Microsoft can keep it up because they own their CDN. They dont have to pay a 3rd party company for upkeep.

I mean theres a reason why the conpanies target University. Why microsoft partners and gives codes to their products, or adobe to art students.
They train you in their software so youre less inclined to use anything else when youre out of school.
The main purposeni see people upgrading is if youre trying to reduce the number of chargers you carry around to 1, if youre a person who carries other devices like a macbook (and choose to charge over usb c instead of magsafe) or other devices like handheld gaming and such. Else. Smartphones in general have gotten to the point where people are only upgrading to fix a bad battery.
what do you expect from a company that sells a 19$ polishing cloth and a 1000$ stand. its part of their business to sell you accessories.
As a person who works ewaste, which includes apple devices, youd be suprised on how little people return the chargers for their devices
I dont think itll be high powered, thats just the reporter adding something for clickbait.
Im one to believe in Bobby Kottick mentioning that the Switch 2 is roughly the power of a PS4 as he was in contempt of the court when his leak of its performance was discussed. the handheld likely has better cpu performance though vs ps4, as its basically in the same playing field as the steam deck is, both companies who can sit and make thir 30% cut from developer games.
Tldr, dont expect Series S perf, expect steam deck performance with better battery and DLSS support to 4k (i personally believe itll target 1080p60, and use DLSS Performamce preset to upscale to 4k, as 1440p tvs arent common)
Part of the reason was because of sms pricing on thr earlier days. Sms was quickly free in the U.S, so they used sms because it was there. Many regions used whatsapp and similar to avoid sms charges in the early days. That usage habit still exists today
Given that their april 2023 posting was for an action game, id say its a safe guess to assume thats the direction its going https://web.archive.org/web/20230415153612/https://hr.geeq.co.jp/job/101843
All the big companies who owned a majority of cable television channels have all essentially created their own streaming service
Paramount/CBS: Paramount+
Disney/ABC: Disney+
NBC/Comcast: Peacock
Fox: not aware if they have a major one
CW/WB/Discover: HBO Max
Then of course the conpanies that spawned from streaming services.
RDR1 has already been playable on Xenia for quite some time. (And the emulator your thinking of is Yuzu/Ryujinx, Cemu is a wiiu emulator)
The Switch is faster than a PS3/360, which the original game ran on.
To summarize, unoptimized PS3 < 360 < optimized PS3 < WiiU (slightly slower cpu then previous, faster GPU) < Switch in terms of devices with a roughly similar performamce level.
The only platform Microsoft would theoretically delay is Sony, given that in the court, they have pointed out that Sony refused to give them a dev kit, at least for the early launch window.
If amything, Microsoft has history of doing the opposite (later release on their own console). Deathloop is an Arkane Lyon project. It was released on Playstation and PC a week before it was released on Series.
Always assume nintendo games are full price until othwrwise stated.
Nintendo is easily the worst platform to be on if you are part of patientgamers
There are Chromebooks that do approach 1000$.
To take a more luxury approach, Framework has a chromebook edition of their laptop, which has the same hardware except a different motherboard firmware as chromebooks require a titan chip onboard.
Probably only due to a less bloated OS, as high and chromebooks run standard pc laptop parts. Would be similar to min maxing battery by optimizing a linux distro.
I have a dual sense, but not actively using it because it has stick drift (received it from cousin with drift) waiting on if hall effect replacements get released for it in a short time frame before just replacing the stick box myself.
Outside of that, its the only reason why im using a DS4 over it. Mainly ise DS4 because other controllers tend to have middling/low end dpads
Dualshock 4
Honestly with how affordable mini pcs are (even when soeaking about apple devices, as the mac mini is the chepest entry point into OSX brand new) AIOs to me seem like a dying trend.
Though said with somebias as i do work e-waste and i hate having to handle imacs.
You didnt like Ninja Hideaway?
The hardware is there, but the market may not. Take for example, people on console are significantly more willing to pay for a game to play. Mobile is the oppisite (where paid games barely get buyers unless its top cut (e.g minecraft, terraria, stardew valley)and people play F2P games instead)
Resident evil is capcom testing the water for higher end mobile gaming.
Well, that and Apple has a history of not supporting the open standard graphics APIs, requiring devs to do more work in order to port on Apple Devices(well this is more in particular apple on laptop/desktop where molten is a requirment) ios iirc has support for vulkan.
