A cheap $100 to $200 Windows 10 computer with a 500GB storage drive, 8 GB of RAM will make the computer specs similar to the Xbox One which also runs on Windows 10. More Xbox One console gamers may choose to play offline downloadable and physical disc games on a Windows 10 computer with 500GB storage and 8GB RAM instead of playing Stadia online-only games which will suffer from slowdown problems caused by slow internet speeds, or losing access to all Stadia games if there is a problem with Stadia or your ISP goes offline for some reason.
I feel more gamers with 500Gb storage space and 8GB RAM on their $200 Windows 10 will choose to mostly play games installed on a 500 GB Internal PC hard drive If their cheap $100 to $200 PC also have 8 GB of RAM to run the game without getting "out of RAM" errors and getting game freezes caused by low RAM problems. Games on a cheap PC may not look as nice as Stadia games, but users don't need to worry about randomly disconnecting from their internet connection, or Google shutting down Stadia and losing all their games, save files, game mods, trophys, and other game data. There is also a chance that Google randomly delete their account or lock/ban it, so they can't play their Stadia games until Google unlock/unban their account.
Most $100 to $200 Windows 10 PC come with slower CPUs like Intel Celerons and onboard Intel video chips, but there are fun games which can be played on slower computers in offline single player and offline multiplayer with two controllers in split screen monitor viewing mode for racing and shooter games. But, Google Stadia always needs a fast and reliable internet connection for playing a whole game for many hours a day. Installing a $60 video card on a Desktop PC can increase the number of games which a cheap PC can play at higher video quality settings.
Plus, users with a PC with a DVD disc drive and USB ports can still play their PC games stored on CD/DVD or USB flash drive which they bought from a store when Steam and Gog.com did not exist or was unpopular many years ago.
There are many 2D games like Pac-man, older/retro games like Quake 3 or Grand Theft Auto 3, free open source games like Tux Racer, console emulators, mobile games ported to PC like Fruit Ninja, and less CPU and video card intensive newer games which can run at a playable speed without very noticeable slow down problems where the game freezes for a second or crashes when being played.
There are also many fans of cheap gaming devices like Nintendo Mini, Snes mini, Ouya, NVIDIA shield tablet, etc, so a cheap pc with 500gb of storage, 8gb ram, and Intel Celeron may sell well for gamers who dont want to spend over $200 on a PC for gaming.
Cheap PCs can also be used for doing basic video and photo editing of gameplay video and screenshots of games, and backing up game save files to a USB h ard drive.
