UPDATE: To clarify the paragraph about the number of games accessible on your Steam Machine, Valve clarified that Steam Machines will have the ability to send and receive in-home streaming signals. With a Steam enabled PC in the house, it can "technically" play every game on Steam, which is now over 5,000 games.

If I want to stream games from a powerful PC to the TV-screen in another room, I don't need an expensive Steam machine. A "Steam link" for €55 should do fine: http://store.steampowered.com/universe/link/

And the Xbox One will offer game streaming to other Windows10-devices in the same WLAN... I'm pretty sure that game streaming in the other direction (from PC to Xbox One) will be next on Microsofts list.

As long as most AAA games ditch on Linux-support, Steam machines stay very unattractive.
