I mean I know the correct word is "gaming platform".. Not only becourse many companys will make "steam machines" but also we can get them in many configurations reaching from slightly under ps4 level.. to power like the best gaming pc's.

But it looks like a console.. it's dedicated for games and it has a controller.. the only thing that really differs is the online only (but we did call psp go a console)

Is it a new type of console..? Is it then gen 9..? or do "gen" even exist anymore..?..

Also it comes in under 4 month.. Valve says with more than 1000 games in 1080p from day one.. and also perfect for media and internet.. It do cost more (at launch.. from 449-4000$) but should MS and Sony be worried that they just got totally "low end" and now only has the exclusive games to lure people in..?
