The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

    If this post is intended as discussion material; No, not as long that I have my stationary computer that fills my gaming needs.

      I guess if you have a stationary computer that fills your gaming needs you really aren’t the target group regardless of the price.

        Who is?

        There is zero market for an underpowered “PC” console with less VRAM than literally every other current console including switch 2 that is gimped from half of PC games by Linux.

        This thing just does not make any sense

        Unless they reveal a huge list of exclusives, this is dead in the water.

          Who is?

          My ex wife for one, who would like to play Steam games but is not experienced enough to build and fiddle with a gaming PC, much less Linux, and just wants a box she can just plug in and turn on without calling all the IT folks in her family.

          Don’t forget about our nerd bias. Most people here have a different perspective than 95% of normies. Remember how clueless the average person is about the inner workings of modern tech.
