If they're expecting people to use the Frame with the Machine, then they'd probably want the Machine on the market first. I'm not totally clear on the strategy. They obviously made it "standalone", but will there be enough content to release it as such?

I certainly plan to buy it specifically to use with the Machine.

That's not consoles, that's cartridges.

don't give up hope, sub 700€

I think those were listed specifically as controllers. Here's the previous "leak" :

I doubt they'd shadow drop it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it then
