The only thing I find weird about is half the people yelling about how they hate it claim they love Steam.
When basically MS is just turning their console into a more highly featured Steam box |
No one wants a Steam box that cost $400+ dollars. I'm sure if Valve makes a physical Steam box - people will say the same thing.
If I have a PC that can Stream shows/sports, Have Steam/Origin/Uplay/whatever DRM, be able to do general stuff such as using the basic Microsoft programs such as Word/PowerPoint/etc for projects relating to school/work, have a decent browser like FireFox/Google Chrome, be able to get access to a wide variety of other programs for other uses (i.e. work related programs such as coding programs for programming, etc), movies, music, etc - why would I buy something that is far limited for $400+ and on the top of that have to pay a subscription fee on top of my internet fee?
If Sony does the same thing - I'll look at it the same.
Also the difference between Steam and the Xbox One is in the next couple of years providing Valve stays afloat and sure it will - Steam will be b/c with Windows/Mac/Linux while Xbox One games will probably not be b/c with Xbox Two system.

Honestly day one of taking orders on the Xbox One wait list was massive.
Apparently a LOT of people want a Steam box with Xbox exclusives and media features. I think people are going to be shocked how huge this is going to be in America. Bigger than the 360 probably.

Not saying orders will be small or anything especially in North America where Microsoft has the advantage.
Of course people want a Steam Box with xbox exclusives - I'm sure they want Nintendo exclusives and Sony exclusives too.
Not so sure about media features since you can easily get them on PC.

Enthusiast PC gamers are tiny part of the gaming marketshare. Maybe 7-8% being generous.
