Missing the track pads, total garbage.

I agree. The article claims this mockup has better “trackpads”, but I think they’re just referring to the thumbsticks.

Nah, I think the article and the image are both AI generated, so the “author” of the article really has no idea what the image actually looks like.

The article could be, but the images definitely aren’t.

I only ever use them in desktop mode but I know if they disappeared I’d be mad about it

This reminds me of the XBOX 720 memes from back in the day where the console was a sphere or some shit

Funny to see that it’s turned out be a simple geometrical shape after all but just a little… edgier.

Please don’t feed bullshit designs like this oxygen. It’s bad enough seeing all the “PS5 Pro” and “Switch 2” articles.

No, it wasn’t.

“Nintendo has not formally announced its next console, and has effectively ruled out releasing one anytime prior to April 1, 2024. The company said earlier this year that it wants to bolster Switch sales with new games and add-on content.”

I guess official wasn’t the right choice of words, but there’s enough info and dev kits going out means it’s not speculation anymore.

No trackpads = no thanks

Also why does the screen jut out like that?

How comes Valve is the only one to get inputs right? Not even fan renders get it right.

Nobody else is thinking of it as “PC gaming on a console”

They’re thinking in terms of “A console which is a PC”

In other words, their heads are in console mode rather than in PC gaming mode. They aren’t thinking of an effective mouse option to play paradox games and the like.

To buy the DLC?

I recently finished Planescape Torment, and I can only imagine how much I would’ve hated it without the touchpads.

100% agree. Loved the Steam Controller. Love the Steam Deck. Drop the trackpads and my use case gets 10x smaller - I’d pass on it.
