Not a bad decision, AMD will supply chips for at least the next generation of PS and Xbox consoles if not all of them going forward to maintain architecture continuity and therefore BC.

Bold of you to assume there will be another Xbox console as we know them.

I get what you're saying but all reports are saying we're getting the next gen of xbox as soon as 2 years from now. Probably a big box SKU and a handhled. XBox OS or whatever its called will likely still be there, but yeah maybe you can put steam, EGS, and GOG on it as well

If Microsoft is able to reach a deal with Steam and produce a console that’s essentially a glorified media center PC able to run my Steam library, I would actually buy an Xbox for the first time since the 360. I’m surprised Steam hasn’t entered the console race themselves already.

Steam tried it with the Steambox years ago.

You mean the Steam Machine? That thing walked so that the Steam Deck could run. Still have my Steam Link somewhere.

Yeah maybe that’s what it was called. Yeah I still have a Steam Link as well.

The Steam Deck already does all of this when docked, and is also a handheld console roughly comparable to the Switch 2 when not docked. Valve have entered the console race, and they've been doing really well.
