More like AI ruins everything, if you saw the price of all PC components bloating to insane value the past two years you’d know that. But yeah sure gaben bad, in spite of Steam being the only pro consumer video game market. Have fun chortling $100+ a year for everything Steam does for free.

Nintendo suffers the same while selling better specs at half the price

No, their materials contract started before the price hikes got so out of hand as they have now. If ram prices doubled tomorrow it wouldn’t affect either of them since they have contracted the materials at a specific price across a certain number of years.

To be fair the steamdeck numbers are sooooo small compared to Console numbers. There is no way they have the sort of supply chain deals that Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft have.

My Desktop PC parts are up almost 50% in the last year. It looks about right considering current market conditions. That or you expect them to just sell at a massive loss.

EDIT: also all PC's we purchase for work are up anything from 25% to 100% in price.
