The original in VR is one of my greatest gaming experiences so I'm hoping it's at least a 9 with a VR update to come.

Is this to distract from the GoT release?

Id be keen for a shake up. I don't think there's much they could do with Link that won't feel stale.

This will get review bombed to hell

I've owned consoles since the snes and from all the brands but the best non PC game station I've ever owned is the steamdeck OLED. A near limitless library of games including most past consoles with emulation, best ergonomics (the touch pads are an excellent addition), the best screen available for a portable and if you have a decent PC as well you can play the latest titles via streaming which works fantastically.

Well the company is failing so..

MS gaming division will be dead in 10 years imo. They're hemorrhaging at all seams and aren't making progress.

They better not do my all time fave game dirty...

Sony and Microsoft have become such disappointing companies.

Didn't realise just how many countries are locked out of the purchase now. In retrospect the pro's probably won't outweigh the cons for Sony and the devs will be understandably upset.
