But people will only buy it if publishers publish for it. And while I don't know the details of a Steam box, assuming a x64 config, you won't be able to really undercut Dell or HP. So why buy a Steam box if you can get a WIndows PC which allows you to run Office? And about PS4, I have been out of the industry for a while, but if PS4 really is linux based, most games will target THAT specific linux distro with specific drivers. While I doubt Sony would make PS4 just another Linux distro, even if they do, they will add Sony Middleware to it that won't be available on other distros. I would like to see Linux succeed. I periodically switch to Linux and back to Mac everyonce in a while, but I just don't see it. And back to the original topic, when you are a marketplace on another's man ecosystem, you will always be at their mercy. Now if Steam moved to the browser, maybe I could see something there, but Linux, no, sorry, not gonna happen (as much as I would love it to.)
