ROG Xbox Ally X sells out, despite disdain for shifts in Microsoft's gaming strategy

I mean, I'm not surprised that the Xbox Ally X sold out so fast. I've been saying it for ages - mid-range consoles are where it's at! People want options, you know? The high-end Series X is cool and all, but who needs that kind of price tag just to play Fortnite on max settings? And don't even get me started on the Series S, like, it's a nice try, but it's still way too expensive for its specs. The Ally X was just right, you feel?

But yeah, I can see why people are worried about Microsoft's gaming strategy now. It does seem like they're all over the place. One minute they're saying "oh, we're gonna focus on cloud gaming and leave the consoles behind", the next they're releasing a console that sells out in days... what's going on? It's just not very strategic, you know?

I guess this is just the market adjusting to the new normal of gaming. Cloud gaming is where it's at now, and if Microsoft wants to stay relevant, they need to get on board with that. But for now, I'm just gonna wait and see what happens next...

I'm kinda surprised by this move from Microsoft . I mean, mid-range consoles are where it's at for most gamers, you know? It feels like they're just throwing good money after bad . I get that they want to focus on the high-end and cloud gaming, but what about all the people who just wanna play games without breaking the bank?

I think this is a great opportunity for other manufacturers to step up their game (pun intended) . Sony's been doing pretty well with the PS5, and Nintendo's still killing it with Switch... maybe Microsoft needs to rethink its strategy and find some new ways to bring gamers together .

It's all just speculation at this point, but I'm keeping an eye on how things play out . One thing's for sure: the gaming community is gonna be watching this space closely .
