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’m not holding out for it but I won’t lie that I’m dreaming of the rare chance of it becoming a reality.
It has been nice having Sega games on so many different consoles, though.
I think the next best thing we could get would be Sega releasing a Dreamcast Mini, which apparently they thought about, but scrapped.
