It seems like the big gripe with consoles is that there's a performance ceiling and the supposed benefit of a PC is that there simply is no ceiling. The game can look as rad as you want to pay for.
But consoles have something that PCs don't-- a floor. If a kiddo buys any piece content for their xbox or whatever, the darn thing will run guaranteed and be pretty OK.
The same definitely not true for new a piece of content on a PC.
PC's might not have a performance ceiling but they probably need a baseline floor. MAYBE these Steam Machines can help rectify it for down/middle market.
- adamc 11y agoThat's all true. If that was the only factor I might stick with consoles -- however, PCs have something else: A much more diverse collection of games. I'm interested in Steam machines largely because I would like to play PC games in a more Xbox-like way. The fact that it will result in more games running on Linux is also a plus (for me).
