Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience

Instead we get a less bad version of windows, that will likely be inferior to its direct competitor anyways(steamOS). I see no reason to believe it wont be.

Though not officially announced, signs of that are appearing already, including a hint or two in the speech of the conference.

Oh and about the potential for native Xbox games running on PC handhelds… God i hope youre right.

Is it good enough for you? Is that why you will get it? Where are these people you speak of…?
I highly doubt there are enough people that want that super particular use case to make this particular handheld stand out at all, especially ones that didnt meet their needs with another handheld already.

I hate live service games and Windows, so no, this device is not for me, but those are also the most popular games on the market by a wide margin. Despite how awful the Windows experience is today, there’s still one Windows handheld sold for every two Steam Decks. That situation can only improve with a version of Windows designed for handhelds.

I see your point with the millions that play those specific games, maybe i am just disappointed by microsoft only doing the bare minimum when they are forced to.
This is at least progress
