OhMyJosh takes a look at the HARLEV gaming chair from furniture chain JYSK, looking at points such as assembly, build quality, comfort and value for money.
Nintendo has announced its financial results for the full fiscal year, alongside an update to Nintendo Switch shipments and more data, including a prediction for Switch 2 hardware and software.
well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.
so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them
Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.
That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.
Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.
I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.
Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
ASUS is about to announce a new generation of gaming handhelds, and spoiling the announcement are photos from official FCC certification.
Hopefully this leads to a price drop for the Ally X, because if the claimed 10–20% performance boost is accurate, it’s hardly a game-changer. Unless it takes the Ally X price, making the latter take over the normal Ally spot.
wow... with the grips on it, makes it look similar to my switch with nyxi cons attached.

Sorry, didnt remember my account was private. I have tried imgur before and it would never take.
How about this one: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx....
they could have at least wiped it down before taking the pics. All those fingerprints on the touch screen...
Im curious about the two different CPU types. Are we looking as a Series X|S situation again?
FYI, this is not the bespoke Xbox handheld that'd be part of Xbox's next-gen console lineup of 2027.
This, Project Keenan, is supposedly just collab with Asus to produce an Xbox branded Ally 2.
imho, it'll just be a portable PC i.e like Ally or Deck with some Xbox specific features, like a shortcut button.
Yeah.
It´s cool and all but I rather wait for the upcoming official Xbox handheld instead.

Maybe this one works: https://scontent-lax3-1.xx....
That looks nice. I like the GameCube style joycons, I don't know why people downvote, if it's not their taste just leave the post as is. MP remastered a masterpiece I have it myself to. I bought the Hori Split Pad Pro, they are pretty good.
This looks absolutely beautiful. It demonstrates that Microsoft has a vision for where gaming should be going. Sadly I fear that Sony with its cloud-only PS Portal machine will be left behind in the dust. These are the closing days of the PS5 era.
Cloud only PS Portal? It's a £200 streaming device. It has two jobs remote play from a ps5 and stream from the cloud noting else. It's essentially a accessory.
This Microsoft/Asus handheld is a handheld pc that's going to be £400+. How you can compare it to a streaming accessory I don't know lol. Microsoft/Asus really need to do something incredible with this. As we are currently at a time where everyone seems to be releasing a new handheld gaming pc on a daily basis.
Dunno about anyone else but the cloud streaming on the portal is absolutely awesome and a device under 200. And once beta is finished 1000+ games to stream instantly. This is gonna be priced 500+ minimum, to still stream gamepass games. That's an odd comparison with the portal
You realise this is a portable gaming PC right it's not a console capable of playing Xbox games.
It's a rog ally with a Xbox skin and more power
So in your mind outselling your competitor by more than double while just releasing the Pro Model are signs of the closing days for the PS5 huh ? On what planet ate you living ?
While I agree (for now) the sony era of old has run it's course. The PS portal is a solid device and if sony has shown anything in the past, it's they can make top tier handheld consoles.
Please keep your mouth shut. Thank you.
Also: it looks hideous with a cheap looking build quality
Omg, I took a screenshot of this comment to keep it forever in my archive of "most delusional comments ever". Gongrats, you deserve eternity.
Damn!! It 's ugly as hell!!!I MS gave them some advices on design side... it is thiiiick.
I'll stay with the first one much better design.
It won't outsell the PlayStation Portal.
PlayStation Portal Sales Surge: Nearly 2 Million Units Sold So Far in 2024
https://newfortech.com/tech...
Steam Deck has sold about 4 million units in the three years since its release, dominating 50% of the handheld gaming PC market
https://gigazine.net/gsc_ne...
I would be willing to bet it sells significantly less units than the ROG Ally 2 it's based off.
Portal and this are two different products.
One is a streaming accessory whilst the other is a standalone portable PC with an Xbox branding and buttons.

This, Project Keenan, is supposedly just a collab with Asus to produce an Xbox branded Ally 2.
So, why aren't you telling that to VenomUK?
No one cares about this thing, it's just a ROG Ally with green LED's and a Xbox button which will probably cost more than the base ROG Ally because of Microsoft licensing fee's.
You can get mad at the negative comparison to the Portal, but I stand by my statement and still think that it won't outsell the base ROG Ally.
Replies(1)Combined sales of all pc portables only equals 6 million so if steamdeck is at 4 million safe to say ROG is under 2 million sold to date
