You stated incorrect information then doubled down that your incorrect information was true till finally actually looking it up to then assert that out of 3 consoles $500, $650, and $750 that $650 is not console pricing. So yes, $650 is console pricing, what’re you gonna do tell me I’m wrong again because you have some strong feelings?
Only one of those 3 consoles is comparable to the Steam Machine. You can’t grab a product from a different segment in the market and lump it in with the rest just because they’re the same kind of product. If that were the case, I could just look at a ThinkCentre and say “see? $200 is PC pricing” but thatd be insane — nobody looking to buy a ThinkCentre would ever consider a Steam Machine, and nobody looking to buy the disc or Pro versions of the PS5 will consider a Steam Machine either. So yes, your failure to consider market segments means that you are wrong.
It’s not a console in the same way the Steam Deck isn’t a Switch competitor. I get what you’re saying but putting “console price” at over $750 would just mesh it with PC pricing and then the distinction would be meaningless.
No, the disc driveless PS5 is $500. I’m looking at it right now on the playstation website. The PS5 Pro is $750.
$650 is console pricing now. You don’t have to like it but that is the reality.
Seems like they changed it two months ago. That still puts a $650 price tag 30% above the PS5 MSRP so no, $650 isn’t console pricing.

None of them are comparable to the Steam Machine as it’s not a console. I’m just saying $650 is pretty average console pricing now.

Hmmm let me just look at the title of this post. Oh yeah. PC at PC price. Holy shit no way.
Ah, brilliant argument. Shall I take this as your agreement that $750 is not console pricing?
