Your console is failing doesnt mean Nintendo and playstation are failing. As a matter of fact they are killing it. Xbox has lost the console wars!
Is this when they realise that infinite growth isn’t actually infinite? There’s always a place for a device for entertainment. Be that pen and paper or electronic.
I think the biggest competition to consoles is tablets. A lot of Gen Alpha doesn’t even know how to use a controller. EDIT I guess noone on Lemmy actually pays attention to kids these days…
What the fuck gen am I? Millenials, Z and all this shite. Everytime I get on here there is a new generation. Im only 30.
'94 is considered a Millennial typically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#/media/File:Generation_timeline.svg
Failing manufacturers in this case mean manufacturers who’ve sold twice your product count?
Clearly Xbox have a weird definition of the word “fail”.
The improvements of steam and proton, steamlink and big picture mode make it possible to run great games on your TV. Its not „just turn on“ yet but we‘re getting there. I wanted a PS5 when they were unavailable but I since managed to play my favorite games on my tv with a ps4 controller and dont see the point to buy back into a locked up computer with a fancy case for games that have microstransactions gallore.

I think we are 99% there. If you make a decent AMD based machine, install Bazzite on it, you can set it to “Open in Big Picture mode on startup”. After the initial configuration in desktop mode (you need to do this only once during installation), you can just start the PC and sit in your couch. No need to download drivers or any desktop shenanigans. You control it using any standard game controller. No need for a mouse/kb; just start and play.
Thats pretty awesome! :) thanks for sharing. Do you know by any chance if kodi has a steam app somewhere? I‘m going with a raspberry pi and it works well as a client for media but not yet for steam.
