Because it costs like one. PSP dropped at $250 though it quickly went down.

This is $200 and all it does is let you play your own very expensive PS5 Games so long you stay within your own home portably.

And if you don't want that, don't buy one.

It won't somehow become a separate platform, just because the price is higher than you'd like, for a single-purpose object. Its sales prove nothing about a completely different theoretical gizmo.

Nobody saw the Wavebird and went "well, the DS is fucked."
