Game consoles work on slim margins or even a loss that is made back by licensed game and accessory sales. This is very anti-Apple. Compare the hardware of something like the $300 Xbox Series S to the $600 Mac Mini. The Xbox has 2GB more RAM, a beefier GPU, twice the storage space and includes a controller (~$50 value) and an HDMI cable in addition to the power cable which is all that's bundled with the mini. AAA games eat storage too taking typically 30-100+ GBs. Baldur's Gate 3 for example is 125GB. Xbox has relatively expensive sort of proprietary storage upgrades where 1TB is $150 but it looks downright cheap compared to what Apple asks for 1TB.
