That’s expensive.

I guess it's for the die hards.

For me I am most interested in the docking. If this can perform like an Xbox Series S, I would be tempted to grab one as a secondary console.

And even more in the coming months, including enhancements to the docking experience for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X as we work to enable a seamless, high-performance setup that supports big-screen gaming, Auto SR, intuitive controller pairing, optimized display output, and more!

Pricing is as expected I guess.

Handheld market is pretty exciting at the moment but it’s moving a bit too fast to jump in right now.

Maybe Sony will bring out a weaker, cheaper machine that aligns to PS5 and earlier. I think they are doing something like this.

Has the Steam Deck fallen off in the current environment? Meaning are there a lot of games that it just can’t run?
 
ROG Xbox Ally X Demand Has 'Exceeded Expectations' And ASUS Is Ramping Up Production

It's been a month now since the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handhelds first debuted on the scene, and we've been waiting over the past few weeks to hear from ASUS about how well they've fared in terms of sales.

In an investor call yesterday, the company highlighted the success of the premium ROG Xbox Ally X model in particular, pointing out that stock has been in short supply and they actually underestimated the demand of the device.

As a result, production is ramping up to "fill the demand that exists":

"We believe that we have achieved our original goals of premium positioning, creating a new growth driver in our gaming segment. That's why we released our third-generation ROG Ally last month. It featured deeper collaboration with Xbox. Since its launch, we see the market response for it has been extremely positive, particularly, there has been an appetite for the premium higher-end models, exceeding our expectations. These high-ended variants are currently in short supply. We are working closely with key component suppliers to ramp up production and fill the demand gap that exists. Our goal with the ROG Ally is for it to remain a core pillar within the ASUS gaming portfolio."

As we've highlighted in recent weeks, the ROG Xbox Ally X is the model that's been consistently out of stock in certain areas around the world, whereas the cheaper ROG Xbox Ally model doesn't seem to have suffered the same issues.

ASUS has yet to comment on how well that version has fared with gamers thus far, but it's safe to say the ROG Xbox Ally X is what most early adopters seem to be opting for. Based on these comments from ASUS, here's hoping stock issues will soon become a thing of the past for anyone who wants to grab one.

ROG Xbox Ally X Demand Has 'Exceeded Expectations' And ASUS Is Ramping Up Production

An impressive start for the X in particular

They only have $$$, so asked Copilot for some help here:

Asus said the Xbox ROG Ally X handheld has seen high demand and is in short supply.

Expects to generate NT$ 3 to 5 billion ($96m - 160m) in sales from its Ally line this quarter, stabilizing at around NT 4 to 5 billion each quarter ($130m - $160m).

ASUS expects future quarters to stabilize at NT$ 4–5 billion ($130M–$160M), implying a steady run rate of 200,000–300,000 units per quarter, assuming similar pricing and demand mix.
  • Low-end scenario ($96M revenue):
    • If mostly standard units: ~$599 → ~160,000 units
    • If mostly premium units: ~$899 → ~107,000 units
  • High-end scenario ($160M revenue):
    • If mostly standard units: ~$599 → ~267,000 units
    • If mostly premium units: ~$899 → ~178,000 units

As we've mentioned before, the ROG Xbox Ally X20 features a few improvements compared to the existing ROG Xbox Ally X, including a bigger display with an OLED screen, TMR joysticks, a new d-pad and redesigned face buttons.

It's not actually more powerful than the Ally X that's on the market right now, but these quality-of-life improvements should make a relatively big difference, especially in terms of the OLED display.
