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.
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
