What do the Steam Machines mean for this generation?

Well yeah actually I have a lot of third party games and most people do but the exclusive games sometimes are more important. Nintendo games tend to be the reason why you buy a Nintendo console. And that is not going to change anytime soon! I think it could sell but I don't see it penetrating the market as you said. Nintendo's IP are a force to be reckoned with!

Valve isn't competing with Nintendo either way, considering there are no multiplats on Wii U :P I'm sure Valve is ok with you buying a console just for the exclusives, as long as you buy the multiplats on Steam. The thing I told you about would be enough reasons to convince more and more people into doing just that.

Well they do want to enter the console market with these "Pre-Built PC's" so they would be competing. I still don't see it being big if the price is too high. If it weas cheaper than the competition it would have a point but at least I don't see the reason to buy a Steam Machine. You could keep using a PC. Or play on the PS 4 and Xbox One. I think we overestimate the importance of the graphics. It doesn't matter that Call of Duty and Battlefield look worse on consoles, they still sell a lot!

But who knows, maybe Valve do makes the next big thing and disrput the market! We have to wait and see.
