True, but:
there are many, many digital games on Xbox that are <2GB. Think things like Shovel Knight, Peggle 2, other indies, smaller 3rd-party games, and so forth. You'd be able to grab a ton of those, and maybe one or two bigger games along with.
Shovel Knight isn't fucking shovelware my guy.So you're suggesting buying a $400 portable Xbox for shovelware garbage?
MS isn't exactly known from their hardware engineering feats, in terms of making things smaller and more efficient. Their consoles have always been behemoths with equally gargantuan power supply units.
There's no way they could make an equally-specced Xbox One into a portable.
What is it then? I didn't bought my current gen system (Xbox One) and built a PC to play a game that looks like something from 80sShovel Knight isn't fucking shovelware my guy.

In sure your close mindedness will take you far in this world.What is it then? I didn't bought my current gen system (Xbox One) and built a PC to play a game that looks like something from 80s

Battery tech might be here soon. New tech has batteries that last a lot longer, charge much much faster (minutes instead of hours) have more charge cycle lives, can be used in far greater temperature ranges and are far safer by using glass electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes like they do now to transfer the lithium ions between the anode and the cathode. Some pretty interesting stuff especially since not long ago most thought something like this was impossible.

Shovelware is not a term used for old games, or retro inspired games. It's a term used for low effort, low quality games that could actually look much more modern than Shovel Knight. It's okay if you don't like it, but you don't get to change the meaning of the word.What is it then?

low effort, low quality games
Shovel Knight
The Nintendo Switch is larger than the Vita.
You're not going to get an Xbox One into a form factor that's smaller than the Switch.
people are going to tell you 'itll cost a fortune'
they're wrong
it won't cost anything
because it's literally impossible
I mean you're objectively wrong. Not much else can be said.Sounds about right
You really don't know what you're talking about. Shovel Knight is objectively a critically-acclaimed game built with years of on-going support, and commonly lauded across most forums. Those are facts. Your opinion on what you enjoy aside, it isn't shovelware by any widely-understood definition of the term just because it's a 2D side scroller with an 80s-style-aesthetic.Sounds about right
Yeah that's not gonna be mainstream consumer ready for years.
I think you're underestimating Microsoft. Just because Nintendo wimps out and uses weak hardware for their portable doesn't mean Microsoft would as well.
The biggest issue with the Switch is it's using a very old SoC. Not only is it weaker than the new stuff, but also nowhere near as power efficient.
I think it's entirely possible that Microsoft can release a significantly more pwerful product than the Switch with at least the same battery life for not that much more money and still have it be profitable.
The biggest thing going for Microsoft beyond the loads of cash they have is the product would fit very well in the Play Anywhere ecosystem.
I do expect either Microsoft or Sony, perhaps both, to try the hybrid model. I just expect them to not make the same mistakes Nintendo did with the Switch.
What is it about the Switch that causes people to spew out misinformed shit posts?
I think every respected tech journalist can agree with that MS's hardware output since Surface RT and Pro has been top quality and dare I say, industry leading. It's only fluke design wise is the original Xbox One. Reliability wise, it's a damn good machine.
Yeah, I think some find it inconceivable that Nintendo used a reasonable battery in there and so think other companies could make a better portable just by throwing money at it to run unoptimised-for-portable home console libraries at anything up to 50gb on something only two-thirds of the size.Nintendo made a powerful machine, and that has broken people's minds.

Powerful for a phone or tablet. As a console it's a complete joke
Lmao. I don't know how much I can say on this website and not get banned. So I won't say much about how false this post is.Sounds about right
Many xbox games already render at 720p so you gain nothing for those.Note the 720p screen. It wouldn't need to hit the same performance as the original spec, especially if the games can use adaptive resolution (and many already do).
Uh
You do not seem to understand some basic facts
- The xbox cpu architechture is x86 and draws way to much power.
- The xbox gpu is amd based and amd does barely even HAVE mobile gpus anymore. They are way to power hungry compared to nvidia
So.. in 5 years it may be possible. Now - impossible
I think once AMD gets Zen and VEGA sorted out, surface pro could use AMD instead of intel for some nice PC laptop gaming.
I think laptops will eventually fill in the AAA gaming on the go once we get lower power zen and vega in the market place.
Will these laptops be $300?
Hey! As one of the thirteen people in the world who bought a Microsoft Lumia, screw you. I mean, I can't disagree with you. But still, ouch.Given Microsofts history with portable devices and platforms, I'd laugh and laugh and laugh.

This, who cares about the X1 library?Now I would buy an Xbox360 portable, I really enjoyed it's library.
If Sony can't do it then MS REALLY can't do it.
You really think Sony, MS and Nintendo design the important silicon in these devices. Really ?
The ability to do it is enabled by whatever Nvidia, AMD or Intel can offer in the low power category.
If Sony can't do it then MS REALLY can't do it.
Surface pro laughs back at you, and laughs and laughs.
I dont have one but I drool when I see them, if they ever get a zen ad vega instead of intel they would be amazing for gaming.
Huh, how did you get that from my post? I meant make it a success not actually build the thing.
