That term is only being used to soften the blow of them leaving consoles behind.You are interpreting that slightly different than me. Sounds like a hybrid at most.
Is this just your feeling or do you have some ultra top secret info?That term is only being used to soften the blow of them leaving consoles behind.
I could plug a Mac mini into a TV but nobody would consider it a hybrid. Steam machines were also not hybrids.
Phil was saying earlier this year that BC would be handled via the cloud.Is this just your feeling or do you have some ultra top secret info?
That's not Kenan.

Dual-booting would have been too complicated for most.

Phillip Wesley Spencer III Guarantees Safety of Xbox Digital Libraries Amid Future Console Concerns
1. Phillip Wesley Spencer III's Statement: Phillip Wesley Spencer III, head of Xbox, reassured fans that their digital libraries are safe amid growing concerns about the future of Xbox consoles.
2. Background of Concerns: Rumors about Microsoft potentially stepping away from hardware led to fears that fans might lose access to their digital games.
3. Microsoft's Stance: Phillip Wesley Spencer III emphasized the importance of maintaining access to purchased content...
You're right, he did imply rather than outright say it. But that is often how MS works.From what I remember that's not what he said but he did kind of imply that was a possibility.
Nop. Thats just a ROG handheld. Anyone calling it an Xbox is reaching. Thers no Xbox logo or brand in it, it says ROG on the screen and had the ROG logo on the back.So... Xbox have outsourced their hardware development to Asus or something?
We will have multiple skus next gen from both Xbox and Playstation and I don't count one having a drive and one not as separate skus here
Bringing my bc titles onto my windows pc would be freaking legendary. I have a lot of bones to pick with MS but I know this is possible, and I think it would be really cool if they did it.MS never said, even remotely, that will implement BC via Xcloud. I guess getting information from "suspicious sources" has that effect...
The only information that exists on this respect is the creation of a team of engineers "for game preservation" on future Xbox devices. And the announcement of creation of this "Game Preservation Team" was made at same time tha Sarah Bond herself announced "the acceleration of development of the next Xbox hardware."
You don't hire engineers for BC if you're only going to offer it via Xcloud

So is this a Xbox?
Day 1, and this thing is no more or less ugly than any other handheld on the market.
Sony needs to NOT do this handheld shit either. Way to hold back consoles.Call it 'Project BOMB' because this hunk of crap is going to bomb the xbox brand even further into the abyss. No one is going to buy this overpriced piece of crap, just like no one is buying the series s/x. Once you decided to go third party, you essentially lost all semblance of consumer faith in your hardware and in your brand.
My Rog Ally X on turbo with newer games holds max of 2 hours.What's the battery life on these big handheld devices these days?
Everything is an Xbox /sSo is this a Xbox?
It's JJ's job to clean this s, not Phil's job.
…it's not a console. It's a PC handheld that runs Steam, GOG, Windows store etc.
It's the next ROG Ally. None of these are meant as major mass market sellers.
What does 'third party' have to do with this? its a PC!

Here's how the Asus ROG Ally X’s battery life compares to the ROG Ally — we tested both
We know the Asus ROG Ally X's battery life is better, but how much better?www.xda-developers.com
No one is going to buy this overpriced handheld. And if it's not going to sell alot then why make it exactly? Losing money for the sake of losing money makes 0 sense and this thing is going to lose money.
Sony is making one for next gen as wellSony needs to NOT do this handheld shit either. Way to hold back consoles.
Using a device that size as an actual handheld lolIt will be glorious for all 1.5 hours that it will last on a battery. 36 watt APU is no joke.
