The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

      There is absolutely no way they’re selling it for less than $400. Whoever said that has absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.

      They told LTT that they were planning to price it competitively with entry-level PC’s, not consoles

        Bro, the steam deck was $400 for the base model when new. I got a base model for $330 a few months after release. $400 is really low for this, but it also doesn’t have a screen and battery. I’m guessing (hoping) for $600 base model.
