  1. Price shock: Asus has hiked the ROG Xbox Ally X in Japan from ¥139,800 to ¥169,800 (~$913 → $1,109) — a $196 jump.

    The standard Ally stays at ¥89,800 (~$585).

    No official reason, but faster RAM on the X and global RAM/storage shortages are the likely culprits.

    Valve delays and Steam Deck scarcity suggest more hardware pain ahead. #XboxAlly

  3. Imagine selling a $700+ #SteamMachine that doesn't play #GTAVI.

    It's the same with the #XboxAlly, the #PlayStation5 is the second best deal in gaming for GTA VI, being the #XboxSeriesS or #SteamDeck depending if you want to go back to Vice City or not.

  10. So... I'm currently reviewing the Xbox Ally X, and the hardware is pretty good. I first tried things on Windows since that's the default, and the new interface is better than what they had before, but it's still a mixed bag, with the Xbox app doing some stuff while Armory Crate from ROG does some more, and in the back you also have Windows 11 settings you can't really access without going to the desktop. They are miles away from where SteamOS is right now. (thread continues)

  11. Well, no matter how #Xbox does, the problem is even if people *cheer* for the console platform to die, it's less competition.

    Imagine PlayStation being the only console aside from the Nintendo Switch:

    - #PlayStation6 at $799
    - Games at $80~$100
    - #PSPlus at $149/year

    Your alternative will be a PC, which isn't a console nor works OOTB.
