A Samsung Steam Machine, more precisely, a Super AMOLED 4k TV with PC hardware rivalling or greater than that of the Ps4 (Basic entry model) all in one and come together with Steam for the UI and instant sales platform and bundle it with a steam controller instead of those gimmicky smart TV remotes.

Imagine a 32" 4k high end model cabpable of supporting Oculous VR and a 1080p version with enough power to leave current consoles looking like they are last gen. 

And yes, I understand a Super AMOLED 4K TV would be pricey if even possible yet but samsung own, make and distribute the tech (even to Apple for the Ipone 7), so they are in a unique position.

Thoughts?

Reasons why I'd be way off te mark?

A possible avenue where something like this would be possible?

How does Donald Trump factor into this scenario?

Apple console on the horizon? Google gonna pop andriod in a dedicated gaming box for your TV? Devs making premium, near console priced games for this Adroid box?....Or Apple box? Steamroid? Vapple? Goovalve?

What is this thing that my senses detect that we call reality? Why is it so ordered? Why is there anything as oppossed to nothing? Does nothing exist? Is nothing, something? there by canceling out its nothingness which...leads us right back to something...

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

You should probably talk to LG or Panasonic about this. Samsung hates all OLED technology above 10".



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Why would valve do that? they already have a machine of their own.
It would be them admitting defeat if they had to go to Samsung and ask them for input in how to design a console.

Also philosophies would probably differ.
Valve would want to make a new steam machine, much like the old one, basically just sell people a pc.
Samsung would probably want a real console, instead.

 

 

*Edit:

I think the most likely of those options you can vote for, is Google makeing a android console, for your TV.

Would have a app store, app system, run all android games, and have unique games developed for it, it would have gens like current hardware consoles do, so game developers know what to aim for ect.

I could see google actually trying and probably makeing it work.

Samsung doesn't need Valve. They could do it on their own.
They just need to build some software studios first.



I LOVE ICELAND!

LMAO!

No one makes 32" tvs anymore and no one will ever make a 4k 32" tv.  Even if they did, the tv would be gigantic due to the integrated pc hardware. Samsung and regular pc manufacturers are no Apple. And suppose for some reason all these things happened, who will buy it? Steam machines are a huge failure, the controller is a bomba. A much more expensive tv/pc combo isn't gonna change its fate.  Also what the hell does this mean "1080p version with enough power to leave current consoles looking like they are last gen"?  Till now I haven't seen a pc exclusive that target the high end gpus and already look like next gen.
