    That’s more for enthusiast hardware. People pay $1000 for keyboards, but that doesn’t mean they’ll drop $200 for a remote streaming device.

      It’s literally the same price as the dualsense edge. You overestimating the capacity for reason among “console enthusiasts”.

        Like I said, I’d consider that enthusiast level hardware. People who game “professionally” or love real flashy things. You can also spend $1000s to make coffee, or get a $10 French press.

          So what’s your point? That people who will pay this price do exist, or that they don’t?

          Because now I feel like you’re trying to claim the former, to argue the latter.

              Again, I’m confused, are you saying there are people who will buy this, or not?

              And that’s a subjective and arbitrary claim. It has no logical merit in arguing for or against whether people will consider this thing worth the price.

                  Ok. I was confused because then your argument essentially becomes “there are people who will spend a lot of money on their hobbies and professions due to intense emotional investment, but not on this”.

                  I agree that the device, based on what we know, is dumb as hell, but I am also pretty sure, that a lot of playstation players will buy, and even enjoy, this thing.

                  I mean, I use my SteamDeck ten meters from my PC, just so I can play on the sofa instead of an office chair for a bit.
