    I hate that Xbox is a joke now and that it’s going to die out. I hate that there is going to be less competition in the console space. I hate that Microsoft have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.

      Playstation is next; Nintendo has the securist market with its portable console.

      I would think hand helds like the steam deck would be slowly strangling it but the switch 2 sold like hotcakes.

        Nintendo has the securist market with its portable console.

        hmmmm the Steam Deck is eating away at that cake… I know my son was an avid Nintendo fan and didn’t even look at the Switch 2 because his 3 year old Steam Deck is doing everything he wants

        Nintendo has the securist market with its portable console.

        Cause they actually try to make a console that’s not just “Discount PC With Coupon For Streaming Service”.

        Even then, it’s mostly an under-powered PC that makes up the difference with a few gimmicks. Which is fine. But you’re still left asking “Why would I buy a PS6 / X-Box One+One+360Infinity when I could just get this shit on PC in another six months?” Other than tinkering with controllers, neither have done anything interesting since the Kinect flopped.

        Playstation is next;

        80% of the xbox crowd is probably gonna buy a playstation. Maybe a few will go for a PC and the rest for a switch.

        Couch goblins that look into the future when considering the cost of a console might find the steam machine worthy when it releases.

        We seriously need to get open source PC console community-made offerings up and running. To share the load of building that up. Community built up competitors and Valve will be enough.

        Still I also would like to see some new players come in too.

        Are there any companies that would do well in gaming? What if AMD made their own console?
