So what's your point? That people who will pay this price do exist, or that they don't?
Because now I feel like you're trying to claim the former, to argue the latter.
A streaming device is not enthusiast hardware.
Again, I'm confused, are you saying there are people who will buy this, or not?
And that's a subjective and arbitrary claim. It has no logical merit in arguing for or against whether people will consider this thing worth the price.
Not, but I think the point has been lost at this point so let's just move on.
Ok. I was confused because then your argument essentially becomes "there are people who will spend a lot of money on their hobbies and professions due to intense emotional investment, but not on this".
I agree that the device, based on what we know, is dumb as hell, but I am also pretty sure, that a lot of playstation players will buy, and even enjoy, this thing.
I mean, I use my SteamDeck ten meters from my PC, just so I can play on the sofa instead of an office chair for a bit.
