Nah releasing a console is crazy accounts of work and money. They switched to software-only for a reason.
Nintendo is the only one with a reason to keep making consoles. Xbox and PS5 are essentially PCs in a fancy box (although PS5 has a really fancy sound card)
Isn't the Switch essentially a tablet with controllers attached?
Exactly, it’s a portable you can dock to a TV. The PS5 is a fancy alternative-hardware pc. The Xbox is literally a PC. I suppose you could make an argument for price, but hardware wise they’re not really all that special these days.
This is why Steam Deck is such a game changer.
Yes
I think the next best thing we could get would be Sega releasing a Dreamcast Mini, which apparently they thought about, but scrapped.
I miss my Dreamcast 😭
Honestly maybe my #1 console. So much joy.
Did you sell it?
If I had one I'd be using it as it doesn't have any kind of DRM AFAIK.
Dreamcast did have copy protection but its easily circumvented. Like even at the time it was fairly easy
If it had DRM it was not very good, that's for sure! I still own it, but it's in storage about 1700 miles away.
I would love an arcade cabinet with most of their games remastered on it. So once they get through a few of these launches, release something like a Steam Machine arcade cabinet for $500-1000 with a huge library of games. I think it would sell well, and it would be fantastic marketing.
A steam deck competitor or something like Atari’s recent console is more likely than a PlayStation or Xbox competitor.
