Yeah, I'd be interested in a hybrid console too. The Switch 2 has been alright for me, but I've been disappointed by the quality of their 3rd party games compared to PS5 and PC. Recent example would be Trails in the Sky Ch1 - currently on sale for Switch 2 (and Playstation), and it performs...

I'd be interested in a new Nvidia+Sega partnered Shield console/handheld powered by RTX Spark.

Sounds like a worthwhile sidegrade to me - plus the niece happiness gains pushes the sidegrade into upgrade territory.

If MS made the Helix store tightly integrated with the new Xbox experience (games are optimized 'out of the box', seamless crossplay/crosssave, etc) and third party stores are "behind a desktop" (user has to go into desktop mode, install the launchers, install the games, properly configure -...

Looking forward to it - less so about the hardware, but more about the software. I'm hoping we're going to see a trim and fit XboxOS (Windows) that takes a lot of inspiration from SteamOS. I only ran it for a bit, but I like the direction MS is taking with the 'Xbox Fullscreen Experience' (or...

I'm looking forward to it - I've really bought into that 'SteamOS' environment (currently using a ROG Ally running Bazzite) and really wanted to replicate that experience on my desktop. I came close running various distros, but not perfect (typically my quick resume doesn't function 100% of the...

If MS can pull that off - maybe there will be a PC port at launch!

I installed it on my original Ally Z1E and am impressed by it so far, feels like a good foundation to build off of. Just being able to control so much with only the gamepad feels like a huge step compared to the old setup (lots of touchscreen navigation). I also believe it's still in alpha...

That game was a slow burn, but when it finally did get its hooks in me - it was a great experience. By the end of it, it felt like the epic Western tragedy that I was expecting. But, yeah, took me two or three attempts to get past that initial slog.

I really like that idea and it's simple enough for consumers to understand (press the 'Xbox' button to boot into game mode).

Yar, I'm worried about that too. I could see customers seeing the 'Xbox' name and figure it's the new Xbox and expecting a traditional Xbox-like experience (which it doesn't sound like it will be - at least on launch). I don't think it's going to be a huge seller with the rumored price points...

A set top box is cool (and I'd very likely pick one up), but what I'm really excited for is that controller. The trackpad is the one feature I miss most after moving to the ROG Ally. Spec-wise it seems a bit low to me too (especially the 8GB VRAM), however if they can price this right and...

Yar, agreed there. While some games do offer full KB+M support, there shouldn't be any reason the whole catalogue of games shouldn't offer it (especially if there's a PC port of the game that already has KB+M support). I'm hoping with the 'fairness' aspect of gamepad vs kbm being downplayed in...

Pretty interesting, and I'll be honest - I'm finding more and more of my gaming needs could be serviced by an APU. Heck, probably my most used gaming device is a ROG Ally. I'm just hoping, whatever the next Xbox looks like, it's more a games console than a PC. I'm finding myself more and more...

I believe I had multiple original design 360s (had to get a RROD replacement once or twice). I remember doing a 'towel' trick to temporarily fix one of my 360s and it actually worked. Only for a few weeks, mind you, but it worked. I also had a 360 'Slim' variant (or whatever they called it)...

Yeah, pretty exciting development. I picked up a ROG Ally for the Gamepass access, but ended up not resubscribing to Gamepass and just installing Bazzite because Windows was a pain to use on a handheld (a 'sleep mode' mishap nearly cooked my Ally). I'm not really feeling the urge to upgrade my...

I can't say I use my Series X much anymore (gifted it to my youngest and he enjoys a few games on it), but if the next Xbox is basically a Windows PC with a 'game mode' (ala SteamOS), I'd be on board. I already have MS new console name picked out: Xbox PC. It can act as a 'recommended spec'...

I've been using it on my ROG Ally and have been having a great time with it - it's actually made my ROG Ally my main PC lately (my Ally is a lot quieter than my desktop). I was dual booting Bazzite and Windows at one point, but (iirc) a Windows update borked my dual boot and instead of finding...

I'm all for this - hoping this will increase 'cross play + cross save' between the different platforms too.
