Ooooo a closed-ended hunk of plastic with surely some sort of forced AI / Windows 11 integration bullshit and a game library that is a fraction of the size that you can get on a Steam Deck. Exciting!
A handheld won’t work if it doesn’t have Nintendo stuff on it like Pokémon. Most people that would use it as a handheld don’t want to carry around 2 handhelds.
Did we already give up on PS5 and XSX? Feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface. Remember what developers achieved late in 7th & 8th-generation consoles? RDR2 anyone? Let’s give them time to cook up some greatness.
Next generation looks great for Xbox. I've always wanted the console to merge more with PC which wad always Xbox's niche. Glad they're fully leaning in to it.
Yeah I’ve shipped out on Xbox. They haven’t been getting their classics like a new gears or fable or a good halo in forever. When they start doing that I’ll care
Too bad it’s literally a pointless console unless you just use it as a game pass machine. The handheld would be a better deal especially if they collaborate with Valve
Pretty wild to already talk about the next console when we still haven't seen a new Gears, Fable, Perfect dark, etc. remember when studios used to release at least 3 mainline games of a series a generation...
They realized they only make profit on selling consoles not games. Youd think After the newest consoles having virtually zero games worth buying to play people would wise up and wait for the games to buy the console. but people still buy consoles day one off scalpers for 2x price with no games
May have been the case in the past, but since games cost stupid amounts to make now, games are being produced at a financial loss more regularly. So much so that the average game price will be raised to 100$ in the near future. Gta6 will set that precedent if I had to guess
They need to do what PlayStation did. A website that allows an opportunity to buy a console. I got lucky with my PS5 that way. I did keep it. I was also glad the fedex driver didn't steal it.
