so is the ideal console focused on delivering performance at a reasonable price or should it instead focus on things like portability at the cost of performance?

I dont give a shit as long as its fun and memorable to play. A complete package like a story from start to end.

but would you rather have that same game portable but not perform and look as good or have the same game not portable but perform and look better?
Ian Reed
Whats the point of portability? Like, how often are you gonna play games out of the house if you're not a kid

It really depends, but as someone with every current gen console, the Switch versions of most big multiplats look like absolute dogshit. I remember picking up DOOM on Switch because everyone ranted and raved about it, but the visuals and frame rate made me hate it as a portable game. It was oh so slightly better docked, but at that point, I could go on Steam or turn on my Xbone and have a much superior experience

>people going to reply with shit like travel
well probably valid for some or many but I travel and never ever do I feel like playing games when I go outside of my house, there's so much to do, if I'm camping or something and there's a boring moment, I can watch a movie on my phone

To me, consoles should cover all the bases that PC doesnt.

I work an office job. I don't want to come home just to sit at my desk with m+kb. Only use the PC for multiplayershit nowadays.

Should focus on what differentiates it and its video-game experience from the competition, since otherwise it's just what logo you want on a prebuilt PC. Portability is just an upshot, pushing for more power is something everybody's doing and mostly leads to video games being harder to develop for the same returns.

I have this thing called a porch swing
I’ll take a graphics hit if that means I can do my 3 favorite things.
Swing, drink and play vidyas

You don’t hang out with friends? Outside of that, portability doesn’t necessarily mean being outside your house. It’s nice to just play a game in any room and not be tethered to your TV
