The digital PS5 is $450 and the Xbox Series X has about 15% of the marketshare, proving people won’t stand for ridiculous prices.

No, the disc driveless PS5 is $500. I’m looking at it right now on the playstation website. The PS5 Pro is $750.
$650 is console pricing now. You don’t have to like it but that is the reality.

Seems like they changed it two months ago. That still puts a $650 30% above the PS5 MSRP so no $650 isn’t console pricing.

You stated incorrect information then doubled down that your incorrect information was true till finally actually looking it up to then assert that out of 3 consoles $500, $650, and $750 that $650 is not console pricing. So yes, $650 is console pricing, what’re you gonna do tell me I’m wrong again because you have some strong feelings?

Only one of those 3 consoles is comparable to the Steam Machine. You can’t grab a product from a different segment in the market and lump it in with the rest just because they’re the same kind of product. If that were the case, I could just look at a ThinkCentre and say “see? $200 is PC pricing” but that would be insane because nobody looking to buy a ThinkCentre would consider a Steam Machine – just like nobody looking to buy a PS5 Pro or the disc-version of the PS5 will consider a Steam Machine either. So yes, youe failure to consider market segments means that you are wrong.
