  But it’s also a handheld console so that doesn’t really track.

  An entry level gaming PC doesn’t have to have a battery and it doesn’t have to have a screen which are big expenses. You can’t just take the price of the steam deck and multiply it because so much time has passed between the releases of the two products and they’re not equivalent anyway. It’s an apples to oranges comparison.

    Yes, so an entry level gaming PC without any extras like screens should be even cheaper

  True, but it’s also nowhere near $1000.
