People that have Steam are already on board with Steam. People that are not are either a) Gamers that know about steam but choose not to use it b) people that dont know about it. People will go to stores and see the Steambox(or in ads), and see that it offers the same games as X1/PS4 but its like your Iphone or droid games.....except the games are much more expensive (slightly less expensive than physical) and you cant resell them towards other games. Oh yeah its missing 60% of the major franchises that you know and love on XB/PS/Wii. Since the system is likely Linux based I would guess the games catalog would be quite thin to start save for indys. I for one hope this fails and hope Steam goes out of business.

Didn't quite understand that part.

If Steam decides to be serious about invading the living room - they will make their presence known.
And regarding the exclusives - with every console you miss a good number of major franchises exclusive to other consoles or PC.

Well people are used to paying $0-$5 on Iphone games they license digitally.......that was poorly worded. I cant think of any PC exclusives save for RTS's and MMO's and people that play them already have PC's.
