I'm assuming that they will have a mid-range hardware version priced to compete. And there will also be an upgraded version (which can also be easily done by the user) for those who want something top-of-the-line. Valve has already clear how important user-upgradeable hardware is.
Beyond raw specs, this box needs to be able to do things that the traditional consoles cannot. Something along the lines of projecting the same game to multiple TVs at once is a great idea. Two siblings in one home can play competitively on their own TV sets without the other one seeing what's on their screen. And if they play co-op, they can each have their own screen without having to run multiple wires to multiple TVs. This is both possible and an exciting thought.
And as far as controls go, I am wondering if it will be more of a traditional remote or something much more elaborate. I know that they've done lots of testing with VR, so I'm curious whether or not that plays into this new hardware.
Lots of unanswered questions, but I'm very enthusiastic to hear from a company that is know to think outside of the box (no pun intended). Looking forward to next week's announcements.
