The predecessor weighs more than a PS4 controller, costs more than a controller, doesn’t stay charged as long as either a phone or a controller, has a low resolution screen, less storage and it cannot run as many games/emulators as a modern phone.
But yes its money well spent and you dont have to carry about a controller which weighs around half of your hand hold… What a deal!
I’ll keep playing games for free with better graphics and a bigger library.
I asked why someone should buy one of these things instead of using what you already have, and every reason given was poorly thought out and was unable to explain or justify the purchase.
Seems like the target audience are idiots with spare cash, who are impressed by glowing analogue sticks and poor functionality.
