How Much Longer Can Xbox Wait?

My stupid brick is better than your stupid brick!

Brickmon! Gotta throw them all!

There is technically still Nintendo.

Nintendo's too busy not making enough Amiibos to satisfy demand to care about the "console wars".

Amiibos are still a thing?

Sure, you can. But... why would you even want to do that ? I mean it is not that a TV screen is generally better or cheaper than a regular PC screen and i personally prefer keyboard and mouse unless it is a bad port (and then using controller on PC is fine).

I mean, yes, if you really want the console experience, a laptop can trivially replace an Xbox.

Easy portability and greater utility found in a laptop or Steam Deck than a console. I'd hate to carry around a PS5. For those with good Internet, streaming just keeps getting better. I can play Luna from Amazon over a Firestick type device (I have a discontinued "pendent" that works fine). Imagine going on a business trip and just taking your controller and a Firestick with you.

I do wonder, if Iwould I be able to use a keyboard and mouse on Xbox or Playstation. Hmm. Reviewing.

EDIT: Yup.

Ah, i see. You come at it from the perspective of whether laptop or a console is better for the traditional console use where i consider having laptop/PC at the ready and and whether using them in a regular way or as console proxy.

I think I’ve seen them for sale at vastly reduced prices. I’ve got a couple but that’s cos I wanted a cheap figure of Samus. In fact they’ve enjoyed a rather big secondary market that way, same as the Disney Infinity things. People buy them cos they’re cute, stylised mini statues. I got like, all the core Avengers and Star Wars cast (minus a clone trooper for Rex. Booo!) plus Elsa from Frozen. They’re neat.
