Man its gotta be a tough time to launch a console that can be cost competitive.

I gotta say, business wise they ara handling well IMO, although who knows if it will work on yhe long run.

Due to high demand, Playnix Console will be sold in monthly batches and to offer you the best possible price, we adjust the cost of each batch based on the actual price of components (especially RAM) at the time of manufacturing. This means the price may vary from one batch to the next.

So far they've sold out the first three batches already, so either they're lowballing their production runs or demand is strong.

At this point selling PCs without ram & storage is starting to sound like a reasonable thing. Especially as they claim it's "upgradeable" as one of their major selling points and it uses standard DDR4 ram and NVME SSDs, so many people interested have spares from old builds collecting dust.
