Exclusives aren't consumer-friendly but they shift boxes. Everyone knows if you want to play a Mario game you need a Nintendo.
The exclusives ship has sailed for the Xbox now so the best they can do is try to compete with the new Steam Machine with what will essentially be a PC and allow all storefronts.
It seems Valve has gone for an entry-level machine while Xbox is going for a premium one so it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.

They haven't announced a price yet but it'll hopefully be similar to current consoles on the lower storage model. Anything higher will put it in range with existing prebuilt gaming PCs.
