I appreciate the convenience of emulation - but at the same time there is a feeling you get from using original hardware that's hard to match.

I feel like consoles will always be here just less of a demand
@

Next gen will probably be all portable

Some things (like Super Famicom games) just feel right when you play them using the original hardware and a CRT

Not so sure about that - the tendency for "graphics uber alles" tends to lead to very high power consumption
@
KenniesNewName :
If you look at what's now portability graphics are catching up to console quality

Nintendy is a huge example of not everyone caring about powerful specs most that do will be hardcore PC players anyway

The thing is that the IATA rules impose a pretty hard limit of 100Wh on battery sizes for lithium batteries - and it doesn't look like Li is going away soon

So if you want (say) 4 hours of runtime you need a maximum system-level power consumption of 25W

Maybe
- but batteries have turned out to be a pretty hard problem
@

I bet you could find a neighbor with a ps5 and they'd have no idea what the word spec means
T
@
trimesh :
Yeah probably - people on forums seem to care a lot, but they are heavily self-selected
@
KenniesNewName :
Most on forums try to get a good learning of actual tech
