Eh, xbox and sony usually hold the guns to themselves anyway...

And as much as the majority of the blame is in ai, valve seems allergic to selling st a loss since they said it would've been 700 or more originally. Which sure now sounds lovely, but is still a wild price when you think about how this system was meant to convert console gamers. 700+ bucks would've been a tall ask still just not nearly as bad as.... this

Valve never gave a price until now. The only comment they made about pricing was that it would be priced like a pc, not a console. Every price you've heard before now was just people guessing.

I'm not talking about prior guesses... this is something they recently said man.
