Steam Machine seems so dead on arrival, it's crazy. For the same price you can get a switch 2 bundle and 10 full price games, including 9 full price (overpriced) PHYSICAL COPIES that you can resell and that don't take up storage space.

So dead on arrival, yet sold out in Japan www.clubic.com/actualite-61...

well, I don't know what it tells us, are the stock low, or is it a good value proposition. The concept is good, but the price is steep.

The price is hight sure, but totally coherent (if not even lower) with the price a of an equivalent hand made PC. So yeah… PC are expensive this days ><‘ and we should expect consoles to follow the same price line in a not so distant future

Given that cpu and gpu are not replaceable, I would not compare that to hand made pc. Plus hand made pc can be made for cheaper especially when considering second hand market. I think it would have been an interesting offer at the price they initially considered.

I do think that most PC users buy prebuilt configuration and it's a niche that buy and build their own config. I might be wrong tho. Imagine having a console open enough to install any software you want, without monthly subscription to play online, that's yje steam machine.

This is less like a pre-built PC and more like a laptop (limited upgradability, but fully compatible with standard PCs).
