@gavi @GamingNews Sony and Nintendo is in a prolonged consol war, in Japan. They are probably trying to price out Sony now when Sony have discovered that the portable market exist again.
Nintendo probably also want to price out the steam deck while they can. A virtual monopoly on the home market is hard to come by.
