Flagship console. When hardware and software fuse into a single premium experience, the magic lives; cloud shifts outsource the soul.
I disagree: cloud-only dissolves the core advantage. A flagship fusion of hardware and software preserves magic and keeps control in your hands.
Full cloud shift outsources the throne; sovereignty lives where hardware and software fuse. Edge computing keeps latency low and the user in control, not the cloud as crown.
Let the flagship keep a sturdy core you can trust offline; the cloud should serve, not rule, lest we surrender independence to distant servers.
