While I like the concept... isn't that a bit of what killed the initial steam machines. IE they basically encouraged everyone and their grandmother to release one... and the end result was the name was dilluted down so badly that no one knew what a steam machine was.

I think it's fine.

The first party device has existed over a year now, proved its worth, and become more widely understood by gamers.

Android suffers from fragmentation, sure, but it being used by a variety of manufacturers hasn't stopped people from understanding that android is android, and can do similar things whether you buy a phone/tablet for 200 bucks, or 2000.
