The lower-powered ROG Xbox Ally comes in at a more reasonable $599.99.

And here I am still very happy with my $350 steam deck purchase and 2tb ssd upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

After wasting an obscene amount of money on Activision Blizzard, their approach is now:

Fire most developers and have the remaining ones use AI tools to compensate.

Release all games for PlayStation and Switch (2) as well.

End Xbox hardware development and license the brand to 3rd parties who need to make money on the hardware because it’s not subsidized by Microsoft.

Make the competition, Steam Deck and even Switch 2 of all things, look like a steal by comparison.

I’m confident 80% of the people here would make better business decisions.

Xbox: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish!

Also Xbox: …wait, were we supposed to do that to other projects?

Lmao no way.

I bought the original Ally. No way I’d ever upgrade to this.

Man, after playing with the Steam Deck I have a hard time imagining any handheld PC that doesn’t have Valve’s phenomenal trackpad. It’s the only way I want to use a mouse cursor on a handheld now. So I definitely won’t “upgrade” to the Xbox-branded thing (even if I have been an “Xbox guy” since forever).

It is the one thing that frustrates me about the ally. At some point you’re forced to interact with regular windows and doing so on the Ally sucks.

I know they’re coming out with an Xbox mode that’s supposed to not suck but we’ll see.

doa

also they need to stop putting ‘X’ in their naming scheme, it’s already in ‘Xbox’. i haven’t been able to identify which xbox is which generation since the 360 because of how absurd it is
