Why Valve's Steam Box is a Console Killer
- bifrost 14y agoSo its basically just a low end PC, I don't get why this is different from the XBox or a low end PC in a neat case...
- mtgx 14y agoCompared to a "low-end" PC, it's the much better marketability of such an "integrated" product under one brand name. From that point of view it's no different than a console. Compared to a console, though, it should be a lot more open for developers and users alike. They'll allow other stores in there, games will probably be a lot cheaper for developers to put on their platform, and they will be a lot cheaper for users, too. If they combine it with Oculus Rift somehow, it will make for some great value proposition.
- dfrey 14y agoI love it how the article complains that consoles are 6 year old hardware and all of the screenshots in the article are from Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. Neither of those are remotely current games.
