    That’s a fair point to disagree on. Fundamentally, I see it as a console that can also do PC stuff as opposed as a PC that can be played in the living room.

    The price is probably more competitive for those who think of it as a PC first, I just don’t know if that is a market segment that can lead to a profit.

      Well keep in mind the Steamdeck was sold at a loss as well. I think this is less a money making venture for VALVE and more angling to bring a easy to use alternative to windows systems to the market. I’ll agree that some people will likely balk at the price tag but at the end of the day especially with the hardware shortages in the pc space I’m almost certain that they will have a hard time keeping them in stock if they are able up put them out this year.
