The Pi is probably too powerful for the hobbiest game market just like your saying. I think the Playdate also somewhat fills that niche but maybe the Pi could be something in between the two extremes of modern consoles power and the 8bit fantasy consoles. For it to work and avoid the issues with PCs it'd need a unified controller, sdk, and a single model that games would be made for. You're a 100% corect though it'd be a lot harder to make games for compared to fantasy consoles.
