I'm pretty much a Xbox gamer. Rarely play PC. I'm interested in a handheld, would you go with the upcoming ally for Xbox or whatever the Lenovo one is called? I'm not very techy, just want something that's going to play games for at least the next 5 years. Something with great battery life.

Cheaper/better value than anything else on the market

I just want to make this a point. As the hardware is not only cheaper, the games are too. Especially because of the sales, and the option to use other storefronts (through heroic) like epic to get free games every week or two.

The XBOX Ally has all of those too.

Agreed. Just a higher hardware price. But that higher price comes with better hardware, making it (hopefully) at least a little more future proof.

"Better" is subjective, and in this case I would disagree.
