Sohnix MechaByte

The Sohnix MechaByte (codenamed "MixByte") is a home console created by Sohnix as their first home console debut. It is designed to be similar to the Sony PlayStation 4 and the V2 but with its focus on the PC gaming qualities such as modding (which includes store specifically for mods), built-in streaming, and an online digital distribution platform, similar to Valve's Steam. The console supports game developers across the world to share their released games.
Reception for the console is TBA(?)
==History==
Sohnix MechaByte has been developing in early alpha since around the time, Sohnix was developing software for the Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. With the success of the V2 and Pacifico and the growth of PC gaming, Sohnix attempts to create a video game market that will capture the mixture of PC Gaming and console gaming. Originally, the console was codenamed as "MixByte" but due to similar names with other companies, it was changed to MechaByte, which was inspired by the term, "mecha (or giant robots)."
== Hardware ==
===Console===
The Sohnix MechaByte hardware has a thin, slim console design, equipped with custom Intel CPU with 4.7 GHz Turbo and a custom Nvidia GPU alongside 16 GB of memory.

The console is capable for its graphics output in 4K resolution, and both its console and the controller itself can be given color schemes (from different colors to customs based on different franchises, such as Batman, Spider-Man and Sohnix-owned Tigzon)
===Controllers===
The Sohnix MechaByte controller, titled as "the Mecha-Duel" is somewhat similar to Xbox One's controller and Nintendo Switch's Pro Controller but with its differences.
