First of all, the t in Laptop is never capitalized.

Now onto your actual point, its a shitty beast. I relied on gaming laptops for years, so I know them better than most. Theyre pathetically weak compared to a desktop, and massively overpriced.

Theyre always worthless on battery, so you have to tote around a massive power brick if you want to do portable gaming etc.

This plus the mouse (and keyboard if you actually want a good one) automatically means a backpack or messenger bag, and a fair bit of weight.

Any gaming laptop in the price range of a console isnt going to be any more powerful than the Steam Deck OLED anyway, without really giving any benefit.

The only times a gaming laptop are even worth considering is when you travel or move a lot for work and you need something you can both work and game on. This doesnt apply to the vast majority of the populace. Even then, if you can find some small portable monitor, a mini ITX build is about the same level of portable while being far better.

A laptop wouldn't also be gimped?

Local streaming works really well and covers most use cases.

There are better options at home for console style gaming and there are better options outside for console style gaming.

Not much room for a dedicated laptop. Would it even have a keyboard?

Ive said this in the past few years here, and its beginning to come true.

PC gaming as you know it will cease to exist in 5 to 10 years

The Switch does this with a better form factor and more local multiplayer games to boot.

You can currently stream Xbox games to a laptop or phone.

If you're out and about a handheld is a better form factor.

... they can just push Game Pass harder into the PC market. Combine that with letting other companies make Xbox systems (license out the Xbox name and let companies create their own game box) and they get all the benefits without the risk.

LMAO using Vgchartz as a source, a source that relies on rough estimates and is actually banned as a source on Wikipedia LMAO.

Doing something different doesn't mean doing something nonsensical.

Why would someone who owns a PlayStation, Nintendo or PC want an Xbox laptop instead?

Its sold over 30 million units in Japan alone, which is probably more than the Series X has sold worldwide. But no Nintendo handheld has ever not been a success. Some of them less than others obviously.

The 64 and GameCube were arguable flops due to Nintendos control freak nature using outdated proprietary mediums (cartridges and minidiscs respectively), and the Wii U was a flop because it may be the worst example of marketing of all time. People literally thought it was an add-on for the Wii.

I don't really see how a console designed like a laptop relates to any of this. We have seen stuff like the PSOne before. It's just a novelty gimmick that doesn't compare to a proper gaming laptop which also isn't some massively booming industry either. It doesn't solve a single issue they currently have. People are apathetic about Xbox hardware. I don't see how making an Xbox laptop somehow solves that issue.

Yes there was, it was a Nintendo handheld. Theres never been a single one of them that wasnt a massive success thanks to Japans massive commuter culture.

The Switch also followed several generations of successful handhelds. All of which have outsold the Xbox One.

So how big is the audience who want the simplicity of a console in a laptop form but also don't want to use the Switch or Steam Deck?

And also don't want to use those screens you can already attach to Xbox consoles.

Laptops are multi-use devices. People can buy them for gaming but also for other PC related tasks. Digital libraries also mean that people can play their existing games on as a secondary device. So yes it makes sense that people use that flexibility for stuff like LAN parties.

But that's way too niche case for basing an entire console around a laptop. For one a console means you need to lug around a controller as well.

You can buy a Series S and an xScreen for a pretty affordable price. But why not just get a gaming laptop at that point. It can even play Xbox games anyway.

You can buy laptop screens for consoles. I don't think the market is particularly very large.

It's not really as flexible as a Switch either. I don't see what the benefit would be.

I think the future of Xbox is basically being a subsidized gaming PC. It seems silly to not just converge Windows gaming and Xbox now.

If people want to install an Xbox OS or ecosystem on a Windows device they can do so.

Sony has a chokehold on Consoles and Nintendo has a chokehold on handhelds, you just can't compete with them in the long run.

I believe it was proven that, in a bubble, Game Pass is indeed "profitable" for them. But this is after they already invested in cloud systems & so on ahead of time, & Game Pass gets to exist in a bubble by itself & show profitability & success with subscriber counts.

The problem being, the PS5 is still the objectively better system with backwards compatibility & what you get to play, & if you don't want a PS5, a PC will give you all the benefits & more that Game Pass will give you while still having access to Steam/Epic & whatever.

So yet for two generations in a row, Xbox is there, but it's really not doing fucking much. It's been having more misses than successes, & Microsoft as a trillion dollar company & the largest one in the world for market share, has been supporting Xbox like a cancerous growth since the Kinect days basically.

Sony is still well & fully capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, but it can't be undersold how much Xbox through Don Mattrick, & Phil Spencer, have botched what could have been much more successful. They might as well just move away from hardware entirely, & focus on cloud/software like a lot of people have been thinking. The Xbox glory days have long since past, & Nintendo gets to exist in it's own sandbox doing whatever the fuck, but like someone else said if they became a Sega entity that would be better for them overall.

They will one day. Once infrastructure can support it everything will be streamed from your smart tv. Its only a matter of time. By next Gen each game will be like 500gb

I remember a little while ago people arguing with me about how profitable & successful they were because of game pass & such. Seems like this has blown that out of the water

LOL.

PS+ was always better than GamePass. Xbros flexed the GamePass so hard without even looking into whether Sony had a better equivalent.

I been saying ms is a trillon dollar company they can sell both xboxes at 99 dollars for a year and get them in homes they fucked up the xbox brand so bad

like i said at 99 dollars thats an impulse buy i dont even think about it

At least they got good controllers for pc use

Is that how it is in lord of the rings? How can they see the sky?

Its own Climate? Now, since it is like a small city, it has to have its own climate, right? Yes. When the building was first built, clouds got formed inside and some say it even rained inside (mostly, not true). But rainbows have definitely been seen inside.
The temperature inside the building is controlled by those 1 million bulbs that are used in there. During winters, the bulbs bring warmth and during summers the doors are opened and air circulating fans are switched on to let the fresh Everett breeze come in.

I don't care at all about it, as long as it's an entertaining story.

No that's me

What else should replace paper then that would make sense

Because Chi Chi can't fly and she wanted Goku to be able to drive her around, since she was already the one that did everything else around the house.

Piccolo was just collateral damage because he happened to be there at that moment lol

I get along with my brothers but me and my sister are icy at best
