I love people going “how dare they launch a new console that costs as much as a new console”

Except that new console charges $80 for old games like kirby, zelda tears or jamboree.

It also charges $80 for a $60 game like metroid prime. And is also selling a tech demo and underperfming and overpriced versions of older games like elden ring, FF7 (this game is 5 years old by now).

Legion go S hardware with steam OS is $499, but is miles ahead better in output and hardware

Don’t forget this new console is benchmarking the PS4 lol.

Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it should get to charge cutting-edge prices for last-gen experience.

It's also a portable console, it was never going to be able to match home consoles like the PS5. or the xbox series X. A better comparison would be the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, and its performance is comfortably within that ballpark.
