I wonder how much of that is from people playing games on their laptops though. Budget or mid-range laptops are much less likely to have a dedicated GPU (or in mid-range at least not a powerful one), or much RAM.
For people who buy laptop PCs and can only afford one computer purchase every X years, it won’t really matter if the Steam Box has better specs. If it’s not a laptop it’s not an option for them.
That’s a good point. I do know quite a few people that are laptop, or even tablet only which is crazy imho, but who have a dedicated gaming console. I feel like this might make sense for a lot of them, though a lot of them buy consoles for some of the exclusives, so we shall see.
