Gpi case 2 would be a cheaper purchase. Only lacking a joystick and two other buttons, which really only os helpful for psx games which run okay at best on cm4 hardware.

Not, but I think the point has been lost at this point so let’s just move on.

A streaming device is not enthusiast hardware.

Like I said, I’d consider that enthusiast level hardware. People who game “professionally” or love real flashy things. You can also spend $1000s to make coffee, or get a $10 French press.

Man, Tony Hawk sure has changed since I was a kid.

So I could pay $200 for a 1080p streaming device, which I can do on my phone for free, instead of just buying another 1080p TV which I can use for general use? And it’s only in my own household, over wifi assuming the wifi isn’t congested?

Sign me up, sounds like a fantastic deal! /s

For the low price of an entire wii u (at its time of release).

That’s more for enthusiast hardware. People pay $1000 for keyboards, but that doesn’t mean they’ll drop $200 for a remote streaming device.
