I'm guessing it'll be like a Ally competitor, running Windows and not locked down like we would think of with a traditional handheld (PSP, GBA, etc).

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I'm actually more excited for a native handheld than i would be a pro...
The series X is good enough for now, in the next year or two give us Series X-2.
*I just hope it doesnt kill my hands/wrists like handhelds tend to do w me

I honestly dont know what they can offer at this point. A series s equivalent?
If it sits between series s and series x, would devs even bother creating three versions of the game?
I just hope they improve the rt features of this thing because series s removes RT in way too many games. Dragons Dogma 2 being the latest victim. if its using the latest rdna4 cores then 4 tflops might be able to do rt.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
What customer segment does this really benefit? Is there really demand for another portable?

They will still bring a traditional based console but I THINK its going to be more expensive than what people are used to

Id take a handheld over a pro console for sure.
Make sense, a handheld to increase gamepass.
Still room for MS to fuck it up with price, it being a cloud device only etc

I don't see anything prying me away from Steam Deck other than Steam Deck 2 or maybe the rumored Nvidia handheld. Good thing about this is Phil maybe following through on making Windows more streamlined on a handheld.

Seems like MS is seeing the money Nintendo is making and wants in on it.
Just like with Kinect after the Wii's massive success.

If it's like all of Microsoft's other consoles, it will be part of the Xbox ecosystem and it will run games in a virtual machine.
Assuming they tune it to have equivalent power to a Series S, then it will launch with a large library that already exists and no games will have to be made specifically for it. It will just run the same code as Series S games.
There's potential in the idea. But modern Microsoft is all about chasing share price rather than pleasing paying customers. I have very little confidence in their future gaming endeavors.

They won't: this would run PC games or the Series S version of games

Surly if shifting to handheld hybrid worked for Nintendo, it will work for Xbox.

Not me, I don't have time when I'm out to play video games. I get it for people who take the bus or a train but when I'm out I'm driving or taking care of business and then I'm back home. Last thing I want to do is lug another expensive piece of tech around just to play it for 20 minutes on my lunch break.

Yeah whispers say its equivalent to the Series S

Give me it. I love using my steam deck or even phone to remote play. Native install on a handheld would be amazing!

So it's an Xbox or a PC handheld? If it's a PC handheld your Xbox games won't go with you. So the majority of their consumers would likely be starting from scratch.
Mark my words Portal will be bigger threat to Xbox than PS5 it Self
Xbox biggest advantage is Azure when it comes to the future of "Off-Console Gaming" but with Portal in the mix there is a reminder that there is close to 50 million PlayStation servers in people's homes around the world & growing.

Steam Store is their competitor, in a sense. Of course, they still work together as it is mutually beneficial.

Portal is a PS5 accessory, this is a dedicated handheld that has to run the games itself....

Handhelds so hot right now w/ Steam Deck / Ally / Legion.
Gamers are way more willing to accept 800p @ 30fps than 4K @ 30fps which seems strange but portability greatly increases the appetite for compromise I guess.

I had a Kinect on the x1 and it sucked.And look how that turned out
If Xbox can bring quality games consistently to their portable, it could work.
I have my doubts though. Part of Nintendos success has been exclusives. Something Microsoft seems to be moving away from.

The Kinect V1 was a phenomenal success for them. It sold them 10m Xboxes at the end of its life cycle.And look how that turned out
I know exactly what it is & it's a threat to Xbox new strategy

Series S handheld. Lets go.
If its just the Series S in handheld, devs don't need to optimize for handheld.

It would be deeply retarded to make this a closed garden console environment rather than a handheld PC with a custom OS
