Prior to its release, few predicted PS Portal would be successful. Many were baffled by Sony’s decision to release the Remote Play handheld, which streams gameplay directly from a PS5. But as the months wear on, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Sony’s added a permanent fixture to its hardware portfolio, with the device exceeding expectations.

Stock shortages have hindered the accessory, but US data for February reveals it was the best-selling peripheral when ranked by dollar sales. Obviously, the unit is pricier than your standard DualSense, but this is a category which also includes the fairly expensive DualSense Edge, so it’s clear there’s a pretty strong market for the portable.

Sony admitted recently that “demand has exceeded” even its own predictions, and it’s exploring ways to increase the available inventory of the unit. It’s yet another surprise success from the Japanese giant, with Helldivers 2 also beating all expectations and instantly becoming the best-selling game of the year thus far. Looks like the firm’s on a run, eh?
