Sony's Project Q: A Misguided Handheld Endeavor?

Sony's Project Q is a handheld device with an 8-inch screen that allows users to play PlayStation 5 games using Sony's Remote Play system, streaming them from their PS5 over Wi-Fi. However, it is not a true handheld console or a cloud gaming device, and the games must be installed on the PS5. The device offers the comfort of a handheld console and all the features of the DualSense controller, but it duplicates work other devices can do. The existence of Project Q suggests that Sony is aware of the demand for gaming to fit more adaptably into people's lives, but it is not a response to the rapidly shifting future of gaming.
