Rare and Microsoft's multiplayer pirate game is set to launch for the PlayStation 5 later this month, on April 30.
PlayStation's Hiromi Wakai says the initial intent was to "expand the PS5 console game experience, not launch a separate handheld device.”
Hardware spending dropped by one percent over last year, with the PlayStation 5 still leading in unit and dollar sales for 2023.
The remote play handheld sold over 5,700 units in Spain last week, compared to Xbox Series X/S' collective sales of over 2,000 units.
Just two days on from its November release, the remote play portable device is already out of stock in the US and the UK.

Bluetooth devices can't be connected to the Remote Play handheld, while PlayStation Link will be required for upcoming PS5 audio accessories.
The cloud-streaming handheld device will stream PS5 games through Remote Play, though PS Plus Premium cloud titles won't be supported.
