All you did was bring up irrelevant points and argue for the sake of arguing.

Xbox having new hardware won't be relevant if the hardware is a bunch of PC configurations. This would turn it into a non factor in the hardware space. I'm not "concerned" about it though. MS can make Xbox relevant again IF they want to. But it seems they're more interested in being a dominant software publisher.

I don't trust any company. But I wouldn't call my lack of trust for Sony a "concern", because there will be other options that take advantage of Sony's or anyone's mess. It happened with X360 which I bought 2 years before PS3 and played more games on it. If Sony doesn't deliver, I'll just upgrade my PC sooner and occasionally borrow PS6 for the games I'm missing. It's a non-issue.

A bunch of PC configurations? What are you even talking about? Consoles are already a bunch of PC configurations, what do you actually think is inside them? PC parts.

The next gen Xbox Console will most likely be like the RoG Ally X in a home console form. Do you actually think because MS says its a PC/Console hybrid that its going to be a Desktop PC? 

You most likely wouldn't even tell the difference in the hardware that's out now and the next gen hardware, only difference is you will be able to download other storefronts. Its really not a hard concept to grasp. 

Consoles are unique platforms with unique and incompatible game stores. What's inside of them doesn't matter. A PS5 game won't run on PC. A PC game won't run on a PS5. Valve doesn't make money from PS software, Sony doesn't make money from Steam software. This makes them competitors.

ROG Xbox Ally is a literal PC. Xbox games won't run on it natively, PC games will. It'll sell poorly because 99%+ of PC users will choose different PC setups/configurations. I'm not asking you to "care" about that, but it does make it an insignificant hardware from a popularity perspective. Unless it remains a unique platform, Xbox will no longer have mass appeal. It'll regress to a small piece under PC, like SteamDeck.
