I think people underestimate what consumers are actually willing to pay for high end gaming hardware. Their pitch is going to be that it’s a PC with Xbox compatibility. For most gamers looking at this, their competing option would be a gaming laptop.
Or it could be a fat fucking flop cause it’s overpriced and has a stupid fucking name.

Not really. I got 2 kids. I sometimes have an hour a day to play. And even then it’s decision paralysis of what to play that I can get a satisfying enough session in the little time I have.
I have a steam deck and it’s handy, but I also have game pass and I’ve been wanting to play some gamepass games on it. So it becomes the decision paralysis of what do I play. I would love to play games like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or Civilization or Cities Skylines but I don’t have that kind of time to dedicate to complete a FULL session anymore.

If memory serves me right, this was supposed to be a “Steamboat Willie” game originally. When the copyright expired this was one of the trailers I remember making headlines. It looks like they decided to make it their own. Honestly it looks so well done, I’m happy they just decided to do their own thing.
In my experience, windows is an awful UX for gaming but it is very easy to install and run unauthorized games. Steam deck requires a bit more heavy lifting and patience.
I ran windows on my deck for a year and switched back because the experience is terrible and nothing works quite right. I haven’t used the newer windows handhelds, but the upcoming ROG might fix some of the issues with booting into windows and doing constant updates
