Steam Machines 'more powerful' than consoles hit this fall

4.6
Valve continues to put console gaming in its crosshairs with news that a dozen new Steam Machines are hitting this November. Prices aren't concrete, but the company promises higher performance than game consoles starting at "the same price point." What's more, new units from Alienware and Falcon Northwest are on display at this year's Game Developers Conference, with the latter showing off Unreal Tournament running on a 4K monitor.

I'm excited to see what this turns out to be like hopefully it meets up to its expectation since I may buy one if they are really good in the future.

Tet Sean you messed up again...

"Steam Machines ALWAYS MORE POWERFUL than consoles hit this fall"

I don't think Sean actually posts the news on here, if he does then I've lost respect for him. And the quote was from Valve, you cannot simply add your own words to a quote because you believe it should be ammended. Otherwise, it's not a quote anymore it's an interpretation of a quote.

You messed up, actually.

You took the joke waaaay to seriously.

-Skittle I don't really understand Steam Machines, are they different branded consoles using a Steam OS?

They are full on PCs with SteamOS. They are not "consoles" but rather a hybrid.

Aimi I'd love to see some more information on this.


Same. Not really much info yet so I hope they tell us more soon.

Will it be able to play new games on highest settings five years from now? Or will I have to buy a new one?

This seems pretty cool but I doubt I will get one.

Alienware is pretty much highway robbery. Building your own PC is much cheaper than these Steam machines.

Can't wait to actually get a small Steam machine this year because the number of console games is sad.
