Valve claims the Steam Machine offers equal or better performance to 70% of PCs currently out there:

Confirmed: 70%+ of the master race play on weaker systems than a 5 year old console.

Or does this percentage account for office PC's and non-gamers? lol.

To be expected honestly, I mean you don't reach 150m+ steam users through tech enthusiasts who spend $1000 every 6 years on new hardware

Most gamers on any platform are casual users who play a few experiences a year, they're probably not on forums and are likely more interested in generational leaps versus incremental quality settings that most hardware upgrades achieve.
