Some criticism regarding regarding mobile gaming. John, I find your answer leaves a bit to be desired to be honest. If you add a clip on gamepad to your mobile phone you basically end up with a portable device very much like a Switch, while still using up less space in your back pack than a dedicated console even when using a full XBone gamepad + holder and likely still having a better OLED screen than what I assume the Switch Pro will have. Its also of course way cheaper buying an additional gamepad and a holder for it for your existing phone than buying a whole new game console just to play games on the go. I honestly think this solution should be way more popular than it is already even though the number of gamepads designed for mobile already exploded in recent years. And as we know from the Switch games designed for home uses can actually be very successful on portable devices. I personally experimented a bit with in home streaming (both using the Moonlight app that relies on the Nvidia API used to stream inhome to the Nvidia Shield devices as well as the Steam app) and had a great experience playing titles like Hollow Knight, Tony Hawk 1+2 or MK11 on my phone just as I would on PC. So if streaming over the internet can extend that type of usage to people on the go I can certainly see the appeal for it. Also phones make pretty good emulation devices and IMO 8 / 16 bit games feel more natural there than on a large gaming monitor or TV. Also while there are good mobile games I has a core gamer see honestly very little appeal to me due to there mostly pay to win / progress design and the mostly very casual gameplay loop. The only games I really had fun this far on my phone or tablet are games coming from other platforms (even when only relying on mobile) and I often see that opinion echoed on mobile phone centric forums or subreddits. Other than that as a VR and modding focused gamer and cares about consumer rights and freedom I personally actually hope that the whole commercial cloud gaming sector stays a niche at best. But even I have to admit that for example being able to continue to play the title I currently grinding on PC during my 30 minute work break on my phone provides a lot of value that shouldn't be underestimated. I wouldn't be surprised if cloud gaming ends up being one pillar the SteamPal thingy concept stands on.

Really looking forward to the FSR video! Lots of videos on youtube setting expectations maybe a little bit too high...

It would be great if digital foundry videos were more OLED friendly. It seems they have gotten better recently but there are still times where borders are around people or static text is on screen in the same place allot.
