Sony hate thread

So a better/worse PSPortal?

I bet it'll be an Android Windows ARM device that will be underpowered compared to a mid range Chinese phone from one year prior

Hey, you can’t blame me for not knowing about a three minute old article

But that’s really interesting. A handheld Series S that’s even more user-friendly than a Steam Deck could have a lot of potential, and you’d basically have a portable 360 as well.

Forgive my ignorance as I don't have a Steam Deck, but what are people's problems with it? If it's having to remap controls for older games that didn't have native support, it's not like that would be a major selling point for MS's handheld instead, to play 15+ year old stuff.

They've been hinting for years that they're going to make a handheld and never do, but swapping to a handheld console would allow Microsoft to start the next gen while not starting the next gen and give them the ability to jettison the Series consoles without fully abandoning them.

Rumours from a year or so ago were that Microsoft would with with NVidia on their next console. That rumour could have been referring to a handheld, as Nvidia pretty much own the handheld market.

Microsoft's surface is a pretty snazzy tablet. Rumours from donkeys ago said that the next Xbox will be designed and made by the surface team.

I have no links for those rumours but they are/were floating around gaming sites a while back.

No blame here, brother.

Microsoft have always had a multitude of ways of dominating the industry, and they fail each time because they are allergic to success. That or the other departments don't want Xbox-and-the-technicolour-dreamcoat to outshine their brothers.

They have strong options with this handheld but have to be careful with Steam. If they see the Xbox Handheld as a competitor, Microsoft won't be able to make it a windows machine. If it is a windows machine, it will play steam games and PSN games (lol).

My thoughts are that it will be a streaming device to stream gamepass on, with very bare onboard power to maybe run emulators.

Microsoft has been promising handhelds since forever. Any rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. I do not doubt that they have been working on one but it runs on the same problem their home consoles run into: MS does not understand consoles and how to make them work.

Why would you buy a handheld Xbox and not just a PC handheld? The Steam Deck is already basically retard-proof.

Ah, there lies the fault in your thought process. It is like 90% retard-proof but not fully retard proof, which is almost entirely the console audience. Obtaining one online instead of in stores is already enough of a filter that gives an Xbox handheld an advantage for that audience.

That is true actually. The Xbox and Playstation audience is frequently unbanked due to poor credit and a lack of stable income.

Nothing is worse than a portal. It's as much use as a chocolate fireguard or an ashtray on a motorbike.

Eh, comically large shader cache folders that can only be deleted if you go into KDE mode isn't very retard-proof to me.

So a PS Portal, cause even when they have two homeworks in front of them, they'll just copy the wrong one.

Despite the progress Valve made on Proton, there are still a vast swath of games which simple don't work (such as due to anti-cheat) or where significant manual configuration is required, which is often beyond the consideration of your average gamer. For example, Vermintide was a pain in the ass to get working on Linux for me, and even then I can only play coop if I am playing as host.

Official Sonynigger employees sold his account info, then banned him for being logged on multiple PS5s.

Best move is to wait until January and see what AMD releases. RDNA4 is coming out Q1 next year and it's supposed be budget-focused so it's rumored to cap out at 600 USD and there'll probably be some 300-400 USD cards too.

If you're willing to buy used, pretty much everything 3080 and up is still worth using if you can get it for a good price.

If you don't care about ray tracing and game at 1080p, the 2070 Super is still great. 2070 Super does ray tracing fine, I'm just really anal about my GPU and CPU temperatures.

Ah, there lies the fault in your thought process. It is like 90% retard-proof but not fully retard proof, which is almost entirely the console audience. Obtaining one online instead of in stores is already enough of a filter that gives an Xbox handheld an advantage for that audience.

Consoles are, in fact, not 100% retard proof. They're 95% retard proof. You still need to know how to read to use them reliably. You'd be surprised how many people manage to fuck consoles up.

Or some games that have to rebuild the shaders on launch every single time

Don't get me wrong, Proton has come a long way, but still has some stuff in need of more polishing

Maybe? If not then maybe mods will restore the censorship unless Nexus takes it down. Then Based mods will have to save the day.

Btw Shift UP is also opening a branch in Los Angeles next year. What could go wrong?

ofc Soyn couldn't just leave them alone. they HAD to make them cuck somehow

Shift Up went public, of course they would open a branch in California and get a Netflix deal.

I don't believe that even Sony would sell account information. I do believe that this loser would sell his own account and then get banned and try and pin it on Sony.

They were perfectly willing to take away Helldivers 2 from paying customers and keep the cash. Treating them like they are honest businessmen is beyond naive.
