why are modern consoles so fucking huge???
>>736586049Because gaming is strictly for chads and Stacie's nowadays
>>736586049It needs to be able to fill the shelf when you've got no games to put there.
The PS2 slim had the perfect design and size The design of the PS5, what were they thinking?
>>736586472switch 2 has nogaems
what a retard
>>736586049Lazy bait, but whatever.Only the PS5 is huge, ugly and a nightmare to open.Dunno what was Sony thinking when all their consoles, except PS3 fat and super slim, look cool, have a proper size given their release year and for the most part are ok-ish to dissemsamble and repair
>>736587841It has them but ultimately it's pointless since you can perfectly emulate them and even run them better on a PC.Even a ps3 has more value than a switch since the overwhelming majority of ps3 games cannot be flawlessly emulated on PC no matter what fags on /v/ try to convince you of.The switch does have portability going for it I guess.Wait nevermind I just remembered Stean Deck exists.
Not all modern consoles.
>>736586049>snes mini>nes miniFunny, but yeah the PS5 is real ugly and has no games. Idk how it sold so well. Fucking scalping hype.
>>736588327It really is a little too big though. It isn't quite a true handheld. It's bulky and uncomfortable to hold after a little while.
>>736586049PSQuinP
>>736588383Lol weak faggotIt's a true handheld through and through
>>736588417If it doesn't fit into your pocket then it's not a true handheld.t. pspkek
>>736588417Can you put it in your pocket? No, it requires a case to travel with. It is a highly transportable console, not so much portable.
>>736588327For supposed "handheld" it is fucking xbox hueg. Nobody is lugging that massive cafeteria tray around. I honestly don't understand why they even bothered putting a screen on it.
>>736588465Get bigger pockets
>>736588383I have very weak arms and wrists and I can hold a S2 just fine, same with the Deck
>>736588327Switch 2 is not a handheld, it's a tablet pretending to be a successor to the 3ds.
>>736588514yeah, you can hold it fine in your lap while sitting in a chair with your neck bent constantlywhy bother when you can sit in a chair and be looking at a tv at eye level?
>>736588486That's not what portable means
>>736588575by that logic a ps5 is portable
>>736588549That's not what I said at all, holding it normally like any other handheld is not uncomfortable, thing is not that heavy.
>>736586049That's not a console, it's a bluray player
>>736588512eh
>>736588590What tv are you gonna plug ur ps5 into at the lake poopoo head
>>736588618yes it is. quit lying to yourself, buyers remorsefag
>>736586049It's impressive because a PC of equal spec and price is twice as large.
>>736588327I'm looking forward to buying the Switch 2 Lite. The OG Lite's size waa almost perfect, I don't give a shit about the dock at all. I've never even connected it to a TV.
>>736588590No, it doesn't have a video output(no feedback to the user), no power source, and no way to input commands without an external controller.Portable is something that can be carried around and when deployed it is fully usable.
>>736588679Checkmate.
>>736588679I don't associate video games with being out of the house or in public. I'd rather look at the scenery or do something worthwhile. The two are entirely separate things.
>>736588738>moving goalposts
>>736587841>B-B-B-BUT NINTENDO
>>736588725so what is your point? it's still not a handheld that can be shoved into your pocket or anything like that. it requires as many carrying accessories as a ps5 does because it's so big.
>>736586049ps5 might be the most hideous console from a desing stand point of all time
>>736588697It weights less than a kitten, like holding a bag of beans, it's not that heavy
>>736588850That would be N64
>>736586049GPUs and consoles are so powerful now, they need better cooling solutions to prevent them from melting
>>736588843>requiresWell not necessarily, you can just throw it in a handbag or a purse, it will get filled with dust but that's not the point.
>>736588862i dont want to hold a bag of beans while i game
>>736588910That got me thinking, why do processors need to be smaller? They already have all that space available so why not make slightly bigger transistors easier to cool down
>>736588913Oh yeah, that's right, you carry a purse around. Shucks, I should've known.
>>736588910>>736588958I know technically newer systems can calculate a lot more for any given wattage but it's insane to me how little electricity consoles used to require
>>736588383Good thing it's a hybrid and not a handheld then. Wait for the Switch 2 Lite.
>>736588575>Green Latrine>it's pinkWTF??
>>736588958Because covering a longer distance has costs in heat and time.
>>736589043so if im going to dock it to play third party why wouldnt i just use another better console?
>>736589043>fell for the marketingIf the Switch 1 & 2 were hybrids the dock would have a GPU inside.
>>736586049>(You)
>>736589335if the switch is a home console too then shit a PSP is as well since it had a native dock, but we all know that they are all just handhelds that you can hook up to a tv
>>736587841none of them do.what's your fucking point?
>>736587841Mindbroken
>>736589680>>736589650The point is that there is always some broken tendie behind claims like that, then they proceed to tell you how their exclusives are worthy yet arent any better.
>>736589552>hes still trying this cope not even sony is this retarded, they call the PSP a handheld
>>736589736correct. the Switch however is neither a handheld nor a hybrid
>>736589736they are both handhelds first and foremost, and home consoles second. technically the switch/psp can be docked, but they are built and designed as a handheld device. the switch /psp simply are not as capable power wise as their home counterparts/competitors.
>>736589721tendies living rent free in your mind my man t. ps2 afficianado
>>736589809no you're a retard because the psp is not a hybrid, never was and it never will be
Don't mind me, just carrying my "handheld"!
>>736589935so how is the switch a hybrid then
>>736589983it was designed to be a hybrid, marketed as a hybrid console, comes with its dock, and using said dock gives it increased performance the psp was designed, marketed, and sold as a handheld, when you buy a PSP you get just a PSP, the "dock" for the psp is extra shit using your retarded logic the game boy is a hybrid because you can buy a bunch of extra shit to hook it up to play on a tv screen
>>736590193a laptop has increased performance when its plugged into a wall, does that make it a home console?
>>736590193if being a hybrid takes so little effort then your laptop including MacBooks are also a hybrids because it has an HDMI port and your SoC works at 100% capacity when charging
>>736590346>pulls out an HDMI and plugs it into the laptopCringe, don't you have Netflix?
>>736590210>>736590346thanks for proving how stupid your PSP argument is
>>736590480no it proved how stupid your argument was. if plugged in and having more power means its a hybrid then a laptop is a hybrid
>>736586049I dislike the form and size of the PS5, but the Series X is a surprisingly compact console. It's smaller than marketing images tend to make it look. While also being slightly more powerful than its most direct competitor
>>736590538Well, the switch also has detachable controllers, guess that makes it a hybrid
>>736590480Is your iPhone a hybrid that becomes a desktop PC when you connect it to your TV via usb c?
>>736590562It's insane that I like everything the Series X does way better than the PS5 except for the fact it has no fucking exclusives.
>>736588575Portable is relative to the item itself.
>>736590562If only it had even a single fucking game.
>>736590728but it does have games?
>>736590808List 5 (five) current gen Xbox exclusives. Obviously games that are also on PC are not exclusives.
>>736586049Tech has become so inefficient and power hungry that it needs to be huge to not overheat.
>>736590892so why are you playing cyberpunk on your switch 2 if its also on PC? same reason xbox people do.
>>736590728It has plenty of games. Not exclusives, there's little to no reason to recommend a Series X if you have a decent PC which outputs to a big TV well enough, but still. I have a PS5 and a PC too but I still game on the Series X more than anywhere else for various reasons, such as controller preference and the UI and how good Xbox back compat is.
>>736590959this PS5s will literally melt and brick themselves, its why sony had to push a firmware update to throttle the consoles performance
>>736591007Because they can't afford better?
>>736590892just because all of its "exclusives" are on PC & PS5 doesn't mean it doesn't have thousands of first party and third party games.95% of the stuff you're playing on PC can be found on Xbox
>>736591067maybe. so what? lots of people like third party on consoles
>>736586049Heat
>>736590562Series x hardware is great but Phil somehow fumble
>>736586049to connect to the 5g
>>736591374Consoles don't connect to 5G mobile networks, and if they did it's not something which would add bulk to them.
>>736588383It is a handheld. What you mean to say it isn't quite portable.A switch 2 is too big for pockets. It needs its own purse to travel around. And once you're out and about with it you get to play for 2 hours. So now you need a charger to pack along too. You're not far off from a series s with a power cable and a portable monitor at that point. Or a gaming laptop.
>>736592524yes indeed.
>>736592524Yeah that would be a portable Xbox, like those accessories for the PSOne, gosh I always wanted them, my uncle got them few years later, that didn't stop me tho, I had a Handycam with video-in(yeah, those exist) and I could play anyywhere*
>>736588806>>736589680Stuck a nerve?
>>736586472SPBP
>>736593894has many games
>>736586049Series S is small but its heavy as fuck, somehow more than my OG Xbox,Fat PS3 and other consoles ive got. I got it recently and was suprised how heavy it is lol.
>>736594016Struck a nerve?
>>736594232no, you just happen to be wrong
>>736591207>lots of people like third party on consolesi wouldnt call them people
>>736594343Not an argument
