Yeah, I bought it because it was an interesting form factor, not too expensive, and I could repurpose it if I ended up not liking the Steam experience. I honestly play 99% Steam games, so I'm liking it a lot.

I don't buy most consoles (except Switch) because they're not interesting form factors, games are generally a lot more expensive, and it'll just become ewaste.

If Sony made a good, standalone handheld, I might get it. If Microsoft continued the Kinect, I might get an Xbox (I had the 360 for Kinect in the past). But no, neither is compelling, so I don't buy them.
