@blaznwiipspman1: So true, waiting for Christmas sales on pre-built PCs can get you better price than getting custom-build PC.

Can the human eye even tell much difference between 4K and 8K resolutions?

Neverwinter Nights offers massive value for money. You pay a small price, and get a big campaign, in addition to adventures created by other players. I have spent over a thousand hours on this game.

Modular PC sounds nice, although I feel that modular structures tend to be less durable due to having multiple parts attached together as opposed to being one solid block. Just my two cents.

Also “ADATA XPG Nia” doesn’t roll off the tongue very easy lol. Maybe work on a simpler brand name.

@osan0: True, the console market has declined (sales-wise) from Gen 7 to Gen 8, mainly due to mobile gaming killing off dedicated handhelds. However I still see good potential for hybrid consoles.

As for Apple, I am surprised that Apple hasn’t put in much effort turning the AppleTV into a gaming console. I expected the AppleTV to turn every TV into an iPad for gaming lol.

If Sega were to re-enter the console race right now, they would obviously fail since they can’t compete with Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony. But let’s imagine for a minute that Sega merged with several other companies to boost its strength, then jump back into the console market with a Switch competitor. How many companies would they need to merge with to get the wheels turning? What companies would be most suitable for this?

Here are my thoughts on what companies would be good for merging (not acquiring since Sega wouldn’t be able to afford buying these companies directly):

Capcom - Sega’s console would be difficult to ignore if it was the only console with Street Fighter, Dragons Dogma, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.

Konami - Who doesn’t love Bomberman, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill or Castlevania?

Koei Tecmo - Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Dynasty Warriors, Nioh.

CD Projekt - the above companies are all Japanese, so having a European company would be a welcome addition. Witcher and Cyberpunk would be very popular. CD Projekt would probably have to close down GOG Galaxy if they want to merge with Sega though.

If this hypothetical mega-merger occurred, it would be an easy ticket back into the console world for Sega. Sonic would have lots of allies this time around to help him fight Mario lol. What are your thoughts? Are there some better companies you can think of that might be more suited for this?

Story-based racing games are boring for most people, but they could be slightly okay as long as they don’t go overboard with it. I don’t care about what my character ate for breakfast in the morning before he began racing. So as long as they avoid silly things like that, I am willing to give it a try.

@Macutchi: Natural progression? You lose your souls/XP when you die and fail to claim them afterwards. Plus it’s not just souls/XP you need to grind, but crafting materials to upgrade your weapons and armor too. Sometimes it’s very hard to get all this naturally.

What operating system will these handhelds use? I am only interested in Windows so if they use Linux I am not going to touch them.

@pc_rocks: Ahh okay thanks for clearing that up for me. I am hoping that the Japanese co-CEO might be interested in producing a PlayStation handheld device (Since the Japanese market prefers handhelds over home consoles). Not sure if such a thing will ever come to market but I do have faith.
