Is this xbox ally shit a mini computer like the deck, or is it a literal xbox that only runs xbox trash?

>>715527938 (OP)
>unlimited games
only true incels and pajeets care about this
most people just don't have enough time in the day to be able to consume slop endlessly, this is partially why all pc gamers are incels too because they can pirate any game made in the last 30 years
between work, other irl responsibilities and shit most adults can allow themselves to selectively interact with things they find appealing, what's the point of "unlimited games" if 99% of that doesn't interest you at all
this cope that it allows you to broaden your horizons is an incel thing because it just means that you have run out of thigns you want to play but you are conditioning with forcing slop down your throat because you are actually paying for the service already

>>715528230
>shit a mini computer like the deck
You were saying?

>>715528267
>what's the point of "unlimited games" if 99% of that doesn't interest you at all
So you can try a bunch of them and find the ones you like?

>>715528267
Adult here with a full time job. Can confirm. I only ever have one single player campaign game and one multi-player game in my rotation. I don't have the ADHD to hop between multiple games, nor do I have the time after a full day of work. So I play a couple of hours of the single player game and do a couple of matches of the online multi-player game to get that competitive itch. Having access to unlimited games is worthless to me. What would matter is the actual games available, and even then with how much time I have available it's much more cost effective to just buy the game I'm interested in then pay for a subscription to play it.

>>715527938 (OP)
it doesn't even take 10 games for the Switch 2 to become that expensive. 512GB of memory is $100 and a second controller is another $80. that's already almost $700 before you pay for Nintendo Online or any additional games.

and if you buy the Deluxe Edition of anything for it's Season Pass, your $80 game just became a $100+ game. so you could only really buy 3 or 4 games before breaking the $1100 mark, which again is before you pay for Nintendo Online.

>>715528414
I hope you realize the problem here. Steam Deck is using 3x more power to render 3-5 extra frames each second. So, you're using +175% more power for just +20% more FPS at best.
It's the same shit as Steam Deck compared to it's competitors within the first 2 years. All of them used 2x-3x more power just for 5%-30% more FPS. Which was never really worth it especially considering they were twice as expensive too.
The Steam Deck beats the Switch2 in it's 100x bigger game library, game forwards/backwards compatibility, game pricing, and usability as a desktop/laptop. But claiming it's performance is relevantly better is just retarded. Steam Deck 2 will be the true competitor to Switch 2.

It lets you play games released after 2018, that's like a gen and a half worth of upgrade

This will never happen. Xbox Ally will also struggle with a fuckton of games.
The good thing is there's less than a dozen games which are actually good but are not playable on Steam Deck and/or Xbox Ally.

>>715527938 (OP)
I saw a sega game gear at a store recently and if it had been just 5 years ago I would have reacted with amazement with how huge and bulky it was. Now it doesn’t even register in my mind how big it is because handhelds are fucking huge again

You can play games on the go

I'll stick with my Deck and eventually Deck 2

The same applies to Xbox Ally, retard. You're making non-arguments.

>>715532000
The funny thing is that the Switch 2 can't run new games

Redditors don't understand regional pricing so they took the price leak and converted.

>>715532120
>The same applies to Xbox Ally
So it's going to be slower than the last gen Ally? Because that can run Oblivion at 1080p 60fps without upscaling and framegeb

I held off buying a rog ally x and will get this instead.

>>715532000
You now realize that you're arguing against paid shills.

>>715532556
Are you saying every single game released after 2018 is playable on Ally?

>>715532718
On the last gen one? You could probably find a few exceptions, although I can't think of any. Also there will be no games that run as poorly as the Steam Deck runs AAA games

However this thread is about the next gen Ally, which will run everything after 2018 without exception

That's true. I'd spend it shitposting on /v/ and not ever actually playing games

also gotta correct myself it wasnt this one specifically it was the already existing rog ally.

maybe the xbox one is better. dunno.
xbox also means that there will probably be units at electronics stores to check out so I would do that.

I have a z1 extreme and an xg mobile I paid 2000$ for brand new.

I'm set for basically forever. Even if I didnt have the egpu theres no point in spending thousands of dollars to upgrade to something barely better even for those of us with money to blow.

Dumbass, if it was $1000 before sales tax in the US, it would be selling for the equivalent of AT LEAST $1250 in Europe, because their sticker prices always include sales tax. Do you not understand that this $1050 figure from Europe already includes 21% sales tax? Do you know how numbers work?
