I mean, Ive been begging for a new media and gaming mode since the failed Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives

It’s crazy that Microsoft hasn’t made an interface for Windows for handhelds like this. They’re leaving money on the table.

What money. I’m pretty sure most of these hardware are loss leaders

The steam deck should be the only loss leader in handheld PCs, all the competitors need to make a profit on the hardware.
Microsoft could actually sell an Xbox branded handheld at a loss as well, but they would need to force Microsoft store sales/game pass to recoup the cost.

The W-Box. Walk while you game!

They will release an Xbox mode, not only a UI. A true Steam OS alternative. But that takes time. I bet they are aiming for a 2025 release.
