Seemed like a must-have gadget

... how?

I came in here to note that most skepticism seems to miss what a niche and fixed-function gizmo this is. It has low aspirations and makes them pretty clear just from looking at the thing. Sony wedged a screen amid a controller. Its R&D budget was not deep. They didn't need to care if most people did not buy one.

I would ask, "what did you buy it for?," except it's only for one thing. If you don't match that single use-case where this thing functions - why would you even consider it?
