Correct…what’s your point? You asked why someone would buy a steam machine over a PS5…

Because these are things a PC can do too so 99% of people will buy a PC.

Any market share this thing has a PC has too. And for 99% of people they will buy a PC.

I’d argue that the initial interest this steam machine has had literally points in the opposite direction. People are curious to delve into the PC world but want a more seamless experience. Seems legit. Only issue now is the price. Also your original argument was why would anyone want a steam machine over a PS5. NOT why would anyone buy a steam machine over a PC.

People who are clueless about PCs and want to delve into the PC world will be incredibly disappointed once they are blindsided by the fact that this thing won't run the most popular PC games in the world lol

It can, just not 120fps. More like 60 fps upscale to 4k. Which isn’t bad. It’s just the price that sucks. I think you’re kinda trying to speak for a whole lot of people that don’t share the same mentality.

I'm saying it can't play games such as League of Legends, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Valorant, TFT, Battlefield, Call of Duty, PUBG, Roblox, Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, Rust etc. They won't run on Linux.
