Yeah I agree,cutting edge handhelds aren’t really novelty anymore like they were at the time of PSP & then Nintendo Switch launches. Every other hardware manufacturer along with Steam & now M$ are gunning for it. All can be connected to big screens aswell. at $440-500 price point much better devices are available & offer all the catalog including PS Studio games & GamePass. I’d be surprised if it’s a runaway success like it’s predecessor with this kind of arrogance. Their games aren’t even as massive on production value that they start charging more than PS5 games. Anyone would rather play a GoW on Asus & then subscribe to Gamepass aswell.

Drop every freakin game right now and play Returnal.

I don't think they can get away with it. After the initial or holiday surge, this price point isn't Nintendo's domain. Switch sold millions due to cheap pricing and novel form factor. With SteamOS devices, don't think Switch 2 is a novelty anymore. So far no console seller games - great lineup but nothing which pushes me to get it ASAP. Very iterative, without anything standing out. Plus the mouse mode seems super gimmicky - you'll need a hard surface to use it - which means no "real" couch coop or playing in bed. Hard surface must - which is quite ridiculous tbh.

How much did Pro cost? And did you buy disc drive?

If you have indeed went ahead & spent a bomb amount already on an Xbox back in 2020 or following year then there is just no point not subscribing to GamePass…even at current rates. That machine literally has no other use but to Play Bethesda & Activision games for cheap. If you aren’t interested in Doom & COD then just sell it now.
