internet service to fully enjoy what the PlayStation Portal offers.
