The most American thing ever

Decent amount of parts over here but they tend to be more expensive over here, however, consumers have more protection with decent warranties etc if that's a benefit for you.

It's not My SQL, it's Orcales.

Surprisingly for the most part, yes.

A good example for me was that it ran Black Myth Wukong at around 40fps.

Xbox would be the one to fall out. Mainly because Microsoft prioritizes software and service over major hardware gains. Their console is mostly a complementary device for users to access their services so this not necessarily a bad thing. With most of their games no longer exclusive this makes the most sense.

Overall Sony and Nintendo will face stiff competition from PC and it's handheld markets as they are the best value platforms albeit with a major upfront cost. Nintendo will remain popular enough due to its widely attractive exclusive games and it's the device that is perceived best for kids. Playstation will remain the go-to platform for people who want a quick plug and play platform and not deal with the "fuss" of PC. The PS5 Pro was their trial attempt at making something more powerful for that crowd.

Would still choose a Steam Deck over this anyway.

Well at this point, Christchurch IS the Florida of NZ.

Wait till Sony turns into a live service game

Vita was fine. Sony just didn't support it and stuffed it up with propriety memory cards which caused low sales and a lot of big games for it to be cancelled. It also launched at a time where mobile games were becoming more mainstream and less people wanted dedicated handhelds. Although post-Switch, the handheld market has seen a bit of a boom especially with Steam Deck etc.

I think they'll be fine. They don't need to be the most powerful. Steam Deck is weaker than Rog Ally but remains the more popular option due to a better user experience and the Switch was significantly underpowered compared to the competition but remains a popular option to other things they bring to the table.

Microsoft won't push for an expensive handheld so anything they bring out would likely be weaker than the top end of the market. It really comes down to what other offerings they bring.

Not really. PS6 parts have already been selected and the chipset entered production in 2022.
