    It isn’t though? PS portal is $200 and first edition Steam decks are going for $300 on eBay lightly used…

      I mean, just going by the feature being discussed here, that refurb non-oled doesn’t have HDR.

      The steam deck is a better device by far. By leaps and bounds. It is nice that there is a cheaper option for those that already have a Playstation though. You can get a 15 year old BMW for the price of a base kia. It doesn’t make KIAs and BMWs comparable vehicles.

      Both things can exist and have their niche. This need not be a competition. The steamdeck has actual competition, the PS portal ain’t it. It’s a different animal that happens to have similar form factor.
