I think the idea is hilarious that in 2025 people would still trust Microsoft to competently launch a product and then not enshittify it until it is nearly unrecognizable.
Microsoft has zero capacity, competency or even desire to stand behind this over things like game streaming.
It’s not a Microsoft product. It’s an Asus product with a bit of Xbox sponsorship.
That doesn’t make it any better

Whether or not it’s better wasn’t the question. The claim was that Microsoft was launching the product and being in charge of defining the price. They aren’t because it’s an Asus product with Xbox branding, just like https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-3-mode-controller-xbox/ is a regular 8bitdo controller with Xbox branding and not a Microsoft product.
That’s all.
That wasn’t the claim from the comment you replied to. It was about Microsoft botching a launch and making the product worse over time which Asus is just as guilty of doing.
It was about Microsoft botching a launch
And Microsoft isn’t launching the product because it’s not a Microsoft product.
Asus … Well that’s half the problem right there. The other half being Microsoft
I can’t be the only one who thinks “ROG Xbox Ally X” is a really stupid name.
Just imagine what they’ll have to name the sequel.
It’ll be like Street Fighter games in the 2000s. Get ready for Super ROG Xbox Ally X Turbo HD Remix Plus Alpha Double Upper.
Released with two other versions but they are Double Kick and Arm Slam. The difference us purely cosmetic between Double Upper and Arm Slam while Double Kick uses a whole different cpu architecture but no other changes. Only one edition will be promoted and have easy support
