I don't get why these articles never seem to address that the main thing about the steam deck is the price (and obviously performance and quality at that price)—nothing will rival it unless it hits the same price point.
This new handheld looks interesting for sure, but if it's priced like all the other steam deck alternatives, it'll be as successful as the rest of them
I agree. These Steam Deck competitors all seem to do more or less the same thing: Beef up the hardware, slightly bump the battery capacity. I don't know how many people are realistically doing intense gaming for an hour before they have to recharge their handheld, but maybe these companies see a market there.
