What? lol comparable devices with worse specs go for $1000, why are you comparing this to like a Retroid in price?
Because it has no set purpose to me outside of being a novelty.. It just lets me combine my PC backlog with my not PC backlog. The pricetag for that feels asininely high to the point where I can't even seriously consider a purchase.

My bet is that this is the kind of thing a small hardcore base will buy early, and then the sales will crash down hard and never recover.

I agree that, for the level of tech, it's probably worth $399. I just highly suspect most people won't consider it worth $399 to them. I gave the pricepoint I'd personally consider buying it at, and it's around 1/4-1/3 of the base asking price.
