I'm not using it as branding moniker (hence why I didn't capitalize the term to match the name); I'm saying that it's a streaming device licensed by Playstation for streaming from Playstation. It has Playstation logo right there on it and has "remote play" all over the marketing photos.


If its aim is to emulate the console experience, then it seems perfectly apt to emulate the controller as well. It does for me at least.


I'm going to shirk off the angsty-ness in your comment, I imagine you're passionate about the topic as well.


It "literally makes sense" and others have agreed above^ even. Figuratively it makes sense too.

Ugh. It has Playstation branding, but staggered thumbsticks. Pick a lane, Sony!
