>>741775284It's THE perfect device for Honk Kong inhabitants that live in 2m2 apartments.
>>741775284epstein was right, they are a fucking cattle
>>741775284It's not so hard if the supply is tiny, I doubt they provided even 30k units(weekly sales of current consoles)
>>741775284Fuck Komodo. I didn’t even want one but they didn’t even announce when it went up for sale.
>>741775284That says Hong Kong and Taiwan, those chinks bought 99% of the steam machines available here, not the Japs, and there's probably only like 100 available anyway
>>741775839What's the difference?
>>741775284>Taiwan, Hong KongChink resellers
>>741775284total units: 5
That is because Japan is Based and appreciates interesting technology. Western fats just want the next best thing for free, they are gibsmedats. Steam Machine will be best PC for superior Japan man.
>>741775284oh wow they sold out the five units they sent out to japan lmao
>>741777797truth nuke
>>741775284It will sell out in the US too. Only EUcucks are too poor for it
>>741776981>>741778031Here comes the copium.
>>741775839It says Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Komodo is the official distributor of Steam hardware in all those countries.
>>741778142Have you seen computer prices in EU? The Steam Machine price unironically looks cheap, because it's almost same as in dollars.
Wow they sold the 2 units they produced!
It's going to be sold out as soon as they get stock for a couple years because they aren't producing enough to match demand
>>741777797Based
Damn you, Japan.I thought you wouldn't fall for that fucking Newell's.Are there any countries where PC gaming and that Steam crap aren't popular?
Tendies seething again lol
>>741780269Antarctica maybe
>>741780269Modding scene is very advanced now, so anyone serious about gaming is better off playing on PC.
>>741780269it's probably just scalpers buying overseas where they havent been locked out.i doubt the japanese even know this thing exists.
>>741776941only one of those is a "chink reseller" which is: Hong Kong. (Hong Kong is no longer free, its completely hostilely taken over, anyone saying otherwise is a Chinese propagandist pretending its still a two-state solution than a violent invasion of Hong Kong with lethal consequence. Intel, Nvidia and other companies constantly work directly with Taiwan, you suck dicks.
>>741777797The Steam Machine will kill Japanese eroge. This isn't good. PC with discs have been dying, but a system with Steam preinstalled and integrated will also kill DMM and DLSite.Steam censors Japanese eroge. In matter of fact, Steam censors Japanese console games. For example, Compile Heart's Tokyo Clanpool was banned and Koei Tecmo's Ar Nosurge DX's CG was censored.
>>741775284Selling out 20 units isnt hard
>>741775284we'll see how it looks on Famitsu.i'll laugh it doesnt sell more than PS5, which is highly likely lol
>>741780990>buy gabe cube>play eroge anyway because you don't have to use steam
>>741780528Hopefully Japan hosts their own modding sites. The last thing they need are GameBanana and Nexus Mods censoring them too.
>>741775284>Japs could get actually great pc rigs but they are too used to the console meme>the moment they can get a consolized pc they will jump shipNice but also cringe
>>741780990you're panicking over stock that was delivered on it's entirety on one of those mini carsand to chink scalpers no less
>>741780990You can use DMM and DLSite on Steam Machine. Nothing stops those services from making their own convenient store application for Steam Machines or other Linux computers either.
>>741780990A lot of H-games work fine added as non-steam games on the Deck.
>>741780990>the steamie already samefagging thiskek
>>741775284Why do they need to partner with a separate "distributor" company for Asia, bypassing the queue system they're using everywhere else?If they can ship directly to Poland and Australia, why not Japan?
>>741780528PC gaming is for idiots.Besides, I won't give him my money and I'm not going to bow down to a jerk like that moron Newell.Besides, I prefer smartphone gaming.
>>741781437Valve is a tiny company (note that tiny doesn't mean they have no money), probably lack the human resources to operate in markets where English is very uncommon and it takes a bit more than a snap of fingers to create Valve Japan co ltd.
>>741775284Valvebros, we're winning.
>>741775284I heard this exact same song and dance with the steam deck.Spoilers: It didn't end well.
>Besides, I prefer smartphone gaming.
saars we wonded the warss!!!!! steamie supremecy!!!!!!!!
>>741775284I guarantee you it’ll sell out everywhere due to limited supply
>>741781764Sounds like bullshit.According to a survey on Steam, the share of Japanese has increased from 0.85% to 2.56% over 10 years3 million is actually how much Japan's population shrank since 2015
>>741781764Sounds like a bullshit research
>>741782123>over 10 yearslol
>>741781683Google, Apple and ChatGPT superiorsValve inferior
>>741775284>Being a parasocial drizzle slurper for other companies>cursed>Being a parasocial drizzle slurper for valve>basedI will never understand the hypocrisy, how has valve manipulated socials to this degree to have a cult-like parade of billion-company defenders?
>>741782310they do good things and aren't beholden to the eternal shareholder's whims
>>741780269It's the gaijin. Mostly Chinese scalpers.
>>741781180>buy gabe cube>controller sold separately or upsold with the overpriced tier>discless system because Valve cannot compete with physical media>coerces the user into either making a Steam account or unofficially installing a different OS>SteamOS lacks native support for drive encryption, so thieves can steal all login credentials on your box or handheld PCsI suppose everything can be solved by knowing how to use linux, but why even buy the steam machine? I can understand the unique controller, but it's sold separately anyway. Therefore, I will continue hating on Valve because they censor fiction.
>>741782548>>discless system because Valve cannot compete with physical mediabigger deal than you think in japan when to this day eroge still release in disks physically
>>741780990Maybe it's time to return to the good old days and have doujin groups mail deliver their games on microsd cards.
>>741782896return? japan never left physical mediameanwhile westoids happily gave up physical ownership of PC games because a yacht company sometimes gives you discounts on shovelware you will never play lol
>>741775284
>>741782548Eh, it's not such a huge issue. I'm going to keep my current SATA SSD and dual boot. SATA adapters are dirt cheap and modern USB can handle the speed.
>>741781437logistics is a bitch
>>741782548>controller sold separatelyYou can use any controllers or kb&m you have lying around>unofficially installing a different OSValve has said you can install windows if you want and it will work like any other PC>drive encryptionNobody gives a shit
>>741775661Anon the real cattle are excited for a game being released on a decade old console. We live in a society.
>>741782548>buy gabe cube>don't need to pay for a controller I don't need it>don't need to be bogged down by gay shit like bitlocker or whatever FAGMAN garbage windows is pushing>don't need to use steam if I don't want to (good luck playing digital games on console without an account!)what's the problem again?
>>741781476It's genuinely preposterous that I have to read some third world, Favela coded post like this when I go online
>>741775284Yoko Taro is mad that he missed a reservation because he was getting an endoscopy, lol.
>>741783858isnt yoko taro rich enough to just build an itx gaming pc? I guess he's probably a tech illiterate boomer.
>>741784775He's rich enough that he wants a gabe cube as decoration in his living room
>>741784775>buildI build PCs for a hobby, love doing it and even I wouldn't want to build an ITX gaming PC. It's the most unfun experience imaginable. He's rich enough to pay someone to do it, I'm sure, but finding someone who'll do a good job is probably not trivial.
>>741775284Why do everyone always rush to buy the first version of a "console" when most of the time the second revision always comes out better since it fixes a major flaw of the first version?
>>741775284All 100 units?
>>741781263>You can use DMM on Steam MachineReally? Because last time I tried (last year), the DMM launcher bitched and moaned whenever I tried.
>>741785745idk about any launcher, I used DMM a long time ago and played web browser porn games on it. I don't know why you'd need some launcher for a browser porn game.
>>741775661no shit, why do you think the fisher price tablet is popular in that country?
>>741775284Crazy how people are still defending Valve even though they could have easily sold it at a loss due to the Steam infinite money glitch, but i guess the fat billionaire needs another yacht
>>741786070DMM has been forcing their own launcher to run games. Wanna play Umamusume or Gakumas? It has to be from their launcher (which is also region locked but that part is easy to bypass)
>>741786761>sell it at a loss>people buy it to do something other than play vidya>valve loses money
>>741775284Oddly enough, Japan might be the rare audience that needs a gateway to PC like Steam Machine.
>>741786761>sell at a loss>everyone jumps on them claiming "look look, they have such a monopoly they don't even care if they lose money"and don't even bother denying you'd be the first contrarian to do this
>>741783404Problem is people think this is a console.
>>741787248>>741782310
Valve did their market research. /v/ posters seem to forget that there is a huge segment of people that are so technically illiterate that their only view of the online world is through a smartphone. They own no PC or laptop, just a smartphone and maybe a streaming box. With Gen A, that cohort is growing. Steam machine is for them, not us.
>>741786804Yeah it's fucked if they use some special snowflake launcher now, that doesn't run on Linux at all. However, then I wouldn't feel bad if they go out of business as this guy here >>741780990Is seemingly worried about. DESERVED.
>>741787159why would they?>pso2 is dead>apex is dead>vtubers moved on to the switch 2>FF14 moved to the switch 2>random indie friendslop they are watching they favourite vtuber play is on the switch 2>and that's assuming said vtuber isnt just playing pokopia or tomodachi life all day
>>741781134Valve don't have the manufacturing capability of fucking sony, of course it won't.Not with sam altman buying all the RAM.
>>741781134It is LITERALLY impossible for Steam hardware to sell more than PS5. They don't even make 10% of the units.
>>741786804If the Steam Machine somehow actually impacts their sales, they'll either adapt or get replaced by some other service.
>>741785186I was thinking the same exact thing. ITX builds are a fucking chore and I'd never build one myself just due to the headache of making sure all the parts can fit together. The lowest I've gone is mATX which isn't too bad but it's still a slight headache compared to building in a regular ATX case.
every day my respect for the Japanese diminishes
>>741787883>If the Steam Machine somehow actually impacts their salesIt won't. Most nips don't even buy their VNs from Steam
>>741775284>did not use a reservation queueso chinese scalpers bought all of it
>>741789520problem with japan and pc is even digitally they're still in a walled off garden. their steam games have their own versions with different pricing all done so retail doesn't die.
>>741787849>>741787758Sony only sold like 8k ps5s in the last Famitsu, I could see the steam machine in Japan beating that with the initial surge. The question is if they'll even track it as a console since Valve says its a PC
>>741781437no one at Valve speaks Japanese I guess
>>741775284I was planning on chucking one of this on my minivan so I can hear my family calling someone a nigger over vc while on a roadtrip but 1k+ is just too much.
>>741786562I dunno, this looks to be the main factor in comparison.Also one is portable you fucking nigger.
>japan >steamlol? Anyway, many people in Asia with a lot of money in CS2 will use Steam hardware to make money, even by reselling it below its price (around $900). It's cheaper and less problematic than skin resale sites, which, although their commission might be low, lose some money when switching from crypto payments to bank transfers.
>>741775284Of course it's going to sell out. But it's too expensive for what it delivers.
>>7417907622.76% of steam users are using japanese as their primary languagein may 2020, 6 years ago, it was 1.61%their percentage has increased by 50% along with the overall growth of steam so the real users have at least doubled
>>741780269Africa.
>>741781476Get the fuck off my board, plebeian.
>>741789004>Another falseflag
>>741780990Steam has made DLsite eroge millions and will host games won;t even show you anymore. They have shitloads of loli games on steam, but all people gripe about the few that get denied because devs didn't make a patch. Also, it's a PC. Consoles are a far worse blight on ecchi and won't even accept eroge.
>>741787558Only 1 out of the 10+ vtuber streams/videos youtube recommends to me are not playing a game on PC
>>741775284The $900 steam deck was also sold out briefly as well. Steamies are a cult even bigger than tendies.
>>741777797>Interesting technology>Low end prebuilt with a freeely available os>Sold at an absurd premium>with an led strip, y'all!
>>741787492DLsite and DMM are EXTREMELY jewish assholes, but they do give a platform to games most would never host in a million years so they're a kind of necessary evil.
>>741791417>and will host games won;t even show you anymore*Steam will host games DLsite won't even show you anymore
>>741775284>thirdies hooting and hollering about the price>world's last first world country quietly buys it
>>741781134Famitsu can't track it, the Deck is also sold in Japan.
They said they literally couldn't even get parts to fill out their miniscule order, is "selling out" supposed to be a benchmark or something? They probably only have like 10k units.
>>741791535If you want a Steam Deck or Steam Deck like system, what are you gonna do if not pay 900 USD? Legion Go S is over 1100 USD. Yeah, it's also more powerful. but it's still 1133 USD. I'm not saying you can't get a better deal (XBox ROG ALLY XXXXX is slightly better price/performance I think) but you're paying out the fucking nose for anything.
Congrats Gabe.
>>741791887wrong

>>741792062nice cherrypick, how many hours did it take you to find the one place where fps doesn't drop?
>>741786761they should've gifted them, Valve can easily afford it
>>741789808Considering Valve only has 350 employees, that is entirely plausible.
>>741791887y this 40 year old man got braces?what could possibly have made him insecure

>>741792664might unironically buy one from a chinese scalper if I dont win the raffle
>>741793095No cause they actually produce millionsOnce valve shit is sold out it goes out of production lmao, you think valve will resupply their stock lmao. They are just getting whatever they have out the door
At least there's no way this will be scalped, right? Scalpers aren't retarded enough to try scalping a $1000 computer, right?Right?
>>741793279They tried to scalp the Wii U.
>>741793279They would be very retarded but they are scalpers so I see them doing that.
>>741777797>appreciates interesting technologyOh is this a pc that costs twice as much as my 6 year old ps5?Me velly hype
>>741793917What's interesting about this tech is the size and packaging. PS5 is colossal in comparison.
>>741793279It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up getting sold out because of scalpers alone.Might be able to buy it reasonable price when ebay is flooded with steam machines no one wants.
>b-but it's a portable PCfor $1,300 you can get a gaming laptop with far better specs than that cash-grab piece of junk
>>741792190I hope the negative reaction scared enough people away because I'd really like to have it in the next few months.
>>741794642This isn't portable. It's just small.
>>741794642I was just about to mention this. Pretty much all RTX 5060 laptops out spec it, and some are even on sale in the $900-$1000 range right now.

>>741775284why not pic related?
They are still stocked in Hong Kong. Hong Konger are major cheapstakes that they won't touch a hair on this. Mainlanders are too poor and just waiting for local competitor for much cheaper price. Mainland electronic market is actually extremely competitive, goods with corner cut thousands times are often sell at loss just for the market share . Stock are shown differently at locations and they are only sold out in Japan and Taiwan. This can be easily verified with VPN. And it is reasonable since they have much higher population. Japanese custom pc market is always struggling because of importer, leading parts being relatively more expensive. Weak yen also didn't help. So gablecube is somewhat appealing to them.
>>741782548You know, you can just connect your mouse and keyboard, or your controller that you already own.I do wish the cube had a disc reader but for non coomer reasons. i would like a living room HTPC that can play my bluray movie library. It's too overpriced for that thoughever. >Steam accountI'm not even going to ask why this bothers autists>SteamOS lacks native support for drive encryptionWhy is this something you need for a gaming PC/console
>>741793279>Scalpers aren't retarded enough to try scalping a $1000 computer, right?If its already sold out that means demand exceeds supply. That means people will buy from scalpres
>>741798480anyway I can just order one from hong kong and avoid the lottery? from what I understand theres no reservation system so I shouldnt have an issue
>>741775284That controller won't fit Japanese hands.
tiny tech cubes are like catnip for japs
>>741795683MSI cyborgs are $900 at BJs. HP victus are $970 at micro center. Both have 5060s, the victus even has a 1TB ssd.
>>741799843It's not even big.
>>741775661No nips just want to have fun unlike you sewer rats
>>741775284Will we see a rerun of the "duke" dilemma?
>>741800429I wonder why nobody is buying those. I'm not just saying it, I'm curious.
Samefag shill thread
should I just get the Stim Machine from the french?
>>741775284Maybe it makes sense in Japan cuz it is so small to fit in the scarce space.
>>741791887kek nice hack job linus
>>741780990they just install emulators without telling anybody.
>>741787558VNs, porn games retard
>>741800649The victus were sold out at my local micro center, they got more in stock today. A deal just ended for $900 5060 acer nitros at target too yesterday.5060 laptops are usually around 1100-1300, but they very often go on sale. I got a 5060 legion 5 for like $800 a few months ago for on the go.
>>741791887are modern goyim too retarded to use a computer?
>>741800747Case is about 70 EUR, a PSU is 70 EUR, GFX is 340 EUR, CPU is 110 EUR with box cooler, SSD is 60 bucks for a turd, 170 EUR for MEM, 130 EUR for the cheapest ASRock crap motherboard. Total 950 EUR.999 EUR is close to cost, but I picked some of the cheapest crap I could find for any component that wasn't the case and PSU to get there. I wouldn't want that. Rather pay more to build something better. I can't imagine the component choice is premium.
>>741784775After the price reveal, most buyers will be in it for the aesthetic or novelty. MiniPCs and SBCs may be smaller but they are still weaker (for GPU heavy tasks). ITX builds perform better but are bigger and more power hungry. It also has the whole faceplate gimmick.It's also easier to sell a novelty if it's small.
>>741786761They're currently fighting multiple lawsuits that alledge anti-competitive practices. Subsidizing their product could look bad in court.
>>741802091It's probably thrice the power of a steam machine.
>>741803147They wouldn't do it even it looked good, because it's a retarded thing to do.
>>741775679Try 10k.
>>741803767I don't give a shit, I'm saying that I wouldn't want to build it like that because it'd be too awful for reasons other than performance. Like for example, the box cooler if that is actually what would be used. It's SHIT. So is the graphics card, cheap 9070s are loud as fuck.
>>741803785It's an effective strategy in some scenarios, but risky. Microsoft and Sony have done it to varying degrees, but they also have advantages when it comes to procurement.
>>741804262It's an effective strategy when you have a way to lock down your hardware so nobody can use it for unintended purposes.
>>741804262Those kind of strategies are usually done with the intention of making the products or services worse/more expensive later. This is why you have people complaining about sony or xbox for raising the price of things like PSN/gamepass, peripherals. A lot of what people call enshittification is really more like subsidies being taken away and prices moving to ensure profitability.
>>741792353There's a lot of problems that may occur with a person's bite later in life that may require braces (especially with no previous orthodontic treatment), it's usually not purely aesthetically driven. Though I can't comment on why he's wearing them.t. dentist
>>741775284It sold out...to a bunch of chinese hungry for components to be imported as carry ons. Their ai researchers want this pile of shit that the us has embargoed. It never ends.
>>741775661You're forgetting that Japan sells eroge which is PC exclusive.
>>741801560Those run on the office laptops they already have.
>>741812059 Those still release in physical format, disks specifically, which the cult cube does not support.
>>741800747>>741802091I tried to build it too and got 977$ without the case.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bRHzPfI'm starting to think this price is quite fair considering the optimal airflow and the engineering they did so its easier to fix/modify.
>>741785745>>741787883You are very stupid, anon. SteamOS is just a version of Linux. It's entirely possible to install anything onto it that you can run on Linux. Go back.
>>741812059Eroge doesn't sell.
>>741813873Are you talking about the Steam Machine price? It's bad when you are looking for performance, because the one you built is significantly better performing. 9060 XT is a LOT more powerful. If you could build the exact system I posted at 1337 USD, you'd be a lot happier with the performance compared to a Steam Machine. However, yes, in terms of thermal engineering and form factor the price isn't unfair, because it's very hard to make a small PC. There are lots of sacrifices you have to make.Getting better performance here isn't free.
>>741775284>>741775661i wouldnt worry, valve doesnt even have enough hardware to make these consoles the most steam decks they sold in its lifetime was around 5 million, thats LIFETIMEthe wii u sold triple that in less time and was seen as a flop. so when you see sold out, its just valve struggling to make a normal amount of consoles it would be at most in the thousands not millions and it will stagnate WELL before thenits like the entire process of creating scarcity to seem as though you are doing much better than you appear
>>741816334>Ferrari doesn't make as many cars as Toyota so that means Ferrari is a flopthat's what you sound like
>>741775284More fake news to make Vavle products seem more popular than their are. *sigh*
