Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console
LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 2 days agoIt’s not reading between the lines. They are literally saying they are not working on it right now, and that they might next year. If if if’s abound. I just don’t understand how you’re treating this as another steam deck is in the works.
Like throw down a date. Give me a year. When do you think they’re going to drop another steam deck? Based on the information you have seen, I don’t understand how you can come to any sort of concrete statement without reading between the lines yourself.

“We are working on Steam Deck 2,” Aldehayyat chimed in. “There is going to be a successor.”
That was seven months ago, and it’s very clear. Successful gaming hardware usually starts prototyping the next one very quickly, even if it’s years away. If they didn’t, then they’d always lag far behind the latest technology. Valve don’t know the year. With tariffs alone, trying to set a release date for a new piece of hardware could be a nightmare.

It’s strange to me that they said that and then in the more recent article walked back that promise but fair enough. I’ve never seen this one before so TIL

That’s because, as I’ve been trying to tell you, they didn’t walk it back. You assumed it meant something that it didn’t.

You know I’ve been pretty polite throughout this conversation yet you continue to kind of be patronizing and needlessly hostile. I thought I was being polite not pointing out the fact that you held onto that article for several comments and could’ve easily ended this earlier on by showing your homework, especially when I specifically asked for it and fully admitted maybe I am out of date on my information, but for some reason you waited all this time and now you’re all angry because you’ve had to have this full on discussion that you basically necessitated.
Either way we are clearly past the point of productivity with this conversation. Thank you for the new information, have a good one.
