Valve's Steam Machine is poised to deliver a crushing blow to the console industry, possibly dethroning the current reigning champion.

Whatever happens, the biggest hurdle isn’t the price or the hardware, or even the operating system itself. The biggest hurdle are the available games that work out of the box, specifically the most popular multiplayer games. I don’t think Sony has to worry anything, because the Steam Machine is still PC hardware and that is usually more expensive than a comparable game console. Usually.

Yeah I mean until you account for 1 year of Playstation subscription needed to play online, not to mention the much higher game prices.

Agreed. But when selling the console, most people don’t have the full picture in front of them.

How dare you. /s

Don’t you know PC gaming is so cheap you can buy it from a hooker in Tijuana for zero pesos?
