FUCK
>>739702371here is worse
I saw some fat retard on youtube calling anyone saying it will be more than 1k retarded. Wish I cared enough to find that video
Why isn't my salary rising to accommodate to modern prices?
Doesn't matter it will still btfo of the söystationMaster race always wins baby
>>739702801
>>739702801lol, lmao even
>>739702801Because somebody else's salary is rising instead.
>>739701434I saw retards saying this would be 499 and the end of xbox
>>739701434Getting a Ryzen ai max+ 395 and installing Bazzite on it doesn't seem too shitty anymore.
>>739703382I'd go so far as to say that even a laptop is a better deal than this
>>739703465I think you could get a PS5 + a laptop for the price of a steam machine and have a much better experience. PS5 for latest games and laptop for emulation and older PC games
>>739702801stop being antisemitic.
>>739703465Exactly. Shocking, but even Macbooks, those Android Handhelds and Snapdragon Laptops have much better value.But I still wouldn't get a Laptop with a dGPU. An AMD laptop with the latest iGPU sounds good, get a nice display and enjoy games at 1080p on a smaller screen.
>>739701771That looks like Doug Demuro and Dream had a kid
>>739701639t. poor
>>739703267It's now the end of both, Xbox is going to be a PC, next year, you know that means. You should expect a $1000+ device. If you're not getting a Switch or PlayStation, you're retarded.
>>739702664I saw some fag in one of these /v/ threads that was ADAMANT it would be $300-$400.
But had to own the "woke", right MAGAtards? Try to be more human next time. Vote blue.
why the hell would i've thought that?everything fucking sucks and costs a bajillion dollars

>>739704246MS has long term contract deals with manufacturers and ability to negotiate based on estimated volumes. Helix will be priced on par with Steam machine or even bit cheaper while being over 3 times stronger hardware. Mark my words negro screencap this post. Jeetsoft will suprise.
>>739704292I'm not voting for the party that wants children to troon out, anon.
Just buy a regular PC
jesus christ now the steam deck is arguably one of the worst deals in the handheld market. what is valve's play here?
>>739701434>1200 dollars for a shitbox with a gimped 6600XT GPUwhy would anyone buy this piece of shit, even with inflated RAM prices you build a better system for cheaper
tick tock valve fans tick tock
>>739704792>what is valve's play here?Gabe didn't become a billionaire by subsidizing costs for gamers.
>>739703465A laptop was already a better deal than the deck oled rven vefore the price increase if you hunted black friday/boxing day deals. The only question was ever the cheapest LCD, since even with an ssd upgrade they were only $400~. Now it's not even close. I would be surprised if Valve moves any stock with these prices.
>>739704741im pretty you can go lower and still have better spects than the steam machine

where is the fuckinggg 'eck 2
>>739705192We already had a maxed out thread in like 2 hours. There's not much else to say since we all expected it.
>>739701807PC is a open platform and PC game dollar sales are weak, Valve just isn't going to make the money back on games if they subsidized the cost of the console
>>739704597I said the same thing about Steam Hardware, you shit bag and look where that's got me.>48GB of GDDR7>68 compute units of off-the-shelf AT2 RDNA 5>11 Zen 6 cores>2TD of SSD>Windows 11 Desktop>can access and buy games from other PC storesTell me anywhere in what universe is the Helix going to cost less than $1000? Tell me how their shitty OEMs will cost less than $1000 when it's the third-party hardware company deciding the price. Face facts, PC gaming (Steam and Xbox) is dead. Console won. Stop being a fucking shill.
>>739705516I don't even want one now, I'm getting a Switch 2 and PS6 handheld, hope Sony goes for LCD over OLED.

>>739704925You are pretty, alright.
>>739705983It's over Xcuck. Xbox is no longer a console. Microsoft, Valve, and the West lost. You can stop. If your piece of shit is a Windows machine and not an Xbox-only device, don't expect consumer market prices for it. Gaming has returned to the 90s. Get lost
>>739702801Got what you voted for award
>>739706089Shut the fuck and stop trying to make this about politics, you faggot. I'm going to shit on Valve and Microsoft for shitting up PC gaming prices and killing that market for gaming.
>>739706084>seething about dead shit like xbox all day everyday 24/7Grim mental illness.
>>739706181ah, you're indeed quite fucking retarded, but that makes perfect sense
shit sux but i'll live without
If it's more than 1000 then Valve should just cancel it because who the fuck is going to buy it
>>739706181>nooo it couldn't be because I voted for the guy who said he'd increase the price of everything and give backroom deals to all his tech buddies there must be some other mysterious reason for all these price increaseslol

>>739705824Why?
>>739704292>implying blue would be stopping the AI bubbleThis shit started under biden. It's an entire industry run by fraud and financial tricks instead of products or services produced.
>>739706470>both partiesThe Trump admin is the only one pivoting to AI and data centers and having direct stake in these companies (communism lol). Now you can argue the dems would do it eventually as well, but that is a different argument and not entirely sound either as we know for example the Iran conflict the dems refused to go to war despite Israel pushing them for decades, but it was only Trump that ended up doing their bidding.
>>739702801It isn't, but your bosses' is.
>>739706235This. There are so many low fidelity games coming out on top of sn endless sea of older shit already out on top of plenty of mods and romhacks for the older iconic shit anyway. Kinda sucks that everything is going up but the fact nothing actually good is releasing anyway will help soften the blow
>>739706923no, what's there is a valid comparison considering that to match the steam machine everything has to get cheaper since it's not sold to valve at market rates and the gpu is much weaker
>>739704714>voted for the pedophile cult insteadlol?
>>739706923Not that guy but the steam box being some tiny cube is retarded. Nobody wants or needs to save inches of space to fit it on some bookshelf. They could have gone with the smallest case possible while still allowing you to upgrade the internals. Right now the steam cube has all the worst parts of planned obsolescence.
>>739707139Just show us what the costs for the same specs, but mini-itx, would be. You can do that, can't you?
>>739704451You've never bought a car that wasn't a $500 rust bucket and it shows.
>>739704292Life's a privileged still if people are arguing over the price of a fucking black box.
Its moves like these that remind me, valve is a comically profitable private company and doesnt need to give a single fuck about the average consumer's wants and needs, they do what they want and how they want itmostly a good thing, but like this shit, has its own set of issues, still beats going public and dealing with faggot shareholders though

>>739708416The only reason we have anything is the republicans were dumb enough to campaign on releasing the files and thought they could appease their base by giving some binders to influencers. Democrat lawmakers saw a wedge issue with republican voters and pressured the release. They didn't do shit when biden was president, they didn't listen to their own voters who wanted to files and they climbed up trump's ass on fake russia shit instead of something like epstein. Neither party did anything when anybody was president until it was a wedge issue for republican voters. Democrat lawmakers aren't afraid of their own voters like republicans are. The superdelegate system is just open mockery of democracy and they put in who they want and do what they want. If the dems get voted in trump can be impeached but they won't bring anyone else down. Worth a try to get the rest of the files released? I'm a just press the fucking button voter myself.

>>739709189The past is the past. The dems are now okay with releasing the files even if it incriminates Clinton and the rest of their camp. That us a good thing. The republicans, who campaigned on releasing the files and making a big show of it, are now back pedaling refusing to release the files and Trump even has the gall to go, "who cares about Epstein". That is not a good thing.

>>739708725The French knew exactly what to do but now everyone is so emasculated nothing will ever happen.
>>739702801Because you don't own anything. Because you are a serf which means you have no leverage. People who have no leverage can be wringed dry of their posessions.
>>739709394You can roll the dice on it but I'm just saying don't be surprised if they just don't release them. This is the party that can steal the election from bernie and nothing happens, they give you kamala harris instead of an emergency primary when she polled 3% and got torpedoed by tulsi gabbard on stage last time she participated in a democratic process. There needs to be a democrat revolution as much as a republican one.

>>739702801That's not how wages work you fucking retard You imbecile
What was the price increase of the steam deck? 200 dollars? That is INSANE, even nintendo that is moving 100x more units than valve could only carefully raise prices by $50. The only reason I can see them doing it is that they have such low stock that they're happy with not moving the remainder, and instead are conditioning you to accept the $1k price tag on their shitty console box.

>>739710173its neo-feudalism/techno-feudalism
>>739710246The point is that that median household income stat is bullshit because we don't know how many people they are counting as a household. If there's 4 working age adults living in a household making $80k, that's bad. It's also how they skew the stats when breaking down by race with Indians. They live 15 to a house like rats so their median income by household is higher.
Look, it's only slightly more expensive than the steam deck!

>>739710464Yeah Anon, you keep crying about 0.5% of the population while you pay for $1500 steam cubes and $100 games. You won.
>>739710394If 4 working age adults are working together to live in a house, that's not a bad set up. It's better than 4 working age adults living in small apartments. At least one of the 4 adults owns the home and is getting paid rent or they're family and working together to support each other. 15 people to a house ain't a bad idea, Mr. 1950s white picket fence with a stay at home wife. The extended family is a great resource that individuals can and should lean on to help themselves prosper.
>>739710492no one knows how much it will costthe increased cost of the steamdecks suggest it will be more than that
>>739710391same thing, just check the surnames of some of the families.
>>739704292Everyone look at this idiot thinking voting actually matters!Just so you know there are interviews of Kamala saying she will start war with Iran and Biden didn't shut down the stupid tariffs

>>739710148Steam Machine will be a Linux PC. PCs even before this costed upwards of $1400 for a decent one. When you think about the Steam Machine as a PC instead of a console (which it really isn't, it just comes in a console form factor so normies aren't scared to try it), it'll make more sense. And since I doubt it'll have an NPU for AI, I bank on it being around $1,299 which would be good even for a few years ago. Sorry your "see, Valve is evil" narrative didn't work.

>>739711415You can't customize the Steam Machine like you can a regular PC.
>>739711415The steam machine is not a decent PC its a shit one. I relegated my 9 year old junk gaming PC to a piracy linux machine and it was choking to death trying to play stellar blade on 8gb of VRAM, the steam machine has the same bottleneck and its gpu is in the same power bracket.
I'm so glad the trade war restored the american manufacturing base bros. Everybody is walking around with rolled up sleeves and grease on their face, my cashier even told me not to work too hard haha!
>>739701434valve has infinite steam money just from cs2 alone why would they not just less at a massive loss to get more people onto steam bro
>>739704741Yeah basically.I took my old pc and just moved it to the living room after upgrading my main rig.
>>739713230Jesus Christ
>>739702801trickle up economy
>>739713104Steam shouldn't be there. Also I haven't seen a ton from Palworld in a long time and Hollownight died soon after it came out. So really the only one that needs to leave are the Snoys
>>739701434HALF LIFE 3... $333.
>>739713230time to drop $2K bros
>>739713230with or without $100 controller?actually never mind, still shit
>>739710676I dont pay for that because I'm not a retarded goycattle. You go ahead though.
>>739706689Rape and murder all communists.
>>739708313>monopolyBased retard.
>>739706689
>>739705217And the less elastic costs, like mortgage/rent, utilities, and groceries are a bigger percentage of income for lower income brackets after those taxes. Meaning every dollar lost to taxes (even if it is only temporarily due to refunds) hurts the lower, supposedly less tax burdened, earner more than the higher income earner.
The sooner you realize goyim are retards that deserve to be exploited and squeezed of all they're worth, the sooner you achieve happiness.
>>739701434How is it my problem you cant afford things for your hobby?
>>739708342no they aren't, retard

>>739701434Nvidia and other AI companies are currently trying to kill gaming PCs and their solution is to install Data centers outside every home that you subscribe to like an electricity bill. If you idiots allow this to happen you deserve the eternal slave status you will attain.
>>739702801because they know you are desperate and even if you have a shit job with a shit pay you will stay in it because by the end of the day food needs to be on the table and the lights must be on

>>739707410and I don't mind if the Trump admin releases any incriminating evidence on Bill and throw him in jail, why hasn't that happened?They couldn't find shit on Bill, who stopped associating with Epstein after the arrest. Getting him to laugh at the painting of Bill in drag was the best the GOP could do.Either1. Clinton did heinous shit and Trump is covering for him.2. Clinton didn't do shit or leave anything suspicious behind.
>>739707872kek not even polniggers believe this shit anymore. They want that fag trump out
So it costs as much as.... if I just bought an existing mini PC? Tahkn you Gabe.

>>739702913>household incomeIt's an expectation that both the man and woman work.
I still dont understand why people care so much about the steam machine. Its underpowered and overpriced. Just buy a PC and stream it
>>739720197Nah the red jew puppet has degraded the standards of living more in 1 year than the blue puppets have been doing in 10 years. Openly starting a forever war on behalf of Israel is just retarded.

>>739720197Yeah the american voting system doesn't allow for fixing itself.
>>739718570this entire post is just reverse-uno of the older post>if trump is in the epstein files why didnt they use it to kill his run in 2024?

>>739701434>the thing i was never going to buy costs more than i can afford!!!why are so many of you upset about this?
Valve is just a premium brand, okay?
>>739702913>Household income>Not individual incomeSo $42,000 when you aren't using Jewish math.

>>739720595everyone will forget about it a week after it launches, just like the controller did lol
>>739720743Hey, if people (retards) used it to argue that Trump isn't a corrupt piece of shit (he is), why can't I use it against them?Small difference though, Biden didn't release it when the whole Epstein thing was being investigated, Trump has to completely release the files by law, and he's purposely not fully complying.
>>739720595It is a new piece of bespoke gaming hardware from one of the biggest gaming platforms in the world. It's interesting.
>>739721261He guessed 42,000, it’s actually 43,000, pretty close
>>739717707wario64 on twitter isn't selling the steamdeck, and neither is valve since you're too blind and retarded to see or realize that, dumbass niggertits
>>739701434You don't need itYou just want to consoooooooom new product
>>739701516why would someone who is not poor buy this instead of a 5090?
>>739702801This.
>>739701434Yes I did
>>739701516im rich, which means im also not retarded with money, i was looking to get a deck but a £250 increase is a kick in the teeth. i can afford it but why should i be raped? why should i let a grown man gabe rape me?
>RAM prices 5x-10x>SSD prices 5x>Chip prices in general 5x>CPU prices up>GPU prices up>Price of logistics up>WTFFFFFFFFF WHY ISN'T THE STEAM MACHINE $300 I DON'T GET ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTgod i'm tired of /v/ lol
>hurf durf I'm pointing out the obvious that makes me so smartAlmost no one here is wondering "why" price increased. We can point out that it's no longer worth it, especially when a proper PC won't cost much more.
>>739702913U.S. is not a real country
>>739721325but why are you just reciting the same thing trump defenders did except for your guy? are you somehow better?
>>739723513To be fair, consoleoids are used to the cheaper prices that come from hardware being sold at a loss, and are too stupid to understand that their shitboxes are only sold that cheap because Sony/Nintendo recoup that cost anyways via jewing the fuck out of their customers with paid online, subscriptions, and other scummy shit.
>>739723941>recitingI'm okay if Clinton goes to jail. Fuck establishment Democrats.Now get a migger to say the same about Trump.>b-b-but you're only okay with it since Clinton is old and not relevantTrump is about the same age nigger
>>739702801because you retards still believe in capitalism>watch them defend it
>>739724050>I'm okay if Clinton goes to jail. Fuck establishment Democrats.>Now get a migger to say the same about Trump.you cant visit /pol/ without seeing that though
>>739724041Not to mention every game costing $70 and never going on sale
>>739724130/pol/ stopped being mostly miggers cause they actually get worldwide news, occasional concrete analysis, and they really hate jews. Your average Fox News watching migger would lick the soles of Trump's shoes after he stepped in dogshit.
>>739724207does the exact same dumb majority not exist for democrats as well? people absolutely still worship obama and bill
>>739701434I will boughted
>>739724207MAGA completely stopped being about politics, they're now worshipping Trump like he's a North Korean supreme leader. He can do no wrong in their eyes any longer.
>>739724207/pol/ is mostly brownoids and miggers and migger brownoids though.
>>739724240No? Obama and Bill aren't obviously criminals and scammers, or at least they hid the evidence really, really well. Trump is openly corrupt and doing Israel's bidding, miggers still love him enough to primary the Republican who wanted the Epstein file released but otherwise voted with his party.
>>739702913>2024 >pre Trump eralol rip
>>739724290/pol/ still has miggers but way less (or at least they're way less loud) than in 2017. I don't like the place but they're still more principled than your average GOP voting goyimcattle.
>>739720435>voot for the other party that is exactly the same except it says kill all whitoids and let trannies rape kids as much as jeffrey epstein did
>>739724362>people did not worship obama or fellate bill clinton>and they definitely didnt do stuff for israelcome on man
>>739710894>No the steam machine will be cheaper than super underpowered steam deck
>>739720796It's an ongoing process that didn't start at year 0 of when you want the orange man narrative to be a total explanation for life and the universe and everything. For example there's never been a real recovery from the 2008 crash, transxister. I live in Canada and this is when food started to skyrocket so that by 2015 or so the Canadian grocery meme appeared and was true.
>>739704206t. Shill
>>739701516fpbp
>>739724623Name a single time either Clinton or Obama started a war that not a single NATO ally agreed to, caused a global energy crisis, all at the behest of Israel, and had democrats support that war.There is nothing to support your both sides bullshit. One party is currently completely zogged, party and voters. The other party was also zogged but staying the same is unsustainable to them as liberals and leftists start universally revile Israel. You have no argument, you just have a nihilistic attitude so you hand wave away all evidence.
>no steamdeck 2>steam machine will have a retarded price>steam controller is $100>controller puck can potentially ignite your house>the Steam app keeps getting buggier and buggierwhat is Valve doing man, they're going to the shitter at record speed
>>739724893They got bored of winning so much.
>>739701807A gaming PC can be a gaming platform, work computer, school computer, hobby computer, and a browser. The Steam Machine can only be a gaming platform. As such it should cost lest than the worth of its equivalent ability to game - other tasks on PC, otherwise it's pointless.
>>739724946>The Steam Machine can only be a gaming platform. so what retardation has led you to believing this?
>>739724850>name specific things trump did that trump didnt do>oh you cant because trump did those specific things? hrrrm humm..1. cash for clunkers irreversibly destroyed the used car market to the point where owning a car is just not something 2 of the youngest generations will ever do2. singlehandedly destroyed libya by disposing of "a dictator" who was not particularly bad (at least by the standards in that part of the world) and basically ruined it as hard as ukraine3. pushed syria into the arms of russia by revealing america was bluffing about chemical weapons, by dumb luck this did not result in a forever war4. allowed iran to research nuclear stuff, i dont have to explain why this was retarded since it is modern news5. troop withdrawal over not wanting to start a war (if i remember correctly this was a kind of over-correction over nearly getting people dying in syria) allowed isis to balloon into what it is today6. did a lot of stupid things with healthcare, the internet and too much policy to actually describe in under 2000 characters7. failed to properly resolve the 2008 financial crisis and just kicked the can down the road, i dont have to explain why this was retarded since it is modern news (made worse by trump trying to fix it with protectionist policy)8. green energy faggotry that was flat out corruption and money laundering, its not hard to research connections between DNC and those companies9. operation fast and furious that did nothing except give a lot of military grade weapons to drug cartels to "trace them" or something???10. probably the single worst president when it came to handling race relations, inflamed a lot of stupid shit with his moronic commentary that has poisoned the matter to this very day11. basically all NSA policyi dont want to hear shit about how obama "wasnt as bad as trump" and "doesnt have a cult" fuck off you political mark, nobody is voting democrat again because they were RETARDED
>>739725010It's the entire shill campaign>It’s like a muh heckin’ gamer PC but plug and play!>Normies will buy it to replace thwir consoles! (Even if the cost surpasses PCs of similiar specs)
kinda funny how pc gayming these days is so tied up in goycattle theater.
>>739725424So is every other type of gaming but retards like you don't understand the components in consoles are also the same ones used in PCs and the price is also going up. You're the equivalent of the "food comes from the grocery store" crowd.
>>739725421the steam machine can do literally everything you mentioned you fucking tech illiterate idiot

I have a feeling you'll be providing no evidence that liberals actually liked all those policies.
>>739701516>he would pay top dollars for a machine that catered towards poorfagsImagine being this retarded. I guess Pcbros ate whatever shit Gaben threw at them.
>>739725640It it as user friendly as a PC of similar specs? And does it outperform console browsers that have been around since the Xbox 360?
>>739704741>5060Just save the money and get a console
>>739725595i mean more so that the communities are infested with blatant corporate shills and bots

>>739725857Quote a single good thing I have said about Obama. Give me the fucking post number you fucking nigger.
>>739702801Stop being anti-semitic
>>739725891if you tell me trump and obama are exactly as bad since they are both political conmen then we will be in agreement
I'm not trying to start shit. But if you have consoles, and a half decent PC or even a laptop, does this thing offer you anything for the price they're selling at?
>>739712607>7k for a piece of shit from 16 years agoI've seen better deals on facebook

>>739726079caught you faggot lelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka9zolhVgrk
>>739725870I already argued against all of them. The point is that miggers will approve of anything Trump does and I provided evidence. Let's see the liberal support data for all (or even a few) of those 11 points.
>>739701434If Frame is more than $700 it is dead.The whole point it a competitor to the Quest 3, and it can't do that effectively if its priced too much more than one.

>>739729353Maybe you Steamies should shove your Steam Decks up your asses after getting your ick on it. Switch 2 already killed the Deck, PS6 handheld will put the Deck 6-feet under.

>>739732637The only things that matter next gen are Switch 2, and PS6 be it home console or handheld.

Xbox quit the console race completely.
>steam machine and next gen consoles are dead or arrivalYou don't hate AIslop enough.
>>739702371>>739707431>Does something>loseGayben???!!!!!
>>739734123The Steam Machine is designed as a low-to-mid-range PC; it’s like expecting more from the Steam Deck, Switch 2, or Xbox Series SIf you’re going to spend almost $1000, you can’t get stuck with 8GB of VRAM. Nvidia is the problem. The 5060 should have 16GB of VRAM, or the 4060 should have 12GB, so you wouldn’t have to buy the TI version for that. NVIDIA is the one responsible for this mess.pic rel, from this video and see the problemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDgXoHQQZekthose 8GB of VRAM are fine for today, at high resolutions, not ultra, graphics settings, but for the future, you’ll have to settle for less-than-high graphics and upsscaled resolutions.And that future will be here in two to three years, when the new generation of consoles arrives, the current ones are already six years old>>739735053The future outlook for Xbox will be tough, but I wouldn't count the PS6 out just yet, because both will be priced at $1000, and I'd bet that the biggest selling point of these consoles, the disc drive, will disappear in the next generation. If not, they'll make it as complicated as they did with the PS5 Pro and the white Xbox Series X
For who is this machine? Poor people will just stick with consoles. Destitute people will just have their scavenged 15yo PC parts. Rich people will just have their custom PCs with high end parts.I just don't see the type of audience this is for. Sure it will get sales at the start from hype alone and impulse buys but in the longer run there is no real target demographic.I personally bought the steam deck because it had a very specific niche (PC games portably) even though I have a high-end PC setup. There's no reason for me to buy this steam machine because it's inferior. And my PC is hooked to all the TVs and screens in my home with superior hardware so I will play on the PC instead of this steam machine.I doubt there is a market of console players that are willing to pay 2x console price for a machine that is about on-par in power, while they could build a better machine themselves for the same price or stick with their console for half of it.
>>739735723The PS6 is less likely to be priced at $1000 or above, they're using a completely custom chip for both their home console and handheld, home console has 8 CPU cores but one is disabled, it has about 36 compute units, is monolithic, isn't the standard RDNA 5, RAM will either be 24GB or 30GB, they have only 1TB of SSD, and they don't have an NPU. They're also using their own custom OS and it's not a PC, just a gaming-only machine. Sony also has just their store of 30% tax and online paywalls, they can take a loss at launch and recoup the profits later. Making Xbox a PC is the Xbox's funeral.
>>739710676>Yeah Anon, you keep crying about 0.5% of the populationyou lost because you keep pandering to them
PC cucks will never be able to custom built their machine anymore, it will all be prebuilts for gaming. Hopefully this will end PC gaming.
>>739736701Even those will cost too much, it's over. People should also stop expecting the Xbox to save them, it's going to be a PC too, so it's a part of this crash.
>>739735904The PS5 Pro currently costs $900, how the fuck do you expect the PS6 to be priced the same or less when they can’t even cover their losses anymore? That’s exactly why they raised the prices of all their current consoles https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/27/new-price-changes-for-ps5-ps5-pro-and-playstation-portal-remote-player/ they can’t absorb the losses anymore, and the PS6 will have more powerful hardware than the PS5 Pro, so you can expect it to cost at least $100 more than its current price, which would be $1000
>literally everything is too expensive now >even consoles Lmfao
>>739737148It's cheaper and more affordable to make. They're doing to the PS6 what they did to the PS4.
>>739736701remember when, during covid, all gpus were ridiculously expensive?this has happened before, and prices will stabilize in another two or three years, it won’t be the end of pc builds, as you saybut what will come to an end are cheap consoles and with disc drives
>>739737218why the fuck would it be cheaper? there is no way that udna is going to be cheaper than rdna5
>>739737218I'm not sure if you've realized it yet but this is the first console generation where the MSRP at launch was cheaper than it is 6 years later. There's no way in hell that the PS6 sells for anything less than what they're already asking for the PS5 pro.
>>739737218>cheaper>affordableI hope you say the same thing here when the PS6 launches in two or three years and the price is revealed. I'll just sit back and watch, I don't like to be gullible
>>739737250It will be either prebuilts or cloud gaming where you pay a service to rent a virtual PC. Custom builts will be limited to a small amount of people that can invest large money in it.
>>739737279Because it's custom and not off-the-shelf, Sony also has a deal.>>739737348True, but that's also why the handheld exists, it'll be significantly cheaper.>>739737391Compared to Steam Machine and next Xbox, it's affordable if you can call it that, lol.
>>739737771>uuuhhh they have a special deal!that is how hardware manufacturing works. everyone has a deal. do you think that companies just walk into a warehouse and start buying shit?
>>739737912They can also subsidize and take a loss.
>>739737984there's nothing stopping them from doing that right now

>>739701434I’m convinced Steam and Gaben are effectively industry plants or double agents.Think about it this way: the gaming industry, much like the music industry, needed a pressure valve for PC gaming. Steam became that outlet. Some players were pulled in by cheap sales and massive discounts, while the rest — people who could easily pirate games — were kept within this contained ecosystem.These gamers have always existed somewhat outside the traditional system, and the industry realized it was better to keep them in a controlled bubble rather than let them “contaminate” the mainstream market — the console audience and the 99% of consumers where the real money is made.That’s why they never truly want PC gaming to expand too far. They’re comfortable keeping it as a niche corner of the market.They do not want PC gaming to become fully mainstream.Imagine if Steam and PC gaming reached true mass-market “normie” levels. The console business model could collapse. Piracy would become dramatically more widespread, and industry profits could take a major hit.So in this view, Gaben’s role is to manage and contain the PC audience, not to push PC gaming into the mainstream. The “master race” branding and premium gatekeeping culture help maintain that separation rather than eliminate it.
>>739738185I didn't, that came from several insiders, PS5 was like the PS3.
>>739732885Easy
>>739738307is this the birth of a new schizo? what the fuck is going on?
>>739738358so you will never play any games made after 2015?
>>739738297I feel like Microsoft, Valve, and all these PC gaming companies are trying to destroy the PC gaming industry in some way. Gen X truly are the generation that destroys everything harder than Boomers.
>>739738431Don't shoot the messenger
>>739738530Correct

All of that inflation on computer parts means we will get very good optimisation right? Right?
>>739737771Why would a $1000 closed-end machine be affordable for you?
>>739701516>bro just don't be poornotice how nobody ever says how to do itoh let me guess "get into debt for a worthless CS degree (because everyone must be an IT nerd incel according to subhumans, this is the new slave class) that will be raped by AI in 5 years, that will do it lil' bro just get rich bruh"
>>739738821Because PS6 Orion and Canis uses N3C while Xbox Helix uses fucking N3PN3C is the Cost-Effective Node made for value-tier affordable consumer electronics and is an entry-level mobile chip. Made for the mass-market.N3P on the other hand, is the Premium Performance Node. This shit is made for High-Performance Computers and not made for the mass-market.PS6 Orion is going to expensive, but the Xbox Helix is going to be close to $2000 like the Steam Machine. One is a console, the other is a PC. That's the difference and that will always be why PCs aren't worth getting for gaming.
>>739738358
>>739701434There are actual retards that thought this would cost less than $500 when it was just announced.>>739704292The worst part about this post is that it's probably not even an actual American typing this and just some seething 3rd worlder rent free about mutts.
>>739705412>wanting to make f*ta realI would accept a $2,000 steamdeck if it meant preventing the worst porn tag from being made manifest
>>739704292You say that like any of this shit was a choice. A blue government would've gone full retard on AI just like a red one would. Money talks, and there's a lot of money in AI for politicians.
>>739715567Irrational hatred is very telling.
>>739739030My post right here is why the PS6 Orion will be $700-$800 and why PS6 Canis will be $500-$550. Steam Machine and Xbox Helix are going to be around the same price of $1300-$1400 while Xbox is no longer being sold in retail due to being a PC now. Yeah, PC gaming is completely fucked. Nintendo and Sony won, console gaming pretty much won.
>>739739030No matter what the price ends up being, it's going to be a disaster. The fact that you're focusing on the technical aspects of the PS6 is the real problem. The latest consoles are basically PCs with proprietary hardwareThe problem is that you’re focusing on the technical aspects and on the fact that Xbox is going to lose, while ignoring what matters most to the vast majority of Playstation users: the price and whether it has a disc drive, and it will fall short on both counts>and that will always be why PCs aren't worth getting for gamingSpeak for yourself, I’m not the one who has to pay to play online and buy a Pro version to play games betterGetting a gaming PC is worth it because you have more freedom than on a console to do what you want, and you don’t have to put up with whatever the brand dictates, you choose your own comfort level. The initial investment might be more expensive, but in the long run, the savings are greaterIf you only knew how much PC gamers have saved on free games, and not just through the Epic Games Store and piracy, and the same goes for not having to pay to play online, which I think is ridiculous>>739739831>PS6 $700-$800>PS6 portable $500-$550I wish I had that kind of optimism about things that won't happenThe base PS5 is now $650 after its third price hike, while the Switch 2 went up to $50 in its first price hikeHow do you expect the portable version, which will essentially be a portable PS5, to cost less than the current price of the PS5?Honestly, I don’t understand your pricing logic. We’re going through a phase where prices keep going up, and current prices are higher than before. In the past, consoles depreciated over the years, but now they only go up. So you can’t expect low prices anymore, especially not the kind you mentionedIf you want a more realistic price estimate, it would be the base PS6 at $1000, the portable at $700, and I wouldn’t be surprised if PS5 prices went up for the fourth time
>>739701434>he waited and not did of buyoughting when it was cheap for the last time
>>739720415>too poor to afford a paperweightngmi
Valve does the biggest price increase in console history for the deck and steamies are defending it.
>>739740448Valve is also fucking with dlc unlockers ever fucking steam update. Valve is becoming a turn coat can't wait for the fags here to defend them.
why would i buy it when my pc still works fine?
>just buy a 1k PC>UMMM HAHA 8GB VRAM? THAT'S GONNA BE SHIT!>still has better specs than the steam machine>UMM WELL THE STEAM MACHINE IS MEANT TO BE A LOW-MID TIER DEVICE>so just buy a 1k PC>HAHAHA THATS GONNA SUCK!what is the valve friend's point

>>739702371Holy fuck, the switch 2 cost almost halve and runs games better? Do steamies really?
>>739741338Switch 2 will be absolutely worth it once you could pirate games on it
Insider here. Steam machine will be $1499 BUT You'll get $700 steam credits to spend.
>>739741406So the real price will be $799. Epicfags BTFO
>>739701434only a brown subhuman would buy this anyway, you're not brown are you anon?
>>739709637LolHave you seen the absolute state of the job market?
>>739741406Uh-huh, yeah, sure. Keep dreaming>>739738769No it means in 3-4 years there will be cloud exclusive games and in 10 all games will be cloud streamed
I'm just gonna buy an Apple Mac Studio instead, fuck that.
>>739741406If this was true (I'm not that optimistic) it'd be a good deal. But I feel like that's still an EXCESSIVE amount of store credit, enough that scalpers might grab them even more.Buy sm, sell sm for 1300, profit if you count steam games.
But my AI overlords promised me the universal based income...
>>739740362i still need to get retributioni heard its just more of the same and feels like an expansion over a new game but i d probably be ok with that
>>739740317Thus, the handheld exists, PS6 handheld is going to take the place of the Steam Deck while having exclusives to boot. Sony's prepared for the PS6 home console's possible failure and loss of their XSnoy audience for ones that actually like video games.>I wish I had that kind of optimism about things that won't happenSony can pull it off because they always take a loss at launch, the PS6 home will also have 1TB of SSD instead of 2TB like the PS5 Pro did.
Why the fuck is this thread discussing US elections when I don't even live in the US, we don't even have elections in our country, and the Steam Deck is still 900 USD? Now what?
>>739732637If you play 1080p you could still be chilling on a 3070 and maybe turn on some raytracing features, but 1440p on a 8gb vram card ended back in 2020. I rememeber having constant frame stutters on my 3070 at 1440p because it kept caching into ram after it went past the 8gb vram, was forced to upgrade to a 4080super, hopefully I can just that thing for as long as I used my 1070.
>>739702801OY VEY DELETE THIS POST NOOOOOOOW
>>739740801Why is there STILL only two parties in the US?
>>739742164Steamies are trying to take the heat off of Valve because the chinks are involved in some form.
>>739742210Why wouldn't there be? The Europeans just take extra step of making a coalition so that one "party" dominates anyway.It's just extra steps. Same shit anyway: the rich get richer, the poor get poorer

>>739742210Because you'd need a considerable amount of capital to fund a party in the US, it's not for example like some EU countries, where all you need is to register, get like 30 people to register with you and poof you're now a official party. You'd need like several millions of dollars in the US to be able to even campaign, and that is before how the other two parties will do everything they can to discredit and murder your party before it goes anywhere. The american Political system is completely self inflicted and it is where it is because the people themselves deem it good enough.
>>739742210Americans are weird, even in Britain where they also use plurality voting in single electoral districts, just like in the US, they managed to have more than 2 parties, whereas in American they're dead scared of the spoiler effect and never vote for any party that isn't one of the two dominant one. But to be fair, in the US, the Republican and Democratic parties are not even real organizations in the same way that European parties are, in the sense that you don't need to be nominated by your party to run as a Republican/Democrat in the US, unlike in most European countries, so perhaps that's the reason.

>>739701434>>739701516
>>739744870unironically, one of the reasons videogames were so dominant from the Naught's on was the extremely high cost-to-entertainment ratio. Even the most linear 6-8 hour AAA slop of the 2000's was still a better cost proposition than something like going out.Inflation both in the sense of the rising costs of all things, and the sense of the ballooning costs of the AAA budget sphere, is starting to threaten that analysis. Ironically, things like X-Box gamepass and the rise of streaming services like Netflix, are also changing the calculus.Videogames are not yacht's. They cannot just charge what the fuck ever and expect people to buy. The core of videogames remain broke ass schlubs, which was why micro-transactions were such a hot vein of gold to break into in the later 2000's and now GAAS. If broke bitches cannot buy your games, they simply won't, and your game will not recoop it's losses unless you're extremely lucky and catch some whales. And increasingly that's harder to do thanks to GAAS overcrowding.

>>739757203>valve isn't a hardware company and they don't want to be a hardware companyThen why have they spent orders of magnitude more time and effort developing hardware then anything else over the last decade or so? They've put out more hardware platforms than video games.
>>739757203>Valve isn't a hardware companyCorrect.>they don't want to be a hardware companyIncorrect. Steam machines, steam controller 1, steam index, steam controller 2, steam deck, steam frame, steam cube, etc. Valve is trying to become the Apple of PC gayman and the only reaspn why they don't have more hardware is because all of their past ventures outside of steam have failed. The deck is their first real success and has emboldened them.
