$200 is way, way too much money for what is basically a glorified WiiU controller, especially since everybody can already stream the same games directly to their phones.

$200 would be a hard sell if this were an actual portable console from Sony, which it's not. Given their track record, Sony would probably even have a hard time selling this for $200 if it were a fully featured tablet, which it's not.

This thing is a joke (or at least it should have been)

If it's hackable (I thought it was running custom Android) and it goes on fire sale, there might be something to it. Even if the hardware is very weak.
