This conversation started with you saying you expected Valve to sell the Machine at a loss, me explaining why that's unlikely, followed by you saying the Deck was definitely sold at a loss. You can't backpedal that to near loss now.

Wtf are you talking about!? This conversation started with me saying I hope they sell the console at 499 and I don’t know why they wouldn’t consider selling at a loss for hardware, which would be following a proven strategy used by so many other companies (including themselves!!) trying to break into a market.

Go back and reread my first comment? $499 is absolutely not happening.

Lmao, your first comment is what I’m arguing against! Incredible dialectic, really.
