Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine

Michael Pachter is, was, and always will be a complete idiot. Back in the PS2 era he stated that it was no big deal if Sony sold out in North America, they could just move units over from Europe… ignoring the fact that both the video and electricity standards don’t match.
$700 isn’t a “death sentence”, know how we know this?
ROG Xbox Ally X - $1000
PS5 Pro - $750
Xbox Series X - $650
ROG Xbox Ally - $600
PS5 - $550
Steam Deck - $550
Xbox Series S - $450
If Valve REALLY wanted to break people’s brains, they would release a “Supply your own RAM and storage” version for $399.

I’m game for the barebones version. As a matter of fact, that’s what I’m hoping they do, otherwise, I don’t think I’ll get a Steam Machine.

Honestly, if they make it with upgradable RAM, M2 SSD and GPU you’re essentially buying 1 and getting gen 2 and 3 for 50% off.

Michael Pachter being wrong and comically out of touch was a running joke in the comments sections of Ars Technica and gamesindustry.biz back in the day. He is to industry analysts what Jim Kramer is to investing advisors.
