I'd definitely take a handheld, but any device will have a very long way to go to get even a few light years near the Switch and a long way to go even to catch up with the Steam Deck & Rog Ally. If I could play my owned digital games on there (not just game pass) then would be very likely to get one.

the idea of playing all different generations of Xbox games definitely excites me. but you're right, there is a lot of competition there...if it would be its own platform to have its own games that would make another level of beast on its own merit, but I don't know if that's what they're going for and honestly I don't think they even need to do that.

I hope Deadpool and Wolverine will feature characters that really add spice and interest to the story. I would like to see someone new who would bring their own unique atmosphere to the film. Maybe someone unexpected from the comics who hasn't appeared on the big screen before. It's always interesting to see what characters are chosen for new stories.

I think you posted this in the wrong thread bub

Well nothing revealed on that today despite rumours. I do think one is in the works but guess not ready to reveal yet.

"We’re building plans for the 25th anniversary of Halo and Xbox," Microsoft confirms in a new interview. "We have such a rich heritage, you have to celebrate that."

A big Microsoft milestone is coming up for its gaming division.

…we tentatively believe based on our sources to include at least both a traditional-style successor to the Xbox Series X, and Microsoft's first real foray into Xbox handheld gaming with its own take on the Steam Deck.

That's definitely it.

I used to be optimistic about the future of Xbox hardware but now I don't care at all.

Competition is good so hopefully this happens.

I agree competition is good, but Xbox has had enough chances at redemption in my eyes. Switch 2 and Ps5 is enough competition for hardware. All of Xbox can crash and burn for all I care.

How? It's pretty much just an ASUS ROG Ally running a lite version of Windows with physical Xbox buttons... The handheld boots directly into the Xbox app which connects to all other PC storefronts like Steam, EGS and GOG.

The name is terrible. Who thought "Rog Xbox Ally X" is a good name to sell this product.

The handheld looks a bit bulky compare to PlayStation 5's handheld companion.

Because it's literally an ASUS ROG Ally with an Xbox sticker on it...

If they ban via hardware ID then Sony will also have to ban the ASUS ROG Ally.

If that's what it takes, then they'll do it.

@Gee I guess I was wrong. Unless Sony says otherwise, it'll be possible. Assuming this is a reliable source, of course.

The article title is straight clickbait. It's not just GoW, but basically all PlayStation ports available on PC.

Look, the Xbox Ally is simply a handheld PC that runs Windows... It's no different than buying a Dell laptop running Windows.

Do you guys also want Sony to ban their PC ports from Dell laptop owners who have purchased these ports on Steam (or EGS, or GOG)?
