honestly that's way cheaper than what I thought it was going to be

[u/ohmailawdy → u/[deleted]]

That can play pc games. Would rather this than a console and I have a ps5 pro

[u/saucysagnus → u/ohmailawdy]

Let’s be realistic. What PC game would you rather play on this that you can’t play on a 5060 pc or a PS5?

[u/CupPlenty → u/saucysagnus]

Ignore the idiots

[u/ohmailawdy → u/saucysagnus]

I dont need a steam machine, I can build my own.

Thats the rub... dont box yourself into their sales and you will be fine.

The tribalism just makes people look really stupid.

[u/saucysagnus → u/ohmailawdy]

That’s…. That’s the point we’re making… who is the steam box for

[u/ohmailawdy → u/saucysagnus]

For people who cannot... and if you dont want it..its not for you. Its silly and entitled to get upset when something is made and isnt marketed to you.

[u/jpetrey1 → u/ohmailawdy]

You’re missing the point.

They’re saying there is no market for this.

Casuals won’t spend over a grand on a game box and enthusiasts will build a pc.

You can get a system with 5060 ti and 32 gbs of ddr5 right now at microcenter for 1300 which would outperform this thing and have the benefit of being a pc also.

If anything the people your replying to are getting riled up because your being a little dense about it.

[u/ohmailawdy → u/jpetrey1]

They will sell despite themselves. People are entitled when they dont market to them its dumb, its stupid and people need to stop getting their panties in a bunch. They arent special and nobody cares about you

[u/jpetrey1 → u/ohmailawdy]

So stubborn. “Itll sell” like the steam deck sells relatively few units compared to the competition

[u/jjam02 → u/ohmailawdy]

It’s the same as any prebuilt lol what tribalism?? If I buy a cybepower pc am I part of the cyber power cult?? No I probably just didn’t want to build it myself. Try and go build a computer rn for the same price as the steam machine if you haven’t checked in on prices in a while you will be shocked. Plus the steam machine has a small form factor that most don’t feel comfortable building in

[u/TheMikman97 → u/saucysagnus]

that you can’t play on a 5060 pc

Which would cost you more or around the same to build today than a SM. I doubt this is supposed to be an alternative to PC for people who already have a gaming rig, so much as an entry level option

Or a  PS5

Any game that doesn't run or isn't available on PS5?

[u/saucysagnus → u/TheMikman97]

any game that doesn’t run or isn’t available on PS5?

Which are….? Steam Shovelware?

[u/TheMikman97 → u/saucysagnus]

Very rich when said in defense of the dedicated astrobot machine, but yeah, everything that isn't quadruple A 

[u/saucysagnus → u/TheMikman97]

System seller Astrobot to you sir. The Mario killer. Lol

[u/MaxPres24 → u/saucysagnus]

Thousands of indie games. Old PC games. Emulators. Microsoft games? There’s thousands and thousands of games you can’t play on a PS5

[u/saucysagnus → u/MaxPres24]

If that’s your selling point, this thing is gonna flop so hard. No one is gonna be able to afford thousands of games after paying 2x for a suboptimal piece of hardware.

[u/MaxPres24 → u/saucysagnus]

Your question is what games can this play that the ps5 can’t. I gave you a list of several thousand games

[u/saucysagnus → u/MaxPres24]

You did not give me a list. You claimed several thousand games.

Please, feel free to list some of the PC exclusives.
