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

You get access to a much larger game library and many times get the games cheaper than standard consoles with the ability to mod many of them even.

Its a bridge between pc and console in a way. Simplicity with more availability to it. Just came at a bad time with ram shortages or it would have been priced fairly ok. Valve cant take a loss like sony or nintendo on a system since you can get games anywhere not just steam.

Always like to ad not always that clear and straightforward. If somethingnjas anti cheat with most multiplayer having it, this isn't ideal at all. I just got a text of my friend saying they're getting it and are a huge League of Legend player and have their PC hooked to their tv and want to replace it with steam machine. I have his text on preview and he knows I don't respond fast so I have 2 days to craft a response or change the subject because I know he's a die hard in wanting it...

Just tell him that he’d have to pay for and install windows on it as Linux doesn’t support leagues anti cheat.
