    They’re just undercooked PCs with artificial software restrictions now. Except for the Switch, which is an undercooked TV streamer chip from 2015, also with artificial software limitations.

    Hasn’t been anything exciting about consoles in over a decade.

        I absolutely dig the Steam Deck, but it’s not a console in that regard, it’s not software restricted in any way, it’s just a portable computer with a convenient frontend. But… man, I’m more likely to pick it up than to play on my gaming rig these days, even though both can hook up on the TV. Handhelds are just great.

      Eh, the Switch form factor is pretty cool. But PC handhelds have surpassed it, so I just want the exclusives to work on hardware I can buy off the shelf.

        I will say, going back to it I appreciate how light it is in comparison. It’s a shame the games feel overpriced compared to PC and rarely get discounted

      Xbox 720 is going to blow the PS9 out if the water. I seen the commercials, its got Ultra Blast Processing and 7k petaflops of GPU power. Ad said so.
