I don't think this guy understands what innovation is. The Steam Deck and Wii aren't particularly innovative. The Wii is a bit unusual, but pointer controls didn't stick (though gyro controls have, in a minor way). The Steam Deck is just a regular handheld but with an x86 CPU.

I don't think people are going to buy small consoles to play big games. And a powerful handheld is overkill to play small games. If people want to play small games, they use the phone they already have.

The handheld console sweet spot is slightly more powerful than the Switch. But the Switch's selling power isn't its hardware, but its library. Nintendo games have selling power. And even outside of that, the Switch has a surprisingly large library of third-party games like Skyrim and Doom. But if people really want a console that will do everything, they'll get a Deck, because I know you won't be able to do whatever you want on Microsoft's handheld.

Leave it to microsoft to join the party years late with a product that completely misses the point of what makes the original to their copy actually popular

I mean Nintendo's doing it. Sony's doing it. PC is doing it. They're the only ones not doing it!

What does Xbox even have that I couldn't already play on my PC? Halo's dead; there's no reason to humor Xbox as a console anymore. Microsoft's still-surviving exclusives are all mid; so really, why would I get one of these when I could just play on my PC, or pick up a Steam Deck to have access to my PC's library?

Nintendo got exclusives and its only way to play them is on a switch.

Steam Deck can do everything and is just overkill till today.

Microsoft Xbox Handheld... ehh? It got... nothing of them both lol

The success of Steam Deck is the reason.

I hope whatever they come up with is linux-compatible so it can work on the Steam Deck. I know it almost certainly won't be, but it'd be nice.
