Why do you think it's more niche? It's a pc, priced reasonably for a pc this size at this time, while the deck is a handheld. Are you saying that PCs are more niche than handhelds nowadays?

    Eh, I'd argue the steam machine isn't a PC to most people that don't already own a PC. Most adverts I've seen of the steam machine promote it very console-like, just with steam and more games. Everyone who reads enough into it, and knows enough about PCs to feel comfortable with Linux, most likely already has a comparable or better PC at home.

    Because a PC enthusiast is more likely to build their own and it's too expensive for a non-enthusiast. The Steam Deck was as popular as it was because of the price.

    Why do you think it's too expensive for non-enthusiasts? I mean it is expensive, just as other PCs became expensive. But if you are not saying that PC sales will stop altogether, then I don't see how SM is niche given that it's priced comparatively to other PCs.
