So because Microsoft cares more about the OS, we can't discuss hardware, in a thread about a new piece of hardware?

Mate, I generally find you very reasonable and temperate, but you're just being a bit stubborn here and not seeing the bigger picture - it's literally not about the actual hardware, which in this case is almost completely irrelevant, it's not about how much does it sell against Switch 2 - MS has much bigger fish to fry, and that's SteamOS.

I'll repeat again - they cannot risk something like Android happening again:

"The greatest mistake ever is whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is." - Bill Gates

I do see the Steam vs Windows picture, that just wasn't really what I was referring to in my posts.

Even in terms of this larger picture, I just feel like Xbox Ally won't make a big difference either in the hardware war or the OS war. It's cool that is exists for those that want one, that just seems like it will be a very narrow slice of the audience.
