Console gamers don't care about them.
PC gamers don't care about them.
Who's their market, really?
| The Fury said: Price. This is all that matters. |
| Fusioncode said: Those things are going to be a hilarious flop. |
| Tachikoma said: it wont happen, because low end steam boxes still cost a lot and are just glorified streamboxes that need existing high end pcs, and high end steam boxes cost a pound of flesh. wont impact the console space at all. |
Basically these posts put together is what I had to say on this.

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.
When the author started stating his opinions as facts, he lost any credibility and I stopped reading the rest of the article. I know there isn't a hidden agenda going on on gaming articles but I can't help but feel like there's so many people out there that try to create and perpetuate these negative statements that are blatant lies... which honestly shouldn't matter to me, but these opinions also happen to be read by thousands, perhaps more people.
They probably won't fail as much as the Ouya sales-wise, but they won't come close to MS, Sony and Nintendo.
I think Valve should work on a stream service for smart TVs or smart device box when they get popular and have good enough specs instead of releasing a typical game console this fall.
But I guess they can't wait that long.

What do you guys think? does Sony MS or Nintendo have anything to worry about??. |
Even Wii U will kick its ass pretty easy. We are looking at colossol flop here.
