Yeah, this seems targeted at people who want to get into pc gaming but might not have the time/expertise to build a gaming pc for themselves, and are used to the unified experience of a console.
Edit: what it also seems like is a very clever niche market device that would have been perfectly priced at ~$775-$1225 but came out 6-8 months too late to get that pricing and a lot of customers that could still afford it, so missed that sweet spot. It could’ve been a huge boon for Valve, Steam, and pc gaming in general, but the timing of both AI screwing prices for pc components and the whole economy going to shit, it really is bad luck.
