Yeah... I think he will wish the sold that many when the steam box comes out in that amount of time. I really dont think its going to go that well. Most already have a computer with those games, and a steambox is mainly linux which doesnt run all those games in steam.

Yeah I know they are working on it, we will see in time I guess.

14 companies will offer Steam Machines in 2014; many will dual boot Windows: http://www.neowin.net/news/14-companies-will-offer-steam-machines-in-2014-many-will-dual-boot-windows


Thats right, I forgot about that. Oh well, a $10 HDMI cable connects my computer to my TV, just need a steam controller which I am highly skeptical of since I hate touch screen controls enough already.


Get a 360 or PS3 pad, confirmed value.

ROFL. I hope Steam box bankrupts them. Their titles are overated and they are an extremely slow developer.

65 mill Steam accounts?

How about 80 mill 360's you absolute douche. And the fact that PC Steam runs pretty well on Windows.

Gabe Newell Trying to punch way above his weight. ROFL.

  1. He sounds like a child.

Its not butthurt. Hes trying to downplay the 2nd fastest selling console in the history of Consoles. And trying to use 65 mill steam accounts. Xbox Live had 55 mill active Gold accounts Sumer last year and we are at 80 mil 360's and 3 mill Xbox Ones.

He sounds like a guy who knows Steambox will flump hard.

you are the one sounding like a child

Wow, dude. This is a bad post.

How about the fact that One can't play 360 games and thus adding 360 numbers is irrelevant?

This isn't?

Lol, epic reply. And a true one.



They asked Larry Page on the same day about iPad sales:
- "Hey, Larry Page, what's your opinion about the current iPad sales figures?"
- "Well, it’d take a while for them to catch up. I mean, we’re at 425 million Gmail accounts."

And you complain about MS spinning numbers. What a load of baloney. 

He has 65million pc owners who access his free service, I dont think MS give a toss frankly.  Lets see how bullish he is 12 months from now.  

 

 

his concern isnt about making a valid comparison, he was asked to comment and he commented on the status que, which is true. in the upcoming years Microsofts Gaming division*  revenue and profits will depend on the xbox one, which sits on 3 million. steam sits at 65 million signed up users and expanding. he does not care about the comparison being "valid" in your eyes, he is simply stating facts. 

Edit: i meant Microsofts Gaming Division, not the entire company. *

Not exactly. Microsoft owns tons of Gold Mines from where they can extract revenue and profits. Xbox Division is just one of them.

More like not at all.

Microsoft doesnt "depend" on the xbox profits at all.  They are just another source of profits.

 


Bad wording on my case.

 

With the OS alone, they make billions in profits.

He makes one silly comment about the X1 and Steam and you wish bankruptcy on him? Talk about overreaction :D

He was asked about his opinion on a hardware selling 3 million and he responded with we have 65 million users wtf. That's like asking Microsoft what do think of iphone selling 20 million and them replying with "we have 1 billion windows users (or whatever)". 



Can we take some people less serious they even think crazzyman was awesome
