I can only imagine the shock and awe when they actually see it.

The Shock will be the price and the awe will be "Aww well...."

Ok, so this thing is releasing in 2 months, Gamescom started, and everybody thinks this is just a ROG Ally rebrand with Xbox color scheme.

Where are the show floor impressions? What is different than the stock ROG Ally?

The fact that Microsoft is constantly justifying itself and trying to convince people that they will have a next console only makes me believe that reality will probably be very different from what everyone imagines.

When a company tries too hard to say and convince its audience that everything is fine, but without showing tangible data or giving clear answers, it's for one simple reason: they have no idea what is really going to happen.

?? The XBOX presentation show is today (less than half an hour from this quote) and afterward it will be available to visitors, and websites like DF will surely have analisys ready.

PS. GamesCom is 5 days.

This is exactly the vibe that I am getting from Playstation at the moment. The recent rumors about PS6 were deliberately leaked from the Sony headquarters to lull their users into a false sense of safety that everything is going to be alright, while in reality the entire Playstation division is about to close in less than three months. The Helldivers 2 port to Xbox seems to be their final attempt to conserve at least a small piece of their legacy before everything goes down the drain.

They don't even talk about Series consoles or any console

So I am watching the stream right now and they are talking about the Microsoft Ally and it's....just empty talk. It seems to have some sort of Microsoft-themed overlay, however they just hovered over to the left and it clearly says "Armory Crate" so they couldn't even be bothered to change that.

Yeah, apart from "saving ≈2GB of memory" due to gaming mode there wasn't excactly much details/meaty info. Big-screen overlay seems ok. But guess we'll have to wait for some external impressions to get into the nitty-gritty.
