Microsoft’s Nintendo Switch
Microsoft has been talking about their as yet unrevealed handheld PC at CES. Speaking with The Verge, Microsoft Vice President of Next Generation Jason Ronald spoke about Microsoft’s thoughts on a handheld PC. Mr. Ronald effectively said that Microsoft was looking to take what they’ve learned from the Xbox division and apply that to Windows PCs.
‘I would say it’s bringing the best of Xbox and Windows together’.
What the ‘best of Xbox and Windows’ would actually look like is hard to say especially since one of the appeals of the most popular handhelds (the Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck) is their ease of use, introducing an extra layer to the user experience with a regular Windows operating system seems less than appealing; but, we’ll have to wait as see just what Microsoft has in mind.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Playing through Neo Dimension Fantasian.
