is over for consoles
>>726069504it's
Oooooh, the Steam Machine. Yeah, I'm sure Nintendo and Sony are quivering in their boots.
>>726069504Depends on pricing. They just have to make it slightly more affordable and they'll destroy the market for consoles forever
>>72606950470% of real PCs, or 70% of the beige XP boxes from Russia and Brazil that keep skewing hardware stats?
>>726069504Cant play Switch 2 games though
ValvESL's predict big things for the Steam Machine
>>726069680shut the FUCK UP trip f*g!
>>726070007Just saying. As long as Valve refuses to put their shit in brick and mortar stores, this will never sell any more than the Deck did. Which was what, 5 million?
>>726069719it's equal to or better than according to the thread from yesterday
but will it play future games?
>>726070079>get 5 million guinea pigs to retard stress test proton>this is a failure SHUT THE FUCK UP BOCO
>>726070118Equal to or better than what?
>>726070241You act like they're ever do anything more after that. They'll never touch it again, just like the Deck, the Steam Box, the controller...
>>726070315>gets a box with higher specs and a discrete GPU out there for more retards to test proton onSorry but I'm over here laughing in DXVK
>>726070267https://wccftech.com/steam-machine-offers-equal-or-better-performance-70-gaming-pcs/
>>726070404You put too much faith in Valve's known laziness and ADD-driven work ethic.
>>726069680Nintendo shidded and farded when someone made a mildly better pokemon game.
it's clawing away at the last bastion of consolecuckery, that being retardationthis is literally the main excuse you people use for sticking with consoles and the market this will spawn will nuke that excuse
>>726069680The console wars is a marketing ploy to make kids (and /v/tards, including OP and you) do to advertising for free.It is older than you and will be alive when you die.The truth is that the failure of a product is always tied to it's own merits and marketing.
>>726069504I didnt fall for smoke machine 1 and i wont fall for smoke machine 2
>>726070583So when this gets no marketing outside Steam itself, which is already niche, it will fail like the Deck did. Gotcha.Oh wait, I guess to Valve thats a "success".
>>726069504finally.. all games.
>>726069680kill yourself tripfag
>>726069680>tripfag>abhorrent postname a more iconic duo, no wait I've got you covered>tripfag>rope
>>726070429Oh, so the worse option. Equal to or better than the PCs in their hardware surveys, which are skewed by third worlders.
>>726070743Yep.And on the other hand, if it sells monstrously well, like 300 million units, it won't put a dent on nintendo or sony sales.Iphone sells billions over billions and many people only play on iphones, yet the sales of the consoles don't drop, they go up.
>>726069504>"Steam Machine">Looks inside>ElectricityLies, LIES!
>>726069680Those 3 are not competing for the same public.
>>726070920>if it sells monstrously well, like 300 million unitsAnd maybe birds will fly out my ass.
>>726070496Don't care Proton often works better than playing games natively in Windows.
>>726070994Good, because Valve doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever catching up.
>>726070920If the thing sells 300 million units it'll be the most successful 'console' of all time, and be larger than the entire console market combined. But also birds will fly out of >>726071001 's ass before that happens.
>>726069504As long as the purchasing of Valve's hardware is restricted to Steam and lacks sales at your Walmarts/Targets/Costcos or online retailers like Amazon, then it will always remain an enthusiast device.
>>726071128The iphone sell around 200 million units per year, PCs are around that too, half of the next generation only knows how to use touch screens.Yet, where is drop? where is the "thunderdome" where only one gets out alive?Where are the casualties of war?
>>726070913yeah
>>726071021Is this true of non-Deck devices? I was hoping someone like GN would do an A/B benchmark comparison of a desktop or handheld PC running both Windows and Linux/Proton/SteamOS/etc. The only videos I've seen only give average framerate, which is useless as a stat on its own.
>>726071285>PCs are around that tooThis is misleading to the point of meaninglessness. A PC bought for a work-from-home office, a PC bought as an enthusiast gaming device, and a PC bought as a store register are not the same market.
why do you crop out the twitter useri want to see the actually funny replies
>>726071656And the gabe cube and a nintendo video game playing machine are?
>>726070583>it'sFuck off my board, ESL.
>>726069504All games you say.....
>>726069504>beats 70% of all PCsNot saying much. Most PCs are laptops or office-tier with integrated graphics
>>726069680Tendies are still seething about the 'eck to this day
>>726071285There aren't any and I'm not arguing in favor of such a thing happening.
>>726071368I'm running R7 7700x and 7900xt on Linux (Cachy and Bazzite) and I often have better stability than in Windows with some games. The Oblivion remaster being one of them. But in other scenarios, shitsux hard (KOTOR 1).But in terms of shitsux scenarios, that's rare for me.
>>726069504It's honestly valves time. If it's like $399 next generation is smoked no one cares about shiny graphics anymore a used PS4 is still $200
>>726069504>boot up battlefield>meme-boot won't let me play itbravo Gay Ben
>>726069504I mean if they have the data to back up that claim, then the specs of their new hardware mostly make good sense. They know they are not as big as The Big Three, their strategy can't be based on competing with them head to head. They have to play to their strengths.
>>726069589A PIECE OF SHIT
>>726070539>>726072325In your head? Sure.
>>726069504>plays all gamesfinally i can play over drivehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1-dPzQ7Zok
>>726070007>he can see trips
What prevents them from producing a second model with more power? Surely that doesn't represent all that much design overhead relative to interesting more of the market. Only thing I can think of is their cooling solution couldn't take it.
>>726076401Laziness, a Valve staple
>>726070920>Iphone sells billions over billions and many people only play on iphones, yet the sales of the consoles don't dropIt did, compare PS5 sales to PS4 and the proce increase won't make that number better.Most kids aren't interested in home consoles and that's their future market, if they don't get new cuatomers their sales will continue to drop.
