This has to be one of the dumbest looking things I’ve ever seen come out of the gaming industry. I think this will be a flop, and I kind of hope it does flop because it shows Sony that people really do want portable gaming experiences that don’t suck like the Switch and the PSP.

It sounds like a bust to me, especially if you can't take it outside your home network. One can already pair the DualSense/DualShock to a phone or tablet (or Bluetooth-enabled PC, for that matter), and connect that to the PS5/PS4 via internet-based Remote Play. About the only thing you would be able to do differently with this is have your screen in between your hands without some messy tape.

Having the PS Remote Play mobile app with controls for these (Sony has recently approved one compatible for mobiles with that app to come out) or things like the Deck with Chiaki, this is something that should not exist and is useless.
And also this thing is only compatible with PS5 while the other 2 are compatible with PS4 as well.

I think Sony knows that in order to sell this in great numbers, it's going to need to have some sort of streaming capability, in addition to the listed purpose (remote play from PS5). I love the 8" screen, and the controllers. The company that made the PSP and Vita KNOW how to make a good handheld independent playing platform, and I hope they will share this bonus news soon. If so, I'm all in.

I'll always be supportive of a spiritual successor to the PS Vita, but that very device ended up being neglected by Sony and discontinued due to the success of smartphones and everyone's receding willingness to carry with them an extra device just to play video games on. Sony will have done a fair bit of market research though, so if they think they can sell such a device in large enough numbers then by all means let them go ahead with it.

Not just kids. I have adult battles for the big TV !
I can see that being the main usage for this - I have a Backbone controller for my iPhone which does the same job, but the sticks and triggers just aren't anywhere near the level of the DualSense.
You can't use that for "proper" gaming but this Q might do the job - GT7 on the couch whilst something else is on the TV. No more anti-social hiding away in the man cave.

This is not only going to be a huge flop - the annoying thing is Sony will see this is a flop and decide that all handhelds will not be worth their while again, despite the fact their last two handhelds were (hardware) masterpieces.
And that's the sad part. Nobody asked for this, and all chances of a proper PSP/Vita successor will go down the drain with it.

- The failed experiment entitled “California”.
Nobody asked for a “Gameboy” either, but you were the coolest kid in school if you had one of those, and a pair of Nike Pumps on your feet.
The price-point is going to determine wether this is a failure or a success. I’m a tentative “in”, for the right price
