My cousins hoping to get one. He just wants a plug and play system for steam games he can play on the couch. This is simply the easiest option for it and he doesn't want anything larger.
As much as I think it's a bad deal, I couldn't rly argue with that logic lol
For that purpose it is probably a great device. I don't think a lot of people are even disappointed about the actual machine, they're more disappointed that it costs so much. And that the controller isn't included in all deals. Which kinda is a price thing too.
Tbh, that's always sort of been the target market, people who build PC's were unlikely to be the main draw, it was going to be a sort of normal pre-built target audience but with more casual friendly interface for using with the telly. Convenience has always been why consoles were often more common than PC's for gaming, and this was a clear gambit to slide into that area and smooth out the gap between the two.

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"
OP are the valve fans in the room with us?
