It might be as many as 25,000 concurrent Switchii
We won't know for sure until we can deliver one into the hands of scientists
Steam Deck has the same raw GPU performance per pixel at 800p as the Xbox Series X at 4K resolution

Why are you talking about a $1000+ phone when this is discussing competing products around the same price?
I'm curious how well the Web version of gamepass will work with this. If they get that down, it'll be a really nice way to save some space on the device.
I gmhave no idea why people keep saying this stuff. I actually played with a Gamegear back then (not lucky enough to be an owner since I couldn't afford one) and I don't remember it being massive at all.
If anything the screen was fairly tiny.
Also, it didn't really look anywhere near in the same league with this one in terms of comparative power.
And the overall ergonomics here seem to be a lot better too, for obvious reasons.
PC GamePass has that pesky little feature that it storages all installer files, NEVER deleting them.
As someone who's 6'4 with giant hands ...this is massively perfect for me haha. The amount of buttons does seem a lot to me as well but I'm sure like once I use it or whoever else gets it and uses it. It will feel just fine. Hopefully
wow, was this announced out of nowhere? Never seen any rumor about it.
PS5 + Steam Deck (with Windows and Game Pass) might actually be the best combo for me. 64gb version is meeehh, 256 is the one I would get (If I had the money, they sold it here and I already had a PS5 lol).

There were rumors that started last month, didn't think we would see it this soon
Indeed. I read that and my first impression is "that's not how this really works". Like you said, XSS has more GPU power per pixel @ 1080p than the XSX@ 4K. I mean it has 1/3 of the XSX GPU and usually renders @ 1080p which is 1/4 of 4k and yet it ends up with less effects and, in some cases it loses modes and features e.g Doom Eternal and the missing RT mode.
I mean it's an impressive handheld that should perform better than the PS4/X1 and it supports a much better CPU and a GPU with modern features. It's also targeting a lower resolution so it should perform very well but this particular metric is faulty. So is also saying it has the same memory as the PS5, without mentioning that it is LPDDR5 with a memory bandwidth that is less than that of the PS4s.
your phone is primarily designed to show a lot of sharp text/information at once, and is able to perform that task at high resolutions without torching the battery life. the tradeoff makes sense there.
you'll notice that games on your phone don't run at that resolution. 720p-ish is absolutely the right tradeoff for a gaming-first device.
though the 16:10 choice is certainly odd.
You are over-complicating it. It's a useful metric because it gives you an idea of what sort of games the machine is able to run.
People keep posting this and it's literally impossible right now. Nvidia cannot make X86 CPUs, and PC games don't natively support arm CPUs. Nvidia also hasn't made an appropriately low power enough SoC since the Tegra X1, which released in 2015.
Whew. Didn't know the real ones had finally arrived in this thread.
Yeah, it works work any USB-C dock and would probably work with a USB-C monitor directly
It's because it's a portable PC that is supposed to be able to play basically any game on the go.
For example, perhaps you are playing an MMO with a bunch of Hot keys. You can map 4 spells to the extra 4 paddles on the back, 4 spells to the shoulder buttons, and have 4 free face buttons for basic actions, like jumping, interacting, dodging, normal attack etc.
Having the two extra touch pads seems great too. Those will definitely allow players the ability to play any mouse-based games, like rts, fps, or strategy games. I'm excited to try this thing out and see how it all works.
Lol, how is a $1000 phone cheaper and how will it even play Steam games natively? Your post makes no sense
It makes for a great 21:9 streaming device though, I'll give you that
Nope. I'd say the way it was framed oversimplified the issue. I get what it's being communicated but I just think it's framed wrong.
This is pretty impressive spec wise. It is pretty huge as well for a handheld, but very small for a PC. Pretty cool. I have a pretty powerful PC, a PS5 and a Switch. So not really needed here. I am still hanging on to my Switch because of a few exclusives, and this doesn't really bring anything new for me, even though it is cool. Its a cool option though.
The switch and Xbox layout is what I would call uncomfortable, the sticks layout seems like it makes sense as my hands will finally have something to hold onto without just touching air
I guess it was huge because most of us where kids back in the day lol
I dunno,it might be a big audience. I haven't played on a pc in ages but I have a big library in steam. I'm tempted. Just wondering what the overhead will be and the base storage seems useless.
Ok then get a Switch and an iPhone. This is a different product category. What the fuck lol
also I'm pretty sure this has better GPU performance than iPhone 12
To me it looks more like they combined the DualShock's symmetrical joystick (which many people love) with the more natural thumb position and arc of the Xbox pad (especially for the left stick on the Xbox pad).
I'd say it looks pretty comfortable.
You'd be hard pressed to cram a 4TF SoC into that form factor and still keep it at $299. And scaling down the specs would lead to even worse performance on TVs.
It's something they could consider for a mid-gen refresh if tech advances enough to fully miniaturize the chipset.
This is a meme post, right? I can't tell on the internet anymore...
They'll probably have switch emulators running reasonably well on this by launch.
If that is what you are expecting you will be happy. All these systems run great on the AYA NEO which is underpowered compared to the Steam Deck.
