Looks gnarly as hell!
Here's the thing. I'd much rather buy something like this that allows me to play the library I already have on the go, rather than a new proprietary platform with its own proprietary library of games I'd have to support. I simply don't have the time or the money for that. I already game on PS5 and Switch. I'm not supporting yet another platform.
Well considering we are 3-1/2 years into the generation, nice to know that MS finally decided to join the race.
I simply don't understand why in 2023, devices such as this must continue to skimp on using OLED for the panel. It's not like OLED is new tech or anything. It's been around well over 10 years now. OLED should be so ubiquitous by now that the price difference between it and LCD should be negligible.

He's full of crap. You cannot build a PC for 600 that "rocks" the PS5 unless you find some sucker willing to sell dirt cheap out of desperation. You might can build something close to on par with PS5 for 600 but not smoke it.

Don't confuse social media backlash with the the real world. This thing will sell in droves! Everyone complained about the GTA trilogy that released not having any new features, yet it sold nearly 20 million copies. We are the minority when it comes to entirety of the gaming market. This will sell 10 million + easily.
Let's wait for sales results before making this proclamation.
How do mods work on a console? Like, can anyone use this mod? If so, how?
Awesome. I look forward to playing this in 2028.
That really is all there is to it. So simple, yet so complicated for..."cough cough" other platforms.
I've always found Forza Horizon's handling to be too "floaty". This may actually be better suited for me mechanically.
This sounds like the most "Xbox" thing ever!
But the mere fact that he's chosen to isolate those games proves that he's pushing a narrative. Who gives a crap that those games also exist on PS4? The games running on PS5 are amazing! Not one time while playing those games did I tell myself "I'd be enjoying these so much more if they didn't exist on PS4". That would just be petty nonsense.
And claiming that Spider-Man 2 looks "mid" is borderline retarded! The game looks fantasti...
Not that great either. 6 out of 10 is what I'd rate it.
One small correction, it's Ember Lab, not Ember Labs. :)
It's a great demo for a very underrated, underappreciated Nintendo IP. The Pikmin games have always been full of charm and a lot of fun to play! If you're a Switch owner I strongly suggest giving it a try! Even Pikmin 3, which was a Wii U port, is still a very solid game!
In terms of the potential revenue loss, I agree. However, any attempt to somehow shame MS for not making it available on PS5 because "it's not right" is silly. MS spent a lot of money on Zenimax, it's completely at their discretion as to what they do and do not make available to their competition.
Nintendo just doesn't need to overthink this. Here's what they need to do that will guarantee themselves success with a next gen console...
1.) Release the absolute most powerful next gen hybrid console they possibly can at a price no higher than 399.99.
2.) Don't confuse people with an overly clever name. Just keep it simple and call it the Switch 2.
3.) Make the entire Switch library fully backwards compatible.
4.) Improve the Jo...
Looks like placeholder boxart, if I'm being honest.
So they went from selling no XSX consoles to 1000. Good job MS!
