      Nah releasing a console is crazy accounts of work and money. They switched to software-only for a reason.

        Nintendo is the only one with a reason to keep making consoles. Xbox and PS5 are essentially PCs in a fancy box (although PS5 has a really fancy sound card)

            Exactly, it’s a portable you can dock to a TV. The PS5 is a fancy alternative-hardware pc. The Xbox is literally a PC. I suppose you could make an argument for price, but hardware wise they’re not really all that special these days.

            This is why Steam Deck is such a game changer.

          I think the next best thing we could get would be Sega releasing a Dreamcast Mini, which apparently they thought about, but scrapped.

      I would love an arcade cabinet with most of their games remastered on it. So once they get through a few of these launches, release something like a Steam Machine arcade cabinet for $500-1000 with a huge library of games. I think it would sell well, and it would be fantastic marketing.

      A steam deck competitor or something like Atari’s recent console is more likely than a PlayStation or Xbox competitor.
