With a rumored $1000 price tag, I don’t think it matters how well games run. I think they’ve already priced themselves out of their potential market

Hard disagree. People are acting like this is a console. It's a living room pc. It does everything the consoles do AND functions as a media center AND has no subscription fees all while connecting to your existing Steam, GOG and Epic libraries.

PS5 Pro however is $749.99, costs $80 a year for the ability to take it online and only covers PS4 backward compatibility. Nintendo isn't an apples to apples comparison and Microsoft has all but left the market.

I think in a world where consoles are slipping and new cell phones cost that much or double, this won't be that hard of a sale.
