    • A bespoke user interface
    • A gaming-focused OS
    • [Play] More than just Xbox
    • Bring old Xbox games to PC
    • Multiple hardware tiers
    • “Made for Xbox”

    Steam Deck already does 1, 2 and 3.
    Now pair it with constant nags (Enhance your experience by signing into a Microsoft account, Subscribe to Gamepass! Have you tried Copilot???), and Microsoft’s inability to ever add anything new to their controllers (bye bye Gyro and Touchpads) and you’ve lost me.

      I’m OOTL on the news around this device, but if the joysticks that they install in the thing are just as shitty as the joysticks that they put in current Xbox controllers then there’s no chance I’d even consider buying one

    LOL. Remember the Zune? Or Windows Phone?

    What I am saying is it may be brilliant but Microsoft has a long history of being too late to the party for it to matter.

    Clickbait so it’ll never live up to the claim.
