Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point · 191 points · 73 comments

You missed the point where I said for the LAYMAN. Average user. Idiot consumer looking for a console for their kid or whatever. That's how things take off. Yeah it might be great for people who know things but if it doesn't grab the suburban mom market even a little then it's probably not going anywhere too far.

If it's not cheaper than a PS5 I don't think it's gonna catch on unfortunately. Xbox is obviously defunct by now but the ps has much much more wide ranging awareness than Steam. And to compete with that they'll need more than "it's twice as expensive but a little prettier" to the layman.

If it's cheaper than the top 30% I'll think about it. I haven't had a gaming capable PC in a long while and I HAVE wanted one, but I'm not paying $1000 for it
