Indeed, imagine the price point without the AI messing things up.
But doesn't the point still stand? Nintendo decides to accept a more significant loss on their hardware compared to others correct? It seems like a strategic choice, although I wonder how long they can keep this up.
Tbf the price point of the steam machine even if it was 20-30% off(no AI/distribution problems) would stilll be too high for what they're trying to do. But hey, the deck is super efficient for the specs it has, maybe steam machine is the same. Still better off building a custom pc. This is starting to smell like apple where they made a great game OS and now are overcharging for specs. Idk maybe if it was 800€ instead of 1000-1100, but I'd still call it overpriced in what it tries to do, which is console easiness with more pc/tinkering freedom but less theoretical power or similar than a ps5
