If Sony positions this device as a niche accessory to the PS5, I think it would do fine. If this thing is positioned as an actual handheld that is meant to compete with Switch, Steam Deck or even that Logitech cloud device, then it won’t do fine at all.

By the rumor it not. It can’t run game only remote play, it need the PS5 it can’t even stream on it own lol.

Not PS5 games. Sony doesn’t have the infrastructure for that.

Wow.

I wonder when PlayStation is looking to upgrade their infrastructure to support PS5?

I know they signed an exploration agreement with Azure years ago, but I haven’t seen or heard about any definitive direction on their cloud gaming initiative since.
