And more significantly, the Switch 2 is for kids. There’s no sizable youth market for the Steam Deck.

But out of all the handheld PCs, the Steam Deck is #1, so that should give you some idea about the sales on the others. 😉

I was looking at getting a Switch 2 MicroSD card for a gift and shit’s bonkers, yo.

I get they changed the standard for the Switch 2, but $300 for 1TB?

I say this as someone who loves their Steam Deck… Steam Deck sales are insignificant compared to consoles.

6 million in 3 years:

The Switch 2 has sold over 10 million, June to September. 3 months. There has been another 3 months since then.

If the disc exists, yes, but I’m talking about going to a store on launch day and not being able to find the big new release.

Yup!

If it goes all digital next generation I won’t be bothering. I didn’t leave gaming, gaming is leaving me.

Cool, cool, plenty of backlog to get through…

This is about physical sales, not digital.

For physical software, it’s super hard to buy it if stores aren’t stocking it.

The Xbox section doesn’t really exist at Target, Walmart, or Costco anymore, and it’s on the way out at Best Buy. Naturally that’s going to have an impact on sales.

Further, Microsoft doesn’t seem interested in physical sales anymore. I probably would have bought Avowed if it existed in meat-space, it doesn’t. I had a really hard time sourcing Indiana Jones and Outer Worlds 2.

On the hardware side, I already have this generations worth of hardware (PS5, XSX, Steam Deck), and I’m not interested in all the baggage on the Switch 2.

Plus, hardware prices are up.

So the surprise would be if sales hadn’t gone down.

Crystalline / Holographic storage has been hyped since the 80s… still not production ready.

“a 5-inch glass platter.” Found the weak point…

Oh, oh! That’s not a brand sticker, it’s a display screen! Nice!

Modos is promising 60hz but on an eInk monitor, not a tablet. I don’t see a tablet hitting that spec any time soon.

60hz is coming which would be fine, but author is saying “old” tablet so that could be anywhere from 1hz to 20hz and that’s not going to fly for a monitor.

Palatino. Fite me! 😉

Kinda spammy to just drop a logo and the name of the app. What’s the big differentiator besides “Christian”? What would draw people to you over, say, a Christian community on Facebook?

Technology? Really?

Problem, one side DOES compromise:

Why would you ask AI to delete ANYTHING? That’s a pretty high level of trust…

Bought the game on the strength of the “Mouse Guard” inspired imagery.

Finished it tonight, it’s a delight and anyone complaining about “wokeness” clearly has not played the game. Demo is free guys, rest of it plays out just like that.

The worst part is, late in the game they reveal a tunnel system… that does nothing. You can’t access it, it’s just two holes in the ground. LOL.

Still a delight to play!
