This is just a device from Asus with Microsoft paying them to slap their name on there. This is not an Xbox handheld from Microsoft, it's just another Ally with a branding deal.
It's also incredibly ugly. Hope this is a ditched mockup, that shit looks like a turd.
Sounds like the Zune 2.0.
The ROG Ally is absolute dog crap, runs out of battery and overheats.
I tuned in to a streamer a year ago or so and he was doing a sponsored stream with the ROG Ally and it was basically an anti ad and incredibly hilarious.
Good luck getting any reasonable customer support
I kinda like it, looks like an Xbox 360 Handheld. I'd buy it if it worked with steam games
Everyone in the replies are mentioning the dirty screen in the PR photos, which I find hilarious. Like, damn, Microsoft couldn't afford some gloves for their assistants?
SO is it a leak or PR?
Who asked for this?
This is probably an attempt to get into the Japanese/Asian market where handholds are more popular.
or to compete with the joneses over at valve, plus the deck probably has a minor effect on windows usage.
So, a handheld to play all the games that will also be available on every other platform (except Nintendo, who uses cell phone-power processors)?
This is where exclusives drive sales. Why would I buy your handheld over something like a Steam Deck if that device plays all your games and then some?
Xbox is gay. Had those stupid ass giant controllers with stupid buttons. Fucking white and black button? Faganomical bullshit. I smashed every Xbox I saw and not just the red light of death ones but the working ones and the 360s i smashed them all like junk and they are junk. I hate them!
Did you kill the women a s children too?
I'm fairly tall so the original Duke is something I loved.
dude, i'm five eight (legally anyway) with hands to match , and the Duke was probably the most comfortable controller i ever owned until the dualsense came out.
seriously, i love the playstation joystick setup, but fuck those gamepads gave me hand cramps...
If it's an ugly woman demanding a guy over six feet tall I'm 5'15"
lol, according to my own measurements, i'm 5'7 3/4", but if the government was to grant me an extra quarter inch, i'll take it is my point.
but yeah, say whatever else you want about the ps5, the controllers were a godsend. same with the xbox and the Duke.
I'll have to play the PS5 some time.
nah, just do what I did, buy a ps5 controller and hook it to steam, lol.
I need to make a new computer anyway.
The gamepad was good the xbox was trash.
