I'm envisioning full cloud gaming. Games are all hosted in Azure. Device is just a thin client, and it becomes useless if you stop paying your subscription. Of course, it'd already be useless on flights and anywhere with spotty internet.

Has that perfect MS blend of being built on Windows, requiring a subscription fee, and totally missing the whole point of being a handheld.

If true, completely defeats the purpose IMO. Most of the playtime on my Nintendo Switch has been on flights or trains.

There's still a market for that. People liked the Nvidia Shield and that's more or less what it is afaik.

Honestly people didn’t care about Shield. It was a hardware show-off on Nvidia’s side and it didn’t bat an eye except for the spec lovers and movie geeks.

Just route it through your phone's access point.
