Trash source that's gotten almost every "negative" Xbox development correct because he predicted every negative scenario there can be for Xbox.

Microsoft has the way more achievable series s BC for its handheld.

Not happening before 2030, if you're looking for a device that can play all PS5 games natively without retroactive patches.

Plausible if it releases 2030 or later. Yeah, and plays your latest games for around 45 minutes before the battery is drained, just like my ROG Ally, unless we're talking 75W batteries.

Yep. Only way to hit mass market prices while also delivering a generational leap is via two SKUs. My guess the prices are $500 and $800+.

Intel: we want to make the PS6 chip Sony: can you guarantee backwards compatibility? Intel: no Sony: alright goodbye.

In their defense, they finally learned not to fire developers... Lol

A 320 bit bus and 720GB/s would have been a game changer. Shame like the PS4 pro the BW is again disappointing.

Based on sources from my ass(ets), The Xbox portable SOC will be used in Surface, OEM laptop / handhelds. All of them will run the same OS with differences in terms of UX and OS openness. The OS on the Xbox handheld will not allow easy installation outside of stores. Xbox sells the SOC to OEMS...

If the console has support for Windows games from Steam, Xbox store, etc, then Series S BC isn't super crucial. The number of series s only games that are not on either Xbox One or PC is 0. For the case the user has bought a current gen only game on Series S, high chances they already have the...

You do realize this is a 2026 holiday device right? It'll either be on TMSC's N2 or Intel's 18A. Compare 2023's Rog Ally (around 2 teraflop desktop / console GPU equivalent) with whatever we have back in 2021, which were Vega handhelds.

It's the same SOC as the Rog Ally which I have. The device at max performs at slightly over half of my series s due to thermal throttling and bandwidth limitations.

I highly doubt this. On paper, it might be able to, but in practice, the clocks will throttle heavily. A portable advertised as having 40 teraflops dual-issue would be around the ballpark of a PS5 in practice.

I think a PS4 portable that's sold as a legacy gaming device would be successful as long as they temper expectations.
