No, talking about the steam machine. There are still people that think it’s going to release at like $400-$500 lol. It’s going to be over $1k for PS4 level power.
Ah. I’ve not been following price rumors/talks. And $399 made me think of the old steam deck pricing. Wild that someone would be that convinced a more powerful chunk of hardware would be so much less expensive than current steam deck prices.
Handhelds and consoles are different though. Consoles/PCs don't have screens or controllers built in, or a battery. Most of the cost of handhelds is in making them handheld.
