GazzaGarratt 11,261 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Microsoft are falling off a cliff in the gaming market. How can this be in any way a good idea? At $1000? If you looked at the market, you could break it by going backwards and making a unique PSP styled one that doesn't need to be anywhere near that powerful and create exclusive games for it. It looks massive and that means it doesn't feel super comfortable to play rigorous games with those controls. This is where the Switch hands down kills everything. If we think back to the King of handhelds back in the day, the ones that succeed are more fitting in your hand that will lend itself to the fun of the games, not just giving more power for better graphics. Its literally just a gaming PC and I actually think the next 5-10 years is showing more kids want to have a PC at their desk, not this. EDIT - I was typing as I was listening to it. Its £500/£800 for the handheld. I still think its too much though for a glorified mobile PC.
