hey everyone we're talking about this
0:02
massive leak that just came out the
0:04
full-blown images of the Xbox handheld
0:06
that just dropped earlier today straight
0:09
from what looks like a factory if you
0:12
were on Twitter at all today you've seen
0:14
these images going everywhere here's a
0:16
post from Dick Duro talking about it
0:18
saying the new Xbox handheld Project
0:21
Kenan where's Kell at at who loves
0:24
orange soda has been leaked the device
0:26
is a collaboration between Microsoft and
0:29
Asus and this is getting a lot of uh I
0:33
would say uh criticism from gamers a lot
0:35
of people are actually wondering what
0:37
the hell is the point with this
0:40
console and and while this is exciting I
0:43
would say the real question is what even
0:44
is this thing right xbox fans are
0:47
scratching their heads and honestly I
0:49
get it this handheld doesn't really seem
0:51
like it plays Xbox games guys it's
0:54
branded as an Xbox but there's a whole
0:56
weird situation with this let's go ahead
0:58
and break it down so for months Xbox has
1:02
been hinting at some kind of handheld
1:04
device we knew it was coming but now we
1:07
got the actual photos that are in all
1:09
these tweets that we're seeing today and
1:12
along with these photos the Xbox app
1:15
which funny enough has apparently been
1:18
updated right quietly updated at that
1:21
like shadow dropped they've added a
1:23
battery meter on the top right you can
1:26
see as like a handheld device would have
1:28
a Wi-Fi indicator and a clock basically
1:32
signaling that this device is eminent
1:34
and it it might even get a surprise
1:37
launch to be completely honest we might
1:38
see a shadow drop just out of nowhere
1:41
get released now let's talk about the
1:44
design of this whole handheld taking a
1:48
look at the images it's clearly
1:50
influenced by devices like the Steam
1:52
Deck or the ROG Ally has big grips it
1:56
has a big screen it has full controls it
1:59
even has an Xbox button a dedicated Xbox
2:03
button and the standard ABXY layout that
2:06
you would see on Xboxes but uh here's
2:09
where things get weird despite it being
2:11
Xbox branded this thing can't actually
2:17
natively so what in the blue hell is the
2:20
point of this actual device right it's a
2:24
Windows-based device that means you can
2:27
play Xbox PC games titles that are
2:30
available through PC Game Pass so you
2:32
got to got Game Pass but there's there's
2:34
no console only games that would work on
2:37
this so it's more of a handheld gaming
2:39
PC with Xbox stickers on it than an
2:42
actual Xbox handheld which is quite a
2:44
bit of a let let down even though I
2:46
still have speculation and theory that
2:48
Xbox will be releasing a actual full
2:51
dedicated Xbox handheld in the future
2:55
but right now this seems more like it's
2:56
a collaboration between the two
2:59
companies right so people are confused
3:01
some like the design and others think it
3:04
looks pretty clunky many are wondering
3:06
what the point of this device even is if
3:09
it can't play all Xbox titles can we
3:11
even call it an Xbox handheld let's take
3:13
a look at some tweets that we got out
3:14
here so going back to this post from uh
3:18
VGT Gaming you can see people are saying
3:22
it's going to cost like 700 looks
3:25
nothing special at all seriously says
3:27
"Was interested but not anymore i hate
3:29
the controller grips."
3:32
Misier Tech says "I think Asus ROG
3:34
needed to hire Colt Eastwood and use his
3:36
much better design." Marco says "What
3:39
has this to do with Xbox is it just the
3:42
new Ally 2 in the extreme version?" So I
3:45
mean a lot of people were saying it's
3:48
bull crap that it's not even good you
3:50
could even see Natalia Server says
3:52
"Exbox can't do anything right their
3:54
handheld has been leaked it's awful it
3:57
can only play Xbox PC and it's made by
4:00
Asus they suck at customer services this
4:02
looks bad like really really bad now I
4:07
think if it was just a Steam Deck sure
4:10
but can't you already play Game Pass
4:12
games on the regular Steam
4:14
Deck i know that there's Xbox Cloud and
4:17
all those other services but I I agree
4:20
what's the point what is the point
4:23
people are confused in Demion shout outs
4:25
to them says new Xbox handheld
4:28
leaked right my only gripe is the
4:31
controller is baked into the system
4:33
which this is a good point says "Yeah I
4:35
know it might be a patent nightmare to
4:36
be like Switch however I think these
4:38
days controllers break more often and
4:41
the idea of my controller not working in
4:43
my actual system handheld sounds like a
4:45
nightmare these things need to be able
4:47
to swap out the sides in my opinion or
4:50
maybe I'm just and I press my
4:52
buttons and pull my sticks too hard it's
4:54
just a me problem i don't know probably
4:57
so I I could understand the concern on
4:59
that uh to be quite honest cuz it is uh
5:03
the controllers are literally just baked
5:05
in all right doesn't even look like we'd
5:08
be able to pull them off whatever what
5:10
happens if it breaks what happens if it
5:12
breaks so what Microsoft seems to be
5:14
doing is building a new category which
5:17
is the Xbox PC right there's no Xbox
5:21
consore it's the Xbox PC which is
5:23
basically a Windows gaming machine that
5:26
leans heavily into Xbox branding and
5:28
services but this pivot I feel is
5:31
raising eyebrows if it doesn't simplify
5:33
the gaming experience who's this really
5:35
for in fact I think it complicates it it
5:38
it do you think casuals are going to
5:39
want to be fiddling and diddling with
5:42
having to sign up for PC gaming Game
5:44
Pass and having to I don't know it just
5:47
seems overly complicated as opposed to
5:49
something that could just play Xbox
5:51
games natively and uh yeah I think uh
5:57
handhelds are awesome remember the PSP
6:00
that thing had original titles made
6:02
specifically for that handheld device it
6:05
was designed around portability even the
6:08
Switch is designed around portability
6:10
even though it could be docked these new
6:12
devices they're powerful but they're
6:14
bulky they're not exactly pocket
6:15
friendly like you can't carry this Xbox
6:18
PC handheld whatever the heck you want
6:21
to call it in your pocket this is a huge
6:23
sucker it's clunky right and despite all
6:26
this confusion insiders are claiming
6:29
that Microsoft like I said is still
6:31
working on a real Xbox handheld
6:33
something that would be closer to a
6:35
miniseries S but until that surfaces I
6:38
feel like they're literally just testing
6:40
the waters with this device i I feel
6:46
uh with these Xbox branded Windows PCs
6:50
this is And why is the thing so dusty
6:52
too look at all these fingerprints and
6:54
just how much finger dust and all that
6:57
is on this this is a pretty dusty thing
6:59
now honestly I'm skeptical about this i
7:02
think these handheld PCs sound great on
7:05
paper but when you take into account
7:06
price battery life lack of true Xbox
7:10
integration and it's a real tough sell i
7:13
I don't think too many people are going
7:14
to want this even even hardcore fans to
7:16
be completely honest I I think we want
7:19
something simple something affordable
7:21
and something that's built for gaming on
7:23
the go this is essentially another $700
7:27
gaming tech experiment so I want to know
7:30
what you guys think would you buy this
7:32
Xbox PC handheld or are you waiting for
7:35
