Sony: PlayStation Portal Exceeded Expectations as Remote Accessory, Not a Handheld Successor
- Sony says the PS Portal was not intended as a Vita or PSP successor, but to provide remote access to PS5 games in more situations
- The Portal exceeded Sony's sales expectations even though it was designed for a niche audience
- The device was conceived to expand the PS5 experience, not as a separate handheld console
- Its design maintains full DualSense controller compatibility without extra work from developers
- The name "PlayStation Portal" stems from its purpose as a window into PS5 games away from the TV/console
