Message: [QUOTE="PhaseJump, post: 373008, member: 72924"] Valve has spoken more about it and imply it's price will be comparable to a similar PC build and the features like hdmi cec, the small case, low noise, the convenience is going to make it more compelling. Not even considering the ram prices, I now expect the thing is going to be 700 or 800. Probably dead on arrival as a console vs PS5 and eventually next gen. A nothing burger for many PC gamers who have rigs already. An upgrade for 70% of Steam users that will be priced too close to better gaming prebuilts and laptops. 8gb vram limit will probably just influence more developers to adjust preset settings and a whole pile of people will be staring at crappy textures for years longer than necessary. Probably a few million sales, a missed opportunity to excite and upend a boring hardware industry. If they flop on conventional PC builds, they can and likely will pivot over to FEX and start pushing more ARM builds. I expect Steam Deck 2 to rip that band-aid off in a few years. Might just be a Frame in a Deck form factor, depending on how well it performs against the current Van Gogh APU. Fingers crossed for 500 or 600 though. The possibility is there for them to do it and still make money. 600 today is cutting edge console competitive, and the weaker specs are way more acceptable.
