Disagreed, having access to steam games and storefront on a powerful gaming device optimized for gaming would be insane.

Well that's what Xbox gaming hardware is going to become. All the signs are present now.
The one thing diehards need to accept is that these systems are going to be sold for at-profit costs because MS is not going to subsidize the hardware anymore like a traditional console platform holder. I'd expect any future Xbox gaming hardware with baseline specs equivalent to a Sony or Nintendo console to be at least $200 more expensive than the console equivalent, likely more depending on things like form factor and upgradability options.
That's the part diehards might still seem confused on, because they will still associate Xbox as a console instead of a gaming PC brand.
And a gaming PC would be pretty cool, if it offered good Performance, since it is just for gaming.That's called a gaming pc
Imagine getting a Xbox and it can natively run steam and different storefronts, it will be insane in general. It literally would be nice for consumers. That's it.Download a custom build of windows that removes all the bloat
guys never heard of a steam deck
“I’ll never frown on having more options on where I can play my games”
…except when it’s a Sony product
he was just saying a ps5 pro was unnecessary…
Sony: We are all about supporting PC!
Xbox: We identify as PC now
Sony: PC? Never heard of it.
Xbox: We identify as PC now
Sony: PC? Never heard of it.
So basically a wolf in sheeps clothing.
I don’t think Sony is that careless.
Like I said, Microsoft is a direct competitor to Sony in the gaming industry. They openly declared their intentions to Sony.
Which I imagine will fail HARD, since they'll have to sell it at a high price. But It'll need to be clearly more powerful than what a normal console would do in 2026, while also competing with PCs that are $1,500 and up.
My assumption is it'll cost between $799 and $999.
This isn’t happening like at all. You can’t just grap thousands of games from steam and port to an Xbox just like that. Come on guys can we stop we delusional takes
Wrong. It will have just as much telemetry if not more as windows.Download a custom build of windows that removes all the bloat
I think they want to go the Steam Deck route. Maybe this time it connects to the TV like the Nintendo Switch. I think Phil has been dropping hints about a portable Xbox for some time.

While Phil Spencer is an admirer or the Lenovo Legion Go, he knows there is work to be done if Xbox wants to enter the Steam Deck world.

Sounds like a horrible strategy. There's no way they will be able to compete with the SteamDeck 2. Considering price and availability to Steam.
Why? lol
Sony fucked themselves and it's really hilarious to watch. Let's see, what are they're going to do about it. Twitter & media is going to be unbearable.
If they can find a way to make that happened it would be amazing though, that's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying it's happening, but I'm saying how nice it would be for people using that device.
