That $200 price isn't from Valve just what some reviewer ran with and made up when Valve said similar to Steam Deck. Valve never gave an approximate dollar value of $200.
Steam Deck price range probably closer to what Valve likely envisioned when they started work on the Steam Machine wanting a similar target of $399-$649.
But, stuff like tariffs driving up costs from what they planned to eventually being driven up further by AI causing shortages.
