What exactly is it that prevents a PlayStation from playing an Xbox game?
A dell PC can play the same games that an Acer can.
Why can't we have some sort of standardized console operating system like android where different companies can design their own console systems all of which can play the same games?
Oh, is it simply because of capitalist proprietary bullshit? Okay that's fine.
Except Valve is doing with the Steam deck. And if Google could be bothered to take it seriously, Android could also be a contender.
What, emulating x86 games on Android?
The latest Xbox and PS consoles are basically x86 PC's with a AMD CPU and a locked down operating system. The Xbox uses a system based on Windows 10 (games are running in separate OS containers, basically Window VMs in HyperV) and the PS is using Sony's Orbis OS, what based upon FreeBSD.
