PS5 Pro: PRObably not for you
Even if it's priced too highly, the PS5 Pro will probably sell pretty well. The Playstation Portal is very overpriced for what it is, and yet it's sold very well. There's a lot of Playstation fans with money to burn apparently.
The whole reason I bought my Steamdeck was because I couldn’t get the Portal (thanks to scalpers).
Now I hardly ever turn the PS5 on because I am playing tons of games on Steam instead. When I do I am usually running something over my LAN via Chiaki to my Deck so others in my house can watch TV.

Now that the Steam Deck and linux gaming has found some success I really hope Valve or someone else revisits the home console market with a similar approach.
You couldn't really build a PC for the same price as a PS5 with the same performance unless you're buying used parts in most places but that's not because Sony is selling consoles at a loss right now like the olden days. A large system integrator like Valve (or xbox if they want to change their formula) could offer similar perf/price without all the downsides of these locked down consoles.
Honestly I think the trick for valve there would just be to release a build of steam OS people can install themselves into desktops (if they don't already) and just have folks building their own machine for TV pc use.

I love the steamdeck. In almost always dock it and use it as my default computer.
If I did not NEED windows for a SINGLE work app, it would probably be my only computer.
Can you plug a steam deck to the tv and use a controller? Cause if not, I don't want it
Steam Deck + USB type C dock + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller. You're done
Sure, but don't expect incredible graphics on a 4k display. It's a handheld after all.

My thing is if Sony wants me to pay computer prices, it better act like a computer. If it doesn't and the trend continues with PS6 then that's the end of me buying PlayStations.
PS5 Pro - only marginally better than an option that's only $450.
Steam Deck OLED - only marginally better than an option that's only $300.
