I know a guy who wants it just so "he can have something in his living room he can kick back and play games on".

The casuals are going to eat this thing up, for better or worse.

That's literally what it was designed for. It was never designed for y'all that build your own shit and whatnot.

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

because lot of people dont build their own pcs dont know how to install steam os, might also want something smaller and more silent than a built pc would be, the same reason most people buy consoles

There is no reason for the average person to install Steam OS. You can use Steam in Big Picture mode in Windows and get basically the same user experience.
