The thing is, the Steambox isn't going to have Infamous Second Son, Final Fantasy 15, many JRPGs, etc, while most of the bigger PC titles will be on consoles. If that's the case, what's really the point in getting a Steambox when it's going to be more expensive than even the Xbox One and it's just a poor mans PC?


Consoles don't get: StarCitizen, Arma, Heroes of Might and Magic, The Settlers, Civilisation, X3, Sins of a Solar Empire, Red orchestra, Company of Heroes... etc' etc'.
All platforms have exclusive games, whether the platform is attractive should come down to personal taste in games, Personally I have no interrest in Japanese RPG's or most of the console exclusives besides Halo essentially, they're usually dumbed down and full of quick time events with poor image quality anyway, but that's my personal opinion.

Would I get a Steam Box? No way. I love my Display set-up too much to go back to 1080P.

 

Consoles actually received the last Civilization.  The latest Heroes of Might and Magic was released two years ago, five years after the previous game. X3 is an indie game that can run on a PC weaker than the PS3 and 360, so what's the point in paying a lot of money on a box when you more than likely have a PC that can play that one?

I didn't exactly mean the PC receives no games, because there are a ton of games on it, but most games the PC receives now days are indie games.  There's the very rare larger budget game like Might and Magic 10, which just released last month, while just about every large budget game makes it over to consoles.  What's the point in spending a ton of money for a Steam box when a PC older than the PS3 can play just about any indie game that releases and the majority of larger budget titles that come on PC are also on consoles.

Additionally, while this is personal preference only.  I prefer retail copies of games as I feel that I actually own the game.  I don't buy Steam games until they're less than a few dollars cheap.
