Something tells me that, given this is discounted $100 less than 6 months since release, this didn't "take the world by storm" like Microsoft thought it would. Doesn't help it doesn't play Xbox games.

Less than 2 months. Came out mid October. This one just has very mediocre/bad performance compared to everything else in the market. It's on about the same performance as the steam deck. The main one (the rog Xbox ally x / the black one) sold pretty well even though it's overpriced. Performance difference between the two is very big.

I dont think that this is geared at the "performance crowd". The Steam Deck performance is fine for many people. However isnt going to take on the biggest games. The problem is that no one knows which games which device can play.

Of course not. And anyone buying a PC should know that. Microsoft has branded its PC gaming as XBox for years.
A non-techie customer may not be aware of this. Imagine a mom buying this "Xbox" for their kid for Christmas to play an Xbox-exclusive title that wasn't also released on PC.
Yes, Microsoft has been working on making exclusives less of a thing, but it's not there yet and plenty of games will say "Made for Xbox" on the shelf that are in a "not this one" scenario.

Valid point. But chances are the kid would be interested in a newer game. What Xbox exclusive hasn't been released on the PC in the past few years?
Is the upgraded ROG Xbox one any good specs wise?
TBH this appeals to me because I can take my Xbox library on the go and have a portable pc and access to all the other pc games. Plus the Xbox controller handles will make it an easy switch.
Open to alternatives, especially at this price point.
