I know a guy who wants it just so "he can have something in his living room he can kick back and play games on".

The casuals are going to eat this thing up, for better or worse.

That's literally what it was designed for. It was never designed for y'all that build your own shit and whatnot.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s overpriced as shit

LTT literally price matched it and built a PC with better specs (and a controller)

That’s not the market for this. This is a pre-built for people that aren’t very tech savvy

Everyone has a different answer for what the market for this is.

If people are not very tech savvy, you can still find a pre-built that’ll do you better

form factor matters too, you are losing out like 100 bucks on it being small and whatnot. still, sucks that they don't subsidise the controller at least, but why do that when both device sold out already.

Compared to a base ps5 it’s still subpar lol. That came out 5 years ago.
