Is the Steam Machine a good option for Nintendo console gamers?

Only owning a WiiU is ridiculous period.Wether you want to hear it or not and that is a fact.No, steam machines are trash.Just use Steam on your PC since you refuse to do the logical thing and buy another console.

Who the hell are you to tell me what's rediculus or not? I know what I'm looking for and PS4, XBO, and regular PCs aren't it. I like Nintendo games, so I bought a Nintendo console. I don't really care about anything else, so if I don't need to spend extra money on products I don't like just to play a couple of games I'm vaguely interested in, I won't.

Don't get me wrong, I literally don't care about missing every 3rd party game. I don't care about "gaming" enough for that to matter to me. Do a lot of those games interest me? Absolutely. Will I lose any sleep over never playing any of them? No.

The only reason I'm even considering a Steambox is because, on paper, it sounds like exactly what I'm personally looking. As someone who literally just plays games casually. If it's not what I want, I just won't buy it. I don't care.

There's literally no difference between Steam Machines and Windows gaming PCs.

Well, other than Windows PCs are much cheaper, can do so much more, more customizable, and have better compatibility with pretty much everything.

Also, if you ever want to play an EA game, you can't on a Steam Machine (EA only makes games on Origin, which is mostly Windows-only).

Just go to cyberpowerpc.com or some other PC maker website, pick out your parts, and they'll assemble it and ship it to you. I'll even help you pick if you can tell me your price point. It'll be slightly more expensive than just building your own PC (which is what I would reccomend, it's fun, and not nearly as daunting as it looks!), but still more affordable than Steam Machines. 

The user interface is natively different. One is a console like UI and the other is a computer like UI. The form factor is (usually) different. On is small and shaped like a console for easy tv placement. The other is big and not made to be urganomic with your tv. I understand that a lot of people enjoy customizability, but I prefer systems that are simple and don't need to be changed much to get the job done. It's like the whole Mac vs PC thing. I don't think Mac is better, but I prefer macs and they are better for me. I literally use my Mac to write papers, music, and browse the net. That's all, so I don't need a PC that can do everything else better. I prefer what the Mac has, and I don't mind the limited customization I lose because I've never once felt the need or want to. Same with iPhone vs android. Same with steam box vs PC.

If the comparability becomes an issue, I'll pass on buying it though. Like I said, I'll likely wait a year and see.
