I worked at a 100, 000 person company.

We had firewalls to make sure that other divisions in the company couldnt steal our IP

Sony divisions operates so much differently that I remember Sony phones having not so great cameras, because they were competing against the camera division.

Average gamers are much older then they were, Portal is a perfect accessory for the aging parent gamer who can't always have access to their tv due to spouse, children, etc...

My wife was complaining about sleeping alone often because I play at my desk a lot. The PS Portal solved this issue for me

Woah, thanks for the shoutout/love on my video guys 💙 03:38

My friend bought one. I 100% get it. He has young kids, he can play God of War on the PS5 he already had while his son plays Mario. He wouldn’t want to play ps5 on the TV while his son is on the switch, he doesn’t want his 4 year old seeing the violence. Now he can have the switch on the TV while he sits on the couch playing whatever he wants.

"bloody freedom units" is such a true measurement

Did you know that different teams in Sony actually compete against each other despite them being part of the same overall company. It’s why Sony Vegas Pro got sold.

I bought a portal and I knew exactly what it was going to be for, and I use it every once in a while. But as a person with a full time job, sometimes I'm too tired to sit at my desk or couch playing my ps5 and I just want to lay in bed and play the portal. Feels good in my hand, the sualsense is nice and with my internet setup, perfect for me

you can get your linus was right moment

It actually makes perfect sense that Sony, of all companies, would be the one to find a way to sue themselves.

[ChristianStout]

Sony Group may be Japanese, and may own Sony Interactive Entertainment, but SIE is an American company with American leadership.

With the new update the Portal maybe worth getting..now accepts 2.4 and 5 gig internet signals from WiFi.

[ggwpBC]

Sony's strategy of competing with itself sounds stupid until you realize how many different markets they are in and how they usually are a really big competitor in every single one. Basically, the company can use the money and connections of the conglomerate to push new ideas, while also using the fact that each individual segment by itself is too weak to be complacent, in order to keep the teams on edge but with a budget.

The PS Portal was the best purchase I’ve ever made. As a Dad of 3 with my gaming setup in my basement office, being able to pick up the portal to play offline games (online I usually only play at my desk) is the most convenient thing. I often end up playing in 10-20 minute intervals (kids man…they make you get up a lot lol) so being able to walk around the house with it, makes gaming before 8pm a possibility.

[Soundwave]

As an example how seperated the internal teams in Sony are compare the Cine line cameras with the Alpha line. The firmware and features are day and night different

[DforDenmark]

I bought a portal knowing full well that it is a streaming device and use it multiple times a week.

[shaeD]

I'm honestly surprised how well it's doing cause I still don't think 200 is worth it for a device that only streams (something you can already do with a app on your phone or browser on a laptop) not to mention no Bluetooth support. But as someone who recently got a steam deck and has barely touched my PC since, I do see the appeal to it if your a parent who doesn't have the free time or energy to sit at a couch or desk to play games,

[abrahamcordero]

I love when he said " to put yourself in the mindset of someone who is considering buying it in the first place". There are so many reviewers out there that are single and without family obligations for starters. I have been gaming my entire life and reduced more and more with kids and supporting my family. Sometimes it is easier to say " babe, I'm going to take a s**t" and bring my portal with me, instead of getting picked on for sitting in my office / game room times out of the day.
