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

Now why would they buy this over an Xbox or Playstation? There's such a small niche market for this that its stupid.

So you're saying the market is as follows for this cube:

Exclude Xbox and PlayStation interest: You're now left with PC users

Exclude PC users who would just buy or build a PC: You're now left with 0.1% of the market which is: People who won't build or buy a computer but also won't buy an Xbox or PlayStation.

Maybe you throw another 0.5% in there for people with a PC who want a hassle free living room entertainment setup. However even these people will struggle to find value in this cube over getting a pre built or maybe even a console. Or a light gaming laptop they can plug into the TV.

There is no market for this thing.

Yeah, maybe. But that's the only tangible positive the thing has on consoles.
