In a market where useless(for gaming), cheap laptops (usually) start at $400, I cant see how these Steam Boxes can be sold at prices that can compete with current- and next-gen consoles in price.
We'll have to wait and see actual hardware and prices before making a judgement.
@GamersKing84 I think it's very likely. The XBox One and PS4 appear to have enough power and RAM to handle the load. We won't know for sure until EA gives us more info about BF4. So, fingers crossed!
I think we need to wait for the reviews to see how much of their words are true. The team working on this is their Mobile team so it's not out of the question that they are making a $60 Deus Ex game in Eidos Montreal. I can wait as long as the wait is worth is worth it in the end.
