alt Hacker News>It's just dead-on-arrival...the hardware is generations out of date
Some people say this same thing about the Nintendo Switch and its successor, but here we are, with the former closing in on highest selling console of all time, and the latter tracking above that.

Who thought that? The switch was an explosion when it launched.
Not OC, but I believe the RAM price surge is what will kill the Steam Machine. For the same price, you can get a gaming laptop with better specs.
I don't remember anyone saying this about the Switch and at the time, the reviews for North America at least were very positive.
Because a console is a console.
Look at the PS2. Incredible games on bespoke custom harware.
We didnt know how good we had it.
Nobody cares about the Switch hardware, they but it to play Nintendo games.
This is just a x86 PC.
Sure, but I didn't buy a Switch because of its power or because of its form factor. I bought it because that was the way to play Zelda.
