Posted by HundredProofSam,

Hey guys, I (and others) have been getting a lot of complaints regarding some of the discussions in the PS5 and XSX threads. Specifically, the name calling and personal comments are getting out of hand, and it turns a lot of people away from being more active in these threads. There are some members who have made a habit of derailing these two threads and we won't allow that going forward. So please use this post as a general warning to everyone.   Many of us will soon have an Xbox Ser

Windows version of this handheld had been in market for a year now. If anything, drivers will improve performance of SteamOS version since that released recently.

Windows 11 ones released recently, this year. Lenovo Legion Go S released on 25th May this year. 

 

 

 

That said, Windows 11 also needs lot optimisation. Windows 10 outperforms Windows 11 in performance in lot of games.

 

Windows 11 is loaded with too many apps and other bloatware which affects performance ingames. Steam OS purely made for gaming keeping SteamDeck hardware in mind by Valve.

 

MS needs to make gaming focused Windows 11 edition designed for handheld purely for gaming.

Either ways, Windows 11 has been in market for 3+ years now. Its MS's fault if it takes that long for them to get upto par with previous edition's performance.

After spending nearly $150 billion in gaming since year 2000.

 

They couldn’t make a good OS dedicated to gaming considering making OS is their main business & forte!! 
 

As I said whatever they come up with as the NeW xBoX OS & Hardware….really does have some bright future indeed :rofl:

I will just leave it here to end the discussion. 

 

 

- Microsoft hasn't released a handheld device with a dedicated, streamlined version of Windows 11, they are actively working to improve the Windows 11 experience on handheld gaming devices. This includes features like compact mode for the Xbox app and Game Bar, and potential future enhancements focused on controller input and touch screen navigation. 

 

https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/microsoft-is-finally-fighting-back-against-the-rise-of-steamos-by-overhauling-windows-11-to-be-better-on-handhelds

 

MS will release their own designed and manufactured handhelds soon. We will see how those will perform compared to 3rd party Windows branded devices which are basically running desktop edition of Windows 11 with all its bloatware. 

 

Remember SteamDeck is made by Valve not some 3rd party and its purely for gaming nothing else.

So in a nutshell Steam is ahead of M$.

 

Xbox OS will come now & Steam OS will be in it’s generation 3 by then.

 

Ab bas sirf ek he beizzati honi baaki hai…..Next Xbox might have a version which is powered by SteamOS & no Access to GamePass because of it…. 
 

& it might be the more popular version… :rofl:

June 8 -  Xbox games showcase. - 10:30pm IST

 

Im hoping for some gameplay footage. I dont think we will get any solid release dates till games are ready to ship. Most publishers avoid giving release dates now till game is  100% ready to ship

I'm starting to think Jobs was right.

 

MS Just can't get seem to get anything right on the gaming front. Every tech reviewer is pointing their fingers at Windows OS as it's obliterated by SteamOS in performance with same hardware. 

 

At least they're seeing some software sales after going third party.

Much Much less than what those third party studios were seeing before they got acquired.

 

There is a steep revenue drop in all of those studios thanks to GamePass.

As It really has no end game vision in sight.

I know, hence the keyword 'some'. 

That's a problem of their own making. This is what happens when you blindly throw money at every problem expecting it to fix the issue.

what only happened to Wukong on Xbox

 

 

Random guy on X says something bad about X and he immediately posts here. No need to take anything seriously from him. 

 

And FF7 not coming. FF games don't sell on Xbox,  even on X360 FF games flopped. So there's no any FF game will  come to Series consoles.

 

I just want some extended gameplay of Fable, Gears and Perfect Dark with some release date or window. That's all i care.

It’s Acti-Blizz + Zenimax + GamePass showcase.

(Soon to be on PS+) 

 

Anyone who’s interested in either of those.

That was even worse than FF :rofl: 

FF was just constant wishful thinking.

 

Wukong was a big smack a*s slap in the face for trusting Phil yet again on him saying SeriesS will never be a Problem for SeriesX owners!! :rofl:

I think they mean to say 'Xbox Studios Showcase', like any other third party events like EA, Ubisoft or Capcom showcase.

Xbox showcase was fantastic. Will all the games be on gamepass?

That Namco Bandai Vampire Witcher 3 clone won’t be.

 

Also many major Third party won’t be 

All First Party & AA/Indie will be.
