and gaming PCs install base will drastically increase, we, PC gamers, will be swimming in AAA exclusives and multiplats.

And console gamers will be like this,

begging for PC games.

And as X1 will flop, too, we will have MS on our side as well, bringing to PC first-party exclusives. And Oculus Rift. Playing Star Citizen. And having virtual sex with virtual chicks in our Oculus Rift helmets XD

Valve isn´t joining the "console wars" because they aren´t making a console.

*tons of great INDIE games and knowing I need to constantly upgrade my hardware which is expensive then yes PC gaming is "great".

And PC doesn't fit in SW imo. PC is not comparable to consoles.

Uh no, it gets tons of great games in general, both mainstream and "indie." And no, i don't need to "constantly" upgrade my hardware.

And if you don't think PC fits in SW, then take it up with the mods

This analogy is adorable

Also, Steamboxes are PCs, not consoles. And all gaming machines are computers. Thank you PBS.

I've said it countless times, PS4 and Xbone have crap launch games. But next-gen consoles are meant for the long term.

I think you're greatly overestimating the Steam Machines. Those are clearly marketed towards existing PC gamers who want their existing PC to be more flexible.

not rly, with both consoles and pc architechtures being similar is more easy than ever to make multiplat games and only a dumb dev/publisher would ignore the money the other systems bring to them, if you see exclusives is because certain company specifically paid for it or is own by it, most if not all 3rd party devs will go multiplat this gen.

1. I wasn't counting social gaming, as steam surely doesn't. I never do. Not in my aaa/aa tallies. Not in my revenue talk. Never. PC is top dog w/out that.

2. WiiFit, Kinect, handheld, xbla, and yearly sports rehash gamers count, so why not?

This has been tried before so many times and has always failed. Microsoft tried it several times the last try being Windows Media Center but that failed and project abandoned. The masses do not want their PC in the living room.

Look we know all you care about is 720p on a Plasma and audio that has no real world benefit to anyone who Is not an audiophile.

Pc in the living room is a tiny niche , no one gives a crap about desktops any more except the nerdiest of nerds and PC shouldn't be allowed in system wars its a computer it's like comparing a car to a boat

Sure it will be. A device with an i7 and other expensive PC components isn't going to be cheap. Steam box is going to be a major flop. I agree with the previous poster. I will never buy another desktop PC.

I sort of gave up interest in the Steam Machines once I found out that only a limited amount of video games on Steam will work for it, because the operating system it uses is Linux based. I'm not sure what to get, I am in for a long wait.

This has been tried before so many times and has always failed. Microsoft tried it several times the last try being Windows Media Center but that failed and project abandoned. The masses do not want their PC in the living room.

but now they are making a console type pc that can easily be plugged in the living room and with steam os it can be controlled completely from the controller and the couch, this time is different.

Sure it will be. A device with an i7 and other expensive PC components isn't going to be cheap. Steam box is going to be a major flop. I agree with the previous poster. I will never buy another desktop PC.

Is not cheap, no one is saying is cheap, but it won't make a difference, pc gamers already pay that and more for gaming pcs. You get what you pay for.

What are they even going to cost?

It's more about the OS than their PCs. People will build small form factor systems using a case like this one.
