Sony announced its PlayStation Portal back on 23rd May and since then fans have been extremely excited to experience this handheld gaming console. An 8-inch HD screen with dual sense controller buttons is a feature of Sony’s new console. While the initial look at PlayStation Portal is receiving crazy attention from the media, many people speculate that this device lacks many essential features given its $199 price.

People are also convinced that the Xbox Series S is a relatively better option because it is priced at $249, which is just $50 more than the PlayStation portal.
