Seems like a stupid decision to make remote play from PS5 system agnostic when your own handheld device doesn't even work with it.

Like, ELI5, what kind of executive decision making strategy is at play to completely undermine your unprofitable portable hardware?

Sony has their heads up their asses for a long time now. This is no surprise

Also sounds like they saw Steam Deck and how everyone started releasing shit to compete, and they couldn't scramble together anything more meaningful.

Yeah, its a damn shame. I loved my PSP and I would have bought another similar device years ago if it existed. But now that Steam Deck exists, that ship has sailed. I fucking adore my Steam Deck

I still had my PSP when that came out and nobody made any games for Vita that I was interested in

Same, and whenever SD came out I jumped ships as I only had a few games for the PSP that I liked, and they were all oldies anyway. I craved a device that works with games I already bought, and that I don't usually play on keyboard (I got a Steam Controller aswell, anyway). It's just a perfect device.
