Xbox being a disappointment? Thats par for the course. Its like watching Sega all over again except a lot more money involved.

They were expecting a Microsoft manufactured and branded device, like a Surface laptop or tablet. Microsoft is now notorious for killing hardware projects though.

Why does everybody want this Silksong game, was Hallow Knight that good? What sets it apart from the many other metroidvanias? I thought it looked like a Newgrounds flash game.

Part of it is meme status for taking so long, but Hollow Knight was an early Metroidvania that offered good exploration and fun combat. It has a lot of competition these days.

Reminder that the Steam Deck as it is only exists because Microsoft abandoned the idea of their gaming oriented Surface Book device
The Van Gogh APU in the Deck was not ordered and designed for Valve. It was a Microsoft paid for chip and Valve bought the design after Microsoft gave up on it.

SteamOS' release undercut it. Anyone dumb enough to buy one of these "handhelds" will get the regular Asus one and slap the SteamOS for an actual worthwhile experience.

what the fuck are you talking about? ive been using my deck for like 2 of 3 years now. why the fuck would i pay more for a tiny handheld than i have to for a console. the entire appeal of the xbox handheld (and steam deck too honestly) is that theyre so rich they can sell at a loss and still provide a good product.
my problems with the steam deck, come from storage problems and not being able to play shit like indiana jones and the great circle cuz the deck sucks. i was only just barely able to even get expedition 33 running well with mods installed aswell.

A portable Xbox that plays everything you can on the Series systems if you own them digitally, but in handheld form. GamePass on PC can't do that at all. It would also allow Xbox to have custom-made chips or parts that were unique to them to give them a leg up compared to what everyone is currently using and would potentially allow them to be the bougie version of the Steam Deck without being something like the MSi Claw or the Ally.
People weren't really expecting a reskinned Ally X until the leaks very recently.

Its 100 percent exactly the same as another device with only a different shell around it. All of these repurposed laptop APU handhelds can have good performance when you plug them into the wall and allow them to pull 30 or 35w, The battery life turns to shit. A true semi-custom chip with newer gen IP would actually directly compete with Van Gogh for battery life while having far better performance at a sane TDP.

You're not getting it. People want to be able to boot up the Xbox store and play their Xbox games with their friends and also have access to Windows 11 at the same time. You'd get both, not one or the other.

Nah, that's not really possible in the handheld space unless you want even worse battery life or even bigger batteries, meaning a bigger device.
Plus, the days of custom-made chips for consoles or handhelds is long gone, at best you'll get some kind of semi-custom part like what the Steam Deck uses, and even that is also used in other handhelds now.
