same as the X21, budget PCs.
they can afford to sell these at a lower price point than consumers could source the parts themselves because there going to be mass produced.
also size most PCs are fairly large, much bigger and less portable than consoles.
there trying to turn PCs into the form factor and affordability of consoles, while keeping the openess of PCs.
whether that will be successful im not so sure, people like building their own PCs, and if they wanted something portable whats wrong with a tablet or laptop?
more portable than consoles really, thinner, lighter, and they have a screen attached to them!

they have the experience and cashola to back them up on it.
whether consumers will be interested in it im not so sure as i said yesterday, but it wont be valves under preparation that screws things up.
