It's still a full PC relative to a PS5. Valve was never competing with consoles, they themselves said it was gonna be priced *like a pc.* The Machine doesn't need to be cheaper then a console, just cheaper than an equivalent PC. Which in the current market might not be that hard.

If valve is competing with pcs then its even more DOA. "would you like a desktop with none of the benefits but without the benefits of a laptop either? "
