    If only there was something to be done to slash the price while not losing anything important like using an OS that is FREE… But alas, there’s no such thing, I guess we’ll have to stick with windows, adding the license price to a hardware that is already expensive…

    That title is cringe as fuck. There’s nothing concerning about it at all. Market saw Steam Deck’s success so they dove in. Whether they survive is dependent on if they provide good price points or justification for a higher price. Super simple.

      Sell 15K units at 900 a pop, or sell 150K units at 500 a pop…

      We don’t know the margins on these things but I’d think that higher volume sales would be better. But what do I know.
