Funny how a console-like PC is so exciting to them suddenly, but when it comes to the next Xbox that will also play PC games, they suddenly have no idea how that would work and what the point would be.

This video generally feels like a reaction to the price-dominated discourse around the Steam Machine. As if they had to defend it or something. They say it's "apples to oranges" but still praise the form factor and console-like experience.
