currently there are just 1600 games supported on Steam OS while there are close to 10,000 on Windows, for a Steam machine to even come close to taking some of the console market the machines need to be priced around the same price as the PS4 but as that consoles retail price is set to drop this year it'll be even harder to get people to buy it, the Steam OS sounds just like the pipe dream Trip Hawkins had with the 3DO which also had various manufacturers and could possibly suffer the same fate, Steam OS might not flop but the Steam machine is a risk im not willing to take!
