Reportedly, some third-party video game publishers aren’t sure why they should keep making and supporting games for Xbox consoles due to poor sales in Europe.

Man that article really made me think of the Larian BG3 XS debacle.

I hope this is just a bit overstated, because I don’t want to feel the pressure to buy an PS or build a PC.

I do want to buy a SteamDeck, and this only reinforces that decision though.

The pc portable space is gonna get really interesting in the next few years, the demand is clearly there

There will be more options, sure, but the fundamental limits on the performance of a handheld PC haven't really changed since the steam deck launched 2 years ago.

We need either a big battery breakthrough or a big architecture breakthrough to actually push the space forward.

There are plenty of interesting games to play that don't need super-powerful hardware, but the Deck doesn't even handle all of those flawlessly. Case in point the Persona 3 remake that had very noticeable frame rate drops on the Deck.

Steam Deck is already a prebuilt, portable computer, for the price of a console. I know I'm in the Xbox community but it's never been easier to try a PC.

I have a SteamDeck and really enjoy it. Even if you get the base model, you won’t be disappointed. I play way more of my Steam library now.

Going from Xbox to PC is way easier than leaving PS for it. If thats any consolation. I had to ditch my PS library and data.
