Another mad peasant.

Unless these Steam "Machines" have worthwhile exclusives, those of us who game on consoles won't even consider picking one up. I can't think of a reason why PC gamers would want one either. Just connect your PC to your tv and launch big picture mode. If anything i'm more intrigued by AMDs latest initiative to allow devs to "program to the metal" of high end cards. But even that may turn out to be useless if devs build their games for the lowest common denominator.

The only way you will see exclusive at this point is if developers make games only on the SteamOS the steam machines are just PCs you can either run windows or steamOS and play the games on steam which are windows/mac/linux games.

This isn't the death of consoles. Steam machines are pre-built systems similar to PC's you can get from cyberpower, dell/alienware, etc. You will be able to upgrade the components inside too. So it isn't a console. This is targeted to those that want to game on the PC but don't want to build one themselves. Hopefully though this means the end of having to use windows to game on the PC. The PC has been needing of a dedicated gaming os for a while now. Hopefully this is it. 

So they are making like a wireless bridge router with games? I don't get this. Don't understand the appeal. I have a laptop which is the most popular thing right now and I can buy steam and connect to my TV to play games. Why do I need a steambox to do this if i already can? This is probably the most useless gadget that is going to bomb hard when only 10,000 hardcore PC fanboys buy it LOL

He was trolling...Nothing I said was factually incorrect.

Steambox IS an open platform and system. It can be upgraded and all.

Steambox is completely open like  a PC. You can do what you want to the hardware and software.

 

Only if conosles were that good.

nothing he posts makes sense

Nope.

Even if it's great (which I'm sure it will be), and even if it's successful (which I hope it will be), you'd be daft to think something as ludicrous as the Steambox leading to the death of gaming consoles. That is simply never going to happen (unless the entire industry crashed again of course) which is a very good thing.

People said this about Steam.

Look how that turned out.

This quiet and simple five-word sentence is the smartest thing being said in this entire 7 page thread.

Steambox(s) = PC for casuals

Not impressed, my laptop can do more.

It's just a Steam Console it sounds like. Sure, I'd buy one, but not at the price they're asking. The Steambox was rumored to be priced at $1000 for the "premiere" model. I'll stick with the Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4 till the price goes down. Then I'll pick one up.
