Apparently the Steam consoles/machines will launch this fall in a dozen different configs and will be more powerful than the PS4/X1 "for the same price". 

Welp. 

If they're under $400 ... I'm in. Steam library poops all over the PS4/X1 libraries, especially if you can run emulators of retro platforms too. They showed Unreal Tournament running at 4K resolution too apparently. 

First, that's illegal. Second, if you want that, just get a PC? Wait, they are PCs. :P

Yet, I'd be surprised if they weren't more powerful, I mean 2 years after the PS4/Xbone were released, I expect any new console released to be more powerful.

I wish them luck in their endeavour though.

Emulators are not illegal. What is illegal is downloading the ROMs off websites, but a lot of people (not the majority, but still plenty of enthusiasts) copy their game data directly from a disc or cartridge that they own to play on emulators in order to play on PC. For older games, they can do fun stuff like hacking the game and for games from the gamecube era and newer, they can play those in HD.
