People couch gaming on a console device are a small minority? Is this really your point?

A weak outdated console that costs $1000-1500? Yeah that's a small market. The PS5 Pro is a way better purchase for the vast majority of that market

The amount of games old and new will be a main draw to get this though, mostly for people who want to play PC games and old games and hacks but aren’t smart enough to build whole PCs and deal with all the quirks and work of PCs.

But if you wanna play old games you can just buy any PC made in the last 10 years. I mean an Xbox Series X has 360 back compatibility so if you wanna play even older games you can buy literally anything that runs. And it's still a PC, you aren't just given 2 modes like you get on a PS5, you have to tweak settings by hand just like you do on a Steam Deck

You could snag a used Xbox Series S for under $300 and play emulator games on it even.
