  I think this is the goal that it would be priced competitively with the Pro or higher end consoles

  They’ve built an ecosystem that gives you that console experience and if you really want to use it as a PC then you can.

  The whole thing screams high quality experience for those that want it to just work or those that want to tinker

  They really know their audience

  So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc

  The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.

  You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony

  Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3

  The Ukraine military has been using steam decks on the front line Do you really think it’s affected their bottom line?

  They actually do, they’re just locked down from factory

  Remember that PS2 natively supported this and modern consoles like the Switch can boot directly into desktop Linux.

  The steam deck is also a small PC, just like the consoles and was priced perfectly for success

  Neither give you any return at this point unless you’re working at scale
