Yes. Kinda. Some games from the X1 era aren't available on PC, like Halo 5. X360 games that are backwards compatible but weren't actually released for PC, like Red Dead Redemption, won't be available either.

Problem isn't that, since the handheld is just running windows it can only run games with a PC release. If the game was never ported to PC they currently have no way to play it. They really thought through the whole release real well.

Microsoft approved PCs are becoming consoles.

PCs are becoming consoles

The Amiga dream is finally coming true

Not all Xbox players, clearly. With Microsoft doubling down on not having any physical media containing the full retail game on disk from Xbox 1 onwards, every one of those accounts are hosed unless they have an archive of all the downloaded files needed.

My advice to them - mod your consoles (360 and below) if you have them, rip your discs, and get ready for when Xbox services (for console hardware) are sunset.

All 3 consoles of that generation (PS 3, Xbox 360 and Wii) used custom PowerPC cores suplied by IBM.

Before anyone says anything, Yes, the Cell CPU on the PS3 had a PPC core paired with 7 vectorual units, so it counts.

I guess it depends on how you define PC. But older consoles also used CPUs that were found in desktops (and laptops), although they weren't PCs in the strict sense.

• Sega Mega Drive (and other consoles) used the Motorola 68K that was also used on Macintosh and Amiga.
• Game Gear and Sega Master System used the Zilog Z80 which was also used in the ZX Spectrum and other computers.
• N64, PSOne, PS2 used MIPS CPUs which were often used in high-end computer systems (SGI).

Consoles did often have custom GPUs though.

That being said, these days both Playstation and Xbox are literally locked down, custom form factor, AMD Ryzen CPU + Radeon GPU PCs.

I find SteamOS to be as un-complicated as any other modern console tbh.
