competing with the asus ally is simple. It doesn't have enough battery life to play games at full resolution and high refresh rate without being plugged in, it isn't as efficient at lower power gaming as the existing steam deck, and it costs more than the steam deck. It's PR claims were a lot better than the benchmarks, and I don't really need a portable that requires being plugged in all the time to be effective - thats sort of missing the whole point.
