Valve would have secured a pipeline prior to announcing the news at least for the first however many thousand/million/whatever units

The key difference is that the Steam Machine can be controlled 100% for the controller with a OS built to be controlled by the controller, and seen on a TV.

Windows doesn't do that. It fuckin sucks to see on a TV because the UI is so small, and the controller only works in-game.

I am most excited for the OS progress. I will be putting whatever on my living room pc as soon as it's released. I can't stand using a mouse and keyboard in the living room and having to scoot close to the TV

What is the latency on that?

I just used a $30 HDMI balun and a single patch cable to connect the Ethernet running from Living Room to PC. Just removed the router from the connection between the two and it works fantastic. No latency issues and Cat6 is more than capable.

PCs do not just work. They require updates a lot more than your average game console especially if you're cursed to use Windows.

You can literally just move the computer? I have a computer in my living room. In fact that is where it stays all day everyday.

But if you don't want to physically move it. You can run a single fiber optic cable, or if you have Ethernet - connect a balun at the PC and at the TV...

industries shift focus back to consumer-level goods.

And how is this going to happen when nobody has any money?

The Steam Machine is just about the only "Console" that can not be a loss leader because it's just a PC.

If it's too good of a deal - people will just buy them for offices.
