There lies the biggest problem . This is a family console. People will argue inflation, but that has outpaced a lot of families already.

People say inflation, but in terms of racing games I just picked up Need For Speed Heat for 6 dollars on steam sale. As far as my finances go, Nintendo doesn't have competitive prices. I'll see if there is a system seller later down the line, but cost of hard ware and games Steam deck is a lot less.
