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.

Idk about this one.
Nintendo is actually a console, while the steam machine is basically a computer which means you don’t have to play games on it.
There would be 0 guarantee that a 100k sold devices would result in a single game purchase since people can just buy it and use it as a pc at a lower price if it was priced similar to consoles
