It did but why did it fail? You can't simply say because Steam box failed, anything else like will also fail. With that logic cosoles are a failure because Wii U failed. Handhelds are a failure because PSV failed.

For one thing it was more expensive, like the scorpio will be.

But it was also bad precieved value (ei. payed alot, and could get versions weaker than a PS4).

It had no exclusives, you couldnt play on any old pc you had instead.

Basically it was jugded based on how much better it would be than a normal PC, because the software ecosystem was the same as a PC's.

It didnt meet up to what a PC can do.

 

MS's scorpio will atleast not have most of those issues.

Yeah and the Steam box wasn't pushed or hardly marketed so basically is was a console targeted at the PC crowd which was always destined to fail. No PC gamer will buy a Steam box, the price and lack of awareness will eliminate any interst from the casual crowd and the hardcore consle gamers will stick with their platform of choice.
