I agree. It's all about getting folks on their platform ie Windows. It's not about console sales anymore.

I believe Sarah Bond's backwards compatibility team is trying to get all their games across Xbox playable on all device like the Xbox ROG Ally and future systems. It will likely take some time, but would be really neat if they can pull it off. 

We're at this again it seems - this is something that competes with Valve and Steam, not Nintendo and Switch.

Valve is just about to release VR with SteamOS on ARM. They are Beta testing Steam on Apple MACs (ARM). There is (very believable) rumor they might be working on Steam for Android. MS is trying with Windows on ARM (so far only on Snapdragons).

I see this as prelude to at least cold war, and MS does not want gaming to move away from Windows and let SteamOS become main operating systems for gaming hardware.

MLID thinks the Rumored PS5 handheld... will be almost twice as strong as the Xbox Rog Ally X.

He recammends getting a Switch 2 instead of of the xbox handheld (for the here and now).... or waiting for the Playstation handheld...
unless you really have a specific reason for the xbox one (he doesn't see the value in it, I guess).

Well, given that GPD WIN 5 is 1.5x performance of XBOX ALLY X, both running at 25W, and 2x when its running at 35W (and 2.5x when running at 45W), and that going from 4nm to presumed combined 2nm/3nm of PS6P would put that 35W performance into 25W bracket, yeah, that's fair "at least" assumption, especially for raster, given that PS6P will have much more advanced architecture than GPD WIN 5, though I think RT performance will be way, way better.

Of course, I'm hoping that Sony, and future "portables" manufacturers, will let them run on higher wattages, at least 35W.

When the PS6 handheld will release, there will be also stronger "Windows/Xbox" handhelds. You could never buy a "Windows/Xbox handheld" because it's always weaker as those in the future then. 

I also don't understand the logic to buy a Switch 2 instead for those years until a PS6 handheld releases. If I want a Switch 2, I don't need to replace it with a PS6 handheld nor do I need an Xbox Ally now. If I don't want a Switch 2 for 80% of the games people buy a Switch 2 for, I can't use it as alternative to a Steam deck, Xbox Ally or whatever. 

Sure, Switch 2 has Cyberpunk and other games, but it won't get many other PC games the other handhelds have and the majority of games people buy a Switch 2 for won't release on other handhelds like Steam Deck, Xbox Ally or a PS6 handheld. 

I have a Switch 2 and there's no other system I can replace it with regardless of the price and power. But it also can't replace my gaming PC or couldn't replace my "PC handheld" if I needed one. 

To me the question is if you should buy an Xbox Ally or an alternative from the other "PC handhelds" if you want to have one now but not if you should rather wait for a PS6 handheld probably releasing in a few years (then you can also wait a few years for stronger handhelds even without a PS6 handheld) or to buy a Switch 2. 

Can we stop giving MLID air-time? The guy isn't a leaker, he just spreads any and all rumours for Youtube views to make money.

Case in point: When he propagated a fake slide that was made by a group called the "Silicon Gang" to troll outlets like his... (And he has shared trolling fake stuff from Silicon Gang on numerous occasions, hilariously enough, the guy is an idiot to fall for it more than once.)

Sales and fun games are what matter, not specs.

This, Moore's Law is Dead is a hack and not a reliable source.
