How is the Ones and Steam's internet service different?

The difference is, with Steam you can at least buy games at a bargain (often $5-$10 for full retail games). Even though the system still sucks, at least you get screwed out of a lot less money. With Xbone, it's like the shitty aspects of Steam, combined with the overpriced $60 full-retail games.. Sounds like a great deal to me!

And again a reasonable discussion gets out of control due to exaggerations. You won't find a $60 console game for $5-$10 on Steam.
PC games were always cheaper than console games to begin with.

Recent examples

BioShock Infinite --> Steam: 49.99€ , Amazon.com: $39.95
Borderlands 2 --> Steam: 39.99€ , Amazon.com $24.99
Resident Evil Revelations: Steam: $39.99€ , Amazon.com $46.87

This is the Steam store in Germany though. Can't access the American one at work.

Sure Steam has some great deals every now and then and I already took advantage of that, but you exaggerate.

Sure, Steam still releases many games at $60, but they often drop quick, and they have the winter and summer sales in which many recent games are on sale for the price range I mentioned. That's the only time I will use steam to buy games, and I suspect I'm not alone. I highly doubt there will be many Xbone games hit that price. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Steam, but at least they have some great deals at times, something I don't see happening often with Xbone.
