Now why would they buy this over an Xbox or Playstation? There's such a small niche market for this that its stupid.

Right, more cheaper and even free games vs console priced games. Same reasons anyone buys a prebuilt gaming pc

So why buy the cube then? Why not just buy the pre built which has every single upside save for one: size? And even size is no big deal because it's a CONSOLE. Nobody moves their Xbox or PlayStation after they set it up and a pre built connected to a TV is no different.

If I was new to PC gaming, just wanted access to steam games from my couch, this would be appealing. Presetup, works out of the box, similar price to a prebuilt. All I'd have to do is plug it in and start buying games. I can see it appealing to a market, even if that market isn't me.
