lol fat chance Microsoft is capable of launching a new hardware line and having the competency and staying power to be sucessful in 2025, maybe 5 years ago, but not today.
They couldn’t do it 5 years ago either.
10 years ago Michaelsoft launched their own VR headset, which was such a flop you probably don’t even know it happened.
I think that was the thing that gave us Young Conker, ms really knows how to use those IPs it has.
- 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 sure MS will shoot themselves in the foot.
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.
Just a bunch of what ifs… that all hinge on Microsoft not doing bare minimum to get a product out.
It probably won’t look exactly like this, but could you imagine if it did?
yeah. its looks awful.
Shut up Ars
Good luck guys, do let us know how it turned out.
That title alone is all the proof i need.
Clickbait so it’ll never live up to the claim.
