Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! Daemon is away at gamescom latam in Brazil, so Max is sitting in the host's seat this week. Joining him are Ryan McCaffrey from Podcast Unlocked, and Jada Griffin from Nintendo Voice Chat. This week the crew wonders where Xbox's handheld is, and what would gamers want to see first: a Nintendo Switch 2, an Xbox handheld, or maybe a new PlayStation Vita?

Nintendo thrives on game sales so to have backwards compatibility they will leave to much money on the table.

It's funny how so many of these jokers downplayed the Switch and said the future is all about power, power, power. They still talk about the Switch as if it is somehow behind the X Box, PS5, and PC ecosystem when it is the best gaming platform of this generation. Where everyone else has stumbled with out of control, ballooning budgets, dumbed down game designs desperate to appeal to the widest audience possible in hopes of recouping those astronomical costs, and use of tech that never seems to go beyond, "well, it looks prettier", Nintendo has delivered a steady stream of amazing exclusives throughout this generation that quite simply makes the competition, with only a few exceptions, look absolutely pathetic. What can Microsoft offer on a handheld better than Nintendo? It won't be the games, that's for sure.

Xbox is struggling to sell their home consoles and you think they should go into the handheld market, a market that Sony themselves failed in and left? What will be the selling point of the Xbox handheld especially when PC handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, etc. are there in the market.

@srauhala5 Ай бұрын

Handhelds of today are way different than Sony's handhelds back in the day. Today's handhelds can play the same games that you have on your console/PC while those back in the day mostly had different versions of game or handheld specific games that you bought sperate from your console. The handheld PCs are great but like PCs they can be finicky and takes some PC knowledge to get games to run properly or to get Gamepass on them (Steamdeck). Microsoft's handheld would likely be console-like where you can run the same games you already own with a turn on-and-play experience without worrying about drivers, optimization, etc. Also, like with all their hardware, Microsoft will subsidize it which will probably make it cheaper than most of the others on the market.

@redring4083 Ай бұрын

@@srauhala5 that is incorrect. The SEGA Nomad was literally a portable SEGA Genesis. The GBA got ports of SNES games, PSP got ports of PS1 games, etc. Today's handhelds play the home console/PC games on much lower settings. The experience is not the same. Also the Microsoft handheld will be able to access digital copies of the games. What about people who buy physical copies of Xbox games? People are not buying Xbox home consoles. The last thing Microsoft needs to do is to enter the handheld market.

In alignment with Microsoft's grand plan; it makes ZERO sense to release a handheld or a hybrid console. Their goal is to have everything they offer in the Cloud and be only accessible via subscriptions. They only made consoles this pat generation; to appease their console fans; but also to get everyone used to the idea that Cloud gaming is the only way to go. This was even stated during the Xbox One launch when they initially made it an always online DRM console; but changed it due to backlash. They never gave up on the idea to not give you full access to the games you buy and the subscription model is the best way for them to do it. So if they make some sort of handheld; it will be like the PS Portal.

This show is such a false narrative, PS5 and Xbox series aren’t next gen consoles, haven’t been for almost 4 years. If MS releases a handheld within same generation that plays Xbox series games it shouldn’t be part of next gen console watch. The only way it should be included is if it is actually part of their next generation (10th) console line. The Switch successor is really the only next generation console that is expected to happen within the next year yet you barely include Nintendo in this show that was irrelevant as soon as PS5 and Xbox series were launched. You should have used a name that could keep going even after the consoles were released instead of calling them something they are not.
