Forums - Gaming Discussion - Steam Machines Launch This Fall: More Powerful Than PS4/X1; Same Price.

It seems way, way unlikely. Even more because the machines will be sold at a decent profit margin since they are basically using the same business model as the 3DO and we know how that ended up. And they went with the Vita TV business model for the Link, that will surely end up well.

Someone doesn't know anything about PC gaming.

 



If it is the same price point, why not announce it?



Who cares about Steam machines? Where is news about the Steamboy handheld? Now that is a device with huge potential.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

will the steam machine library be all that great? i though steam machines run on liniux and like almost all of steam's library doesn't.

i imagine valve makes it easy for new games to get ported over but i'll bet most of the back-library doesn't.

You're right in that those Steam Machines will run on Linux, but there are already 1830 linux games on Steam

Between this, DX12, and Vulkan, Steam Machines are looking better and better. Consoles biggest strength is their close to the metal api and if DX12 and SteamOS pull it off it will be a major coup for accessibility on PC.

Same power on paper but due to inferior API not as strong.


Vulkan will erupt and destroy consoles.



And somehow PS4 / Xbox One outsells steam machine by 100:1 ratio with $299 price tag.
