Nice work! Excellent video to send to my cousins when they ask what to get their kids, thanks!

Thank you @DailenGunter

But yet IGN gave ps portal a better review rating over the steam deck 😂, this is why true gamers don’t take them serious

[@sdmoore89]

I imagine it's because of how well each device does what it intends to do. Also probably different reviewers

[@Skibiditoiletiscool]

@@sdmoore89 you would think Sony would’ve allowed us to steam ps now library imagine being able to steam, all of the ratchet and clank series and infamous, I can do x cloud/remote play and ps now, seems kind of absurd, how many more people would subscribe to there services, I havnt used x cloud as much as I have since I’ve had my deck and rog all

[@Plutoboy85]

No media bias tho. 😅

[@metalgearray6832]

who are these "true gamers" and who are the fake ones?

[@thetrashcanman7537]

@@sdmoore89I imagine it’s that Sony pays them as the steam deck runs miles better

[@DrSpaceman]

Hideaki Nishani from Sony just confirmed today that the Portal has nothing limiting it from supporting cloud gaming and that it's something that they plan to look into.

[@rafaelfrias8711]

I just got the Portal, is very beautiful the design, but the connectivity is horrible, a lot of disconnection problems and that is everything when getting a handheld device. I’m going to return it and get the Steam deck 🙌🏽

[@moonshot85]

Can't you run the PS Remote app on the Steam Deck as well? 😏

and ps now

[@millerboi5048]

Two different approaches to handhelds. Ppl have to stop comparing it ti gam8ng PC's when Sony told you its a accessory no more no less and it's literally priced as such. And to your point they have more then enough options for you to choose from for the local gaming experience so the portal shouldn't upset no one.

[@snakesolied2285]

I cant believe people would even ask that question??? There's literally nothing to compare ... I love your content but I wouldn't even waste my time in making this video for the people who were asking this stupid question!!!!!

[@teddyfurstman1997]

Steam Deck OLED > Portal tbh

[@conchobar]

Comparing a $500+ device vs a $199 device? Yeah, OK.

[@Plutoboy85]

Should just be Steam Deck or PS Backbone accessory. No need to waste money on Portal.

[@thetrashcanman7537]

@@conchobaryeah they’re both portable gaming devices clown

[@What.99]

Also can’t forget the fact that the Portal doesn’t have Bluetooth, so if you want to use earbuds or headphones with it, you have to buy an accessory… for this accessory… that ranges from $199.99 (earbuds) to $149.99 (headphones). So, if you wanted to be able to play your Portal without disturbing anyone else nearby, that $199.00 price tag jumps to $350-$400ish. PASS!

[@someguyusa]

You can also use any wired headset too, and if you're considering this device, then you probably already have those available.

[@steeveroymusique]

I have a huge PS games library & I really enjoy the PS Portal for the convenience. The only game I had trouble with was NHL 24 online mode, beside that everything works fine so far. I'm still planning on getting the Steam Deck for my Steam games. For me they both have totally different purposes even though they both are for gaming , if that makes sense lol.

[@igitaq]

The Steam Deck has been my favorite gaming platform for a while. I am usually on the go and take mass transit so I have nearly an hour of premium time to play Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077. When I am taking lunch I can play a match of Titanfall 2. That's enough for me right now. When I want a break from those, I can play Elden Ring, Mad Max, Limbo, or Skyrim. That's about a third of what I have installed out of 55 verified games I have in my library.

[@Dino-scranasourus]

Am I mad at thinking of getting both to play my ps games on the portal and play pc games such as beamNG and cod custom zombies? 🤷‍♂️ it’s just to use when working away lol

[@steeze6k444]

No sir you are not! I got a Deck OLED, Playstation Portal + PS5 and Switch OLED, and I'm a dude who used to think 500 times before I purchase a handheld from aliexpress for like 30 bucks couple years back lol.. this generation is too tempting XD

[@Dino-scranasourus]

@@steeze6k444 is the ps portal worth it then?

[@MrFunCoil]

I own the portal and you need a good router depending on how many devices are connected which adds to the cost. But you can use it instead of ps5 controller so you save some cash

[@BoJangles42]

This was a waste of 2 minutes I’ll never get back. You should’ve compared how well the PS Portal performs in PS5 remote play vs how well the Steam Deck does the same since that is the only use case for the PS Portal.

[@iganinja6742]

Good video. I dont own steam deck. But im on steam often. I own a ps portal. ps5 has no limits on the games, I can play anything on that console huge plus. However steam deck has a selecton of games that can be played if compatible, has limits. Heres the con for portal ps5 has to be on or on restmode. Its a mirror which sucks also. Its not a separate console. i havent had alot of issues on Lag, but ive noticed very minimal and then works it self out nothing major. I'm sure easy updates can fix in future. remember the portal is a wifi based. depending on what you have. gamers have great wifi. if you're more than casual. I didn't like that I couldnt play music while gaming on the portal as I would on console. Theres more, but thats why this influencer is here. Lets see what he comes up with on next video. Good topic

[@bajszosjozsef4850]

Everything you just wrote about the Deck is plain wrong. Trust me, I own one.

[@iganinja6742]

@bajszosjozsef4850 i own one too. Elaborate

[@bajszosjozsef4850]

@@iganinja6742 No, you don't. You literally started your comment by stating "Good video. I don't own a steam deck." Are you high or what? 🤣

[@iganinja6742]

@bajszosjozsef4850 interesting. So you think Im not allowed to purchase one hours later. Still waiting for an explanation instead of a childish tantrum.

[@bajszosjozsef4850]

@@iganinja6742 Childish tantrum? I just pointed out the inconsistency in your story. If you really owned a Deck, you'd know there is no sort of "selection of playable games" or "limitation" on what games you can play and what not. The "Great on Deck" category on Steam just means that everything was optimised and tested on the Deck, and it's 100% verified to be a good experience. But it doesn't mean that games that didn't make into that list are literally unplayable, lol... Released on Steam? Playable, 100%, as long as the Deck is capable to push out playable framerates. And I've yet to find an unplayable game. Even Mafia Definitive Edition has a solid 30 fps. Non-Steam games can also be played, albeit those require some tinkering. And you can also stream your PS5 with it. So yeah. You don't own a Deck, 10000%, otherwise you'd be well aware of these things. But have fun playing around with your over-glorified PS5 screen mirroring device, lol.

[@weaksauce7896]

whats the latency on the ps portal? i tried using my ipad to play on cloud gaming when im not home but the latency feels like a 1972 brick tv. and does the steam deck need a subscription to play games

[@Daniel-dl7ft]

It’s a computer

[@elvin092]

Your video don't make sens buddy

[@BlackMartt]

Im geting steam oled 1t its about 670 euros i have the ps portal and its a bit dissapointing :/

[@Knakwursj]

Now lets compare a ford fiesta with a strawberry

[@kindred3147]

You normally hit the mark but u were way off on this comparison…it’s just a streaming device not a mobile pc…I.e. steam deck, rog ally etc

[@usmanyousef1949]

He literally mentioned that in the differences.

[@thegixlad27]

The PS Portal should have been bundled with the console.

[@DailenGunter]

Spotted the pretentious gamers who have never had an unsavvy relative ask "what should I buy?" because their family knows they'll get a pretentious answer....... 😅

[@deangeliststrozier6891]

Well if you can’t play call of duty on the steam deck without doing all that windows stuff what’s the point of spending that much money

[@MrSpoilding]

One is getting loud and hot makes your fingers cramp when it would last more than 1,5 hours playing cyberpunk, the other one costs half the price delivers better graphics and you can play four hours without getting numb hands

[@BossUpNikka]

typing from a steam deck. this is false. op does not own a steam deck cause his pockets hurting

[@MrSpoilding]

@@BossUpNikka you got me 😭😄 Still love the Portal. Using it close to every day it's a good option when you have family and most of your games are already on playstation.

[@jamesanthony8438]

I'd like the Portal, but since I don't own a PS5 (and probably won't be getting one anytime soon), it's a hard pass from me... which sucks, 'cause I'd much rather have the Playstation. =/

[@juliox9]

the steam deck or the switch or even the PS vita, are way superior because they are indepent consoles and they also can be used as a streaming device like PS portal, PS porta is nothing more than an accesorie for a ps5 just like the WiiU game pad.

[@haydenmannino9297]

399 for a what? 😂

[@jacksonx]

I’m so glad I chose the steam deck over the PlayStation Portal 💀

[@jubeiclothing]

Video was a complete waste of time. Let’s compare a handheld pc to an accessory…

[@Plutoboy85]

Naw, the portal should be roasted. No native play, no cloud, no Bluetooth, no 3rd party apps for things like Netflix, have to be connected to wifi. Any other gaming company would be laughed at.

[@dannonyogurt98]

The only thing that is a waste of time is the PlayStation portal itself

[@richieb9675]

As a dad who’s looking for the “ultimate” handheld i might think i return the portal…ive been a gamer all my life (44 now) love emulation and been a pc gamer 18 years. But my main games are diablo 4, destiny 2 and call of duty atm. Please help me out 😅 return the portal and get the deck…or just wait for updates that will fix the latency/stability on the portal

[@SkywayPark21]

I think it just depends on the experience your looking for, portal has bigger screen but you have to stream games with the PlayStation and you have to be on wifi while steam deck is ready to go at all times. And you can do almost everything a pc can do. But the ultimate handheld is definitely the steam deck OLED. Just ordered mine today I haven't even used it yet but I am very excited

[@tadbashtardaln]

For me the portal is ideal. I already have a 200+ games library on playstation, and don't plan to buy the same games and more on steam. So when my son wants to play and I want to watch something on the tv, the portal is ideal.

[@conchobar]

The Logitech G Cloud is the better comparison. G Cloud is $100 more, but its compatible with nearly every game streaming service, and runs on android so you also get android game support and the ability to emulate games. Sounds like more than $100 of extra utility. Also the G Gloud has bluetooth support.

[@sdmoore89]

That's all good if you care about that stuff. If you just want to do remote play the portal is probably better because of the controller and screen

[@Rockmirth]

Yes and the steam deck is about the same as the g cloud and that plays pc games and emulates better!

[@Plutoboy85]

The Portal ends up being more expensive for most. Since it doesn't have Bluetooth, users will have to spend another $200 on Sony proprietary ear buds.

[@cportpapi3054]

Let’s be honest no grown ass man taking handheld games outside 😂😂😂

How would you expect both devices to compare? SMH

[@user-ug4ko6dd3s]

Please can someone guide me which one should i buy ps portal or steam deck

[@NerfGamingNews]

I think it all depends on what you are wanting. If you have a PS5 a Portal could be a good experience, but if you don't have a PS5 and are wanting a stand alone device go with the steam deck. Hope this helps.

[@someguyusa]

If you are a big time PlayStation user with a library of games already, then the Portal is the way to go. If you're already a big time Steam user with a library of Steam PC games, then get the Steam Deck.

[@patzsediego0918]

all bla bla bla. waste of time. no one screen personal detailed comparison. bleckh!!!

[@Plutoboy85]

If you want to use wireless headset, the cost is even more. This device doesn't support Bluetooth, so users would have to spend another $200 on Sony proprietary ear buds 😅

[@fluvirus]

Not if you already own the sony pulse 3d wireless headset, your good to go.

[@icydiamonds3747]

Portal wins for me bcuz steam won’t have Spider-Man 2 for a long time, that, call of duty, fortnite….

[@BossUpNikka]

too bad we can just use the playstation portal app on steam deck which is exactly what the portal does but looks better and we can use playstation now which the portal cant. also too bad we got the biggest gaming marketplace in the world
