I'm curious to see how the price will be affected as consumer PCs get stronger every year. Will they update the Steam Machine every couple of years, or will they decrease the price? I have to assume they are targeting a neutral price because their primary goal is to assemble a linux box with as little margin as possible and put it in front of you for an actual fair price, but "fair price" is a moving target.

Personally, I'm all for getting what I pay for. People who sell to you at a loss are up to something.

I find it amusing how much discussion there is around the price of this when it only ships to like 1/4th of the world. If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.

Depends. I still remember when the PS4 price was unveiled in Brazil. Back then, it cost the equivalent of ~1700 dollars

That's the first batch, if it will get traction it will be shipped to the rest of the world in no time

Steamdeck still hasn't been available in many places :( let's hope. With how pc prices are looking, I just want a decent console that can run my steam library and minecraft.

As long as I can buy it with one Troy ounce of pure gold and not more, it's a good price.
