Elliot explains: "If the Steam Machine launches above $500, it risks being perceived as an expensive niche PC (like the rumoured next-generation Xbox) rather than an accessible living-room gaming option.

"The sweet spot would be $400 with a controller. This would really send a message, as console manufacturers have been raising their prices. A digital PS5 costs $499, while the Xbox Series X Digital is $599.
 
$399 for the 512GB version sounds like it would be a very reasonable price point, given the hardware specs. Buying the MicroSD card for expansion is always something that can be a "down the road" thing, because I reckon people are already used to having to uninstall and reinstall games they don't play very often anyway.
