| zeldaring said: It depends how you look at it because within a year this will likely be very dated hardware for handheld device feel like like this should have come out in late 2023 or early 2024. in late 2025 it's not even much better then the steam deck. |
Again, if it is roughly comparably performant to the average gaming handheld device upon its release, it isn't "very dated."
The fact that a Steam Deck 2 might come out to outperform it in 2026, doesn't change that. Every single piece of computer hardware released has been outdated a year from its release date.
When the PS5/Series X released they were comparable to a mid-end gaming computer. The fact that the RTX 3090 released more than a month earlier doesn't make them "very outdated." Consoles are mid-ranged platforms of their form-factor at the date in which they release. Always have been since the invention of dedicated GPU's, always will be.
