Found the hottest take so far:

Dude is basically making this out to being a device for nobody, worse than the Switch and not of much use. Like he even went so far as to go directly to PCGamer's twitter account to toss in his vid and throw up a shitty "guess you won't be playing X/Y Ninty games then" as if that's all gaming is.

Now granted the article title is clearly clickbait, but at the same time, that site and account are for PC gaming, so why is a fanboy coming directly to a PCgaming's twitter account if not to look for a fight?. I've been noticing over time that some console only's are showing up in their threads the past year, and it's almost always got to do with some stupid scrap fight. The dude above is a prime example, especially when you watch vid video and hear the take. 

Yea, it feels like there's a good number of people, especially in the Nintendo camp completely missing the point of this. They think that this is supposed to be a Vita replacement and thus feel threatened by it for some reason.

In reality, what this does is bring something completely unique to the table.

It's a portable gaming PC that costs $529. Nintendo never did anything like that, Sony never did anything like that, MS didn't either. Console people always harp on the fact that PCs are super expensive and you know what, because of the chip shortages and what not, yes, at least with this generation, PCs gaming has been super expensive to the point where if you are on a budget... It would be very hard to get a good gaming PC.

This on the other hand, it does quite a lot. Because of it's 800p resolution and specs, it will be able to play a ton of games even on the go. And then if you want to use this as a normal PC by attaching it to a monitor for light gaming, office work or just surfing the internet, it will work there to! It significantly lowers the barrier to entry for PC gaming and that's what's so good about it. It has some flaws but this is the type of device that I always wanted and compared to something like a GPD Win 3 which starts at $800 USD for weaker components, it's a steal!
