    I’d rather see consoles open up to being general purpose PCs, than not see consoles at all.

    Valve got it right with the Steam Deck. I enjoy accessing my game library from SteamOS and using the Desktop Mode when I need to be productive.

    If the Xbox had an option to boot into Windows, they’d be selling the Xbox like hot cakes. It would keep users invested in Windows as a platform rather than them moving to Linux or macOS. It’s such a waste of potential.

    They’re far too stupid to realize that.

      That’s what I said though. Looking at the reactions I got here, unpopular opinion, people prefer consoles to be entirely locked down, have exclusives and zero access to game files.

        As always, it’s a trade-off between convenience and ability to tweak.

        When it comes to gaming, the convenience slightly edges it for me at the mo. Enjoying Game Pass, play anywhere, Quick Resume and have made all the money back I spent on the Series X through Microsoft Rewards twice over.

        Next upgrade will be a tough call though.
