PlayStation has entered the competition for handheld gaming in the ninth generation of consoles with the launch of the PlayStation Portal. While it's easy to compare the PlayStation Portal to other handhelds like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, Sony's new handheld has some key differences from these other consoles that are worth taking a look at. Being able to play PlayStation games portably is an enticing prospect, but interested players should know what they're getting into before purchasing a PlayStation Portal.
