It's a bit of strecth to say that steambox will eat the PS4 for lunch over time, considering that even the fastest PC cannot exceed the 1080p and 60 fps on a TV right now, and most games will not be optimized for it, BUT I maintain that it will be possible to have a very compact, Gamecube like Steambox with the performance of PS4 for less than $399 in a few years. From that point on, you'll have the convenience of a Console and the power of the PC in an inexpensive tiny box. This is what the steambox needs to go after. Graphics Quality is highly overrated by the PC enthusiasts here. Yes, it matters, sometimes a lot, but it is not the only thing that matters. People also care about "convenience", "price", "simplicity". So a tiny, quite, inexpensive steambox with the performance of PS4, a large catalogue of forward and backward compatibility would be fantastic. Again the performance does not have to be perfect, 8th gen console level performance should be enough for starters as long as the price and convenience is there! |
Let's be honest here though, do you really think they'd keep at 60FPS in a year or 2 with the top tier games? It's a cycle man, devs will try to hit 30FPS to bring out more impressive visuals, and if they are not doing that, it will be because of the X1 most likely with multiplats, PC games these days will only be as good as a little better than the best console version due to asset restrictions being consoles only(unless modded,) the fact is, these new consoles will be holding back the best possible graphics we can achieve with current tech because they are running on 3+year old hardware in the category of raw performance comparisons. You don't even understand my dissapointment to learn the PS4 was rated at the level it's current at when they revealed it. Alas, it won't matter to me if TLoU2 turns out to be a good game, I'd buy a PS4 just for that.
