Why are they so bad at naming things

Since nobody else posted it in the comments yet: 600 euros for the base version, 900 for whatever the X version is.

OP, remember this isn't Reddit, we can put the actual number in the title of the post.

If that counts as a console, every PC counts (everything's an Xbox, according to MS), then a $6000 prebuilt is a more expensive Xbox.

I mean a console is just a PC running a locked OS.

So maybe "XBOX OS" is locked down, or maybe they're just trying to advertise it as a user friendly controller-first experience.

Most expensive branded Xbox yet.

Who was expecting this to be console pricing? This is essentially a full laptop in a tiny form factor, of course it's gonna cost more like a laptop or you know, all of the other handheld PCs out there.

That’s not a box

Ofc they're aiming for more money.

Well, to be completely fair, this kind of hardware is expensive.
