I know that Steam Deck is talked about a lot here, but the overall numbers really aren’t that high. And who knows if Steam took that number out for the steam machine analysis.
That doesn’t make any sense at all. People can buy whenever they want. And whether it’s a PC or a steam machine this is simply the price. There’s discussion everywhere that building yourself would have a whopping $70, and of course prebuilt will be the same.
In the total project timeframe it takes to design and produce a machine, that is now.
Woo $49 savings.
… There are plenty in that group that can afford a steam machine. Why is everyone acting like that 70% is living on gruel.
Seriously what are you on about? It doesn’t have to be every single one of that 70% that’s chomping at the bit to upgrade. That is the easy customer pool. PCs users are on a continuous upgrade cycle, it’s not like consoles where they have to upgrade every generation. It’s more of a cycle. Can’t afford? You seem to want to focus on the cheapest users and act as if that’s all 70%, which sorry to say is just wrong and bad thinking. Sure there’s a long tail in that bell curve and some at the very end are on strict budgets, but there are tons that are just on the normal upgrade path. Plus others whose PC’s break. The 30% above steam specs can wait it out, but 70% may still want/need to upgrade. No one is ignoring price, this is simply the price of PC gaming now. And what are you quoting? You’re just making things up now, so that’s my sign I really need to peace out. Ciao.
What are you on about? There are people that will still want/need to upgrade, and those are the customers. It’s not ignoring price, that is simply the price whether it’s a PC or a steam machine. Something tells me you just want to disagree so ciao.
I’m gonna say that’s next to nothing, especially when you consider driver support.
That means there are a shitload of potential customers, not “I wonder how many people there are that fall in that category but who wouldn’t just buy a much cheaper console instead though.”
With today’s prices how much cheaper would you get building similar yourself?
They said this is more powerful than 70% of steam user’s PC.
PS6 and Xbox whatever aren’t going to come out for a very long time.
