Steam box will be too expensive for mass adoption.
Steam box will be too expensive for mass adoption. Sure it will sell ok but it’s going to be priced like an equivalent gaming PC, not like a console. The folks that game on steam already have their gaming PC. The reason the steam deck sold was portability. People buying the steam box are those with above average incomes to afford two gaming PCs or those that are valve supporters. Steam box won’t make it suddenly the year of Linux
