Absolutely fricking not, the way Xbox has been for a long time it's going to be a dedicated Game Pass handheld. I already have that, it's called a Retroid Pocket.
To be clear for the eslanons this anon started laughing so uncontrolablly when his Steam Deck arrived in the mail; he began shitting himself until his bowels were completely empty. This is a serious condition and he is most likely hospitalized.
>steam deck is 720-800p you dope
Anon I... I don't even hate Deck or anything, I have one, but the community recommended configs for recent games are running them at 480p usually.
don't neglect to mention you're running things at 480p for "free performance" with upscaling, it's how i run stranger of paradise at 1440p even on my desktop (run it at 1080p instead and upscale it with AMD shit)
windows phones blew absolute fricking ass, there was so little interest in the idea that the default web browser was the best one (there was exactly one other browser in the app store with a squirrel icon), sideloading apps from other platforms was incredibly convoluted if not impossible and it was part of their attempt to have windows as a "unified platform" with windows 8 looking the same across mobile and desktop to desktop's detriment
Xbox is not the place for physical games. Xbox brand is toxic and has terrible executives. No, I wouldn't buy an Xbox handheld or Xbox product, period.
Don't forget Xbox products have 2 types of advertising on the UI >HEY THIS IS GAMEPASS, GET IT >THIS PUBLISHER PAID MONEY TO TELL YOU THIS GAME IS OUT
And they are all over the Xbox UI. Like you buy a $500 Xbox Series X or a potential $400 Xbox handheld and you get these ads. Like getting slapped in the face constantly.
as someone who owns a series x and has played Xbox since the first console released, absolutely not. I can’t name 5 games worth owning an Xbox for and I’m not even sure there are 5 exclusives total
Maybe, but I already have a steam deck. I would be fricking stoked if they made some type of windows game mode (call it windows Xbox or some stupid shit) so I could put it on my deck and have easier access to all my games.
Yes, but only if it has a good battery life. Ally and Steam Dick have shit battery life, so good battery life would be the obvious edge it could have over the competition.
I already play all the time Xbox cloud with my phone attached to a gamepad, why not?
Their app fricking sucks, but using browser is almost perfect with few delays here and there.
They have more potential than that shitty Playstation Portal.
I’ve wanted an Xbox handheld ever since the 360 but nowadays it would suck ass cause it would just be an Xbox Steam Deck-like device instead of a dedicated handheld with its own library like the DS or PSP
>No physical games
Nope.
zero reasons for playing on a handheld and same goes to the goycattle conzoomers here too
Absolutely fricking not, the way Xbox has been for a long time it's going to be a dedicated Game Pass handheld. I already have that, it's called a Retroid Pocket.
>Would you buy an Xbox
No.
I would just get a Steam Deck
My OLED model came in the mail yesterday and I'm tickled shitless by it. What a great screen.
Too bad so many games are stem deck compatible. Even some shitty 2g games will crash on it, and Palworld always crashes on mine after about 45 mins

>eslanons
*BR huemonkeys and people that literally do not know any English
You don't have a phone? Basically any half decent phone is OLED and the quality is much better
Using my AMOLED phone for Tumblr and Twitter scrolling is a different animal from using my OLED game machine to play vibeo gaens
no
series s handheld is very obvious at this point, i wonder how small they could make it though.
series s has max power draw of 100W, no chance incel
>handheld
What is this, an Asian commuter train?
Why would I? Every other company already jumped onto the Steam Deck knock off train. If I needed PC games on the go, I'd buy one of those.
It will have xbox mode/windows mode probably.
Zero reason to, Xbox hasn't released a good exclusive in years... and it's all on PC anyways.
No. The Steam Deck ain't worth having over a PC why the frick would the handheld version of an inferior PC be a better option?
underage on Ganker begging their parents to get them one since it all they could realistically afford
Xbox would make that shit the same price as a Xbox. making that shit still not worth it.
okay well literal morons have an unsatisfiable urge to consume the dumbest fricking shit
If it costs less than 400 bucks maybe, more than that, no.
Depends on cost and how it accesses my game library. If I can buy a game and use it on pc, Xbox, and handheld without paying extra, sure.
If i can put steamos in it maybe. I‘ve never had an xbox console so i would need to build up my library again and i don‘t care for gamepass either
Sure, if it can play new gen stuff and has actual games, otherwise I'm rather buy a second hand Switch
It'd probably be the same power as the Series S so for new games it'd run at 900p 30fps.
Is that bad?
Not bad at all if games really do run similar to series s and battery life isn‘t completely terrible. But that‘s a big if
That‘s better than the deck
That would be 4 times better than Deck resolution-wise, hype
Steam Deck is 720-800p you dope
You cannot play new games at 800p 30fps even on lowest settings thoughever
>new games
*palworld
No, many more. I can‘t even play returnal at a consistent 30fps
>playing returnal
have a nice day and shove your steam shit up your ass homie

>source my gyatt
Nope. I already own a Switch, an iPad and a PC.
As a lover of handhelds, I trust Microsoft with one as far as I can throw them. The very notion is comedic at best.
Oh yeah, they did phones...
How did that turn out anyways? It was a collab with Nokia iirc

>Would you buy an Xbox handheld?
...Why? Just buy one of the other handheld PCs.
Presumably microsoft would sell the handheld at a loss which means performance is gonna be better for its price than other pc handhelds
>xbox console
so a Steam Deck but worse
Yes but only if they manage it to have non-shit battery life.
I got burned with Steam Deck.
If its compatible with all One and Series + backwards compatible games, then that would be definetely a tihng to consider.
Will there be exclusive games?
If it's a portable series S, day one
>x
no

So, uh, "Xbox Everywhere" would be a great tagline for a MS handheld. Maybe we misinterpreted a few things.
eeeeuw that's a MS product, enjoy your forced online/updates/MSpass/Window12 integration bullshit.

no
If it was cheaper than the Steam Deck yes

Yes, but only if it has a good battery life. Ally and Steam Dick have shit battery life, so good battery life would be the obvious edge it could have over the competition.
I’ll just wait for the Switch 2 instead
series p, gain nip market share
No.
Full backwards compatibility with 360 and original Xbox titles? Yes.
Otherwise, no.
