Will this make a dent in the handheld gaming market or have Microsoft just flushed 10s of millions of dollars down the toilet again?
That depends. People say that the Steam Deck is a failure because it doesn't sell 100 million units like Switch.Will THIS sell 100 million units? Fuck no, but it really doesn't need to. It will probably move a few million in its lifetime and I assume since it's just a ROG Ally with an Xbox sticker on it I think they're in a good position to make money with this.Nothing Xbox ever does is profitable in the grand scheme of things though, this won't change their fate.
>>720934909No.You don't need that shit. All you need is a Switch 2 and a PC. That's it.Switch for Nintendo exclusives and portability.PC for pirating, Steam, emulation, Indies, and everything else. That's the gold standard for actual gaming. Actual hobbyist tier setup. Homosexuals, poor browns, trannies, and redditors and NPC consoomers buy consoles and console war with each other over which plastic box is better.They are not gamers or game enthusiasts or hobbyists. The PC/Switch CHAD is
>>720934909FUCK no. Let it play the backwards compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games, and then we'll talk.
>>720935395Can you imagine if it had a 360 disc drive and inherited the ability to destroy the discs with the laser when it's jostled? lol
latter
>>720935530Why would you ever jostle a 360 while it's reading a disc?
>>720935739Life happens. Why would I assume the console would eat my disc if I moved it?I lost a copy of Rock Band 2 this way.But the joke was "imagine this on a handheld"
>>720934909It microsofts's tablet will fail just as bad as steam's tablet
>>720936002Just bring back the weird disc caddy the UMD had.
>>720934909Does this thing have a MSRP already?
>>720934909This thing looks absolutely retarded. They should’ve kept the original design and not put any gay xbox logos on it.
>cant pirate>cant emulateno thanks faggot
>>720936449IGN today have suggested it may be $899.99 for the Xbox Ally X and $549.99 for the Xbox Ally, though Microsoft have not confirmed this speculation.
>>720937071>Buying ASUS trashlol LMAO
>>720934909No, it'll lose to the Steam Deck, the next gen one with the Magnus APU will lose to the Steam Deck 2.
>>720935739do you not remember how prevalent this was? kids moms used to lift it up while it was on to clean and shit and it would grind a giant ring into the disc
Its only selling point is that because it's Windows it can play anti-cheat games unlike the Steam Deck.
