Right, which is why it's a bummer (not that it doesn't play games locally, but that it doesn't even work with other streaming services like GeForce Now, GamePass/xCloud, Shadow, etc.).
The "streaming only handheld" isn't uncommon anymore (like in the GP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39436797), but most of those are service-agnostic and let you pick where you want to stream from. The Portal is locked to PS, as far as I can tell... not sure if it even supports PSNow (Sony's cloud streaming solution)?
