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.

lilrichard22 Will it be able to play new games on highest settings five years from now? Or will I have to buy a new one?


Obviously it wont. I dont think any machine now can play at the highest setting for games 5 years from now..... Thats just common sense.


Then that means it's going to be outdated faster if it's going to try to keep up with PC. They say you can upgrade the parts, but it's supposed to be harder (not sure by how much though). Alien-ware says they are releasing new steam machines annually, which I don't like the sound of. If you want to game on Steam, I guess you should get an actual PC.

Pryzel Don't think that this will be all that successful. However that is just my opinion.
I agree considering there's Xbox and PS. Plus the wii also...


So a new console won't ever be able to compete when it's inherently better?
"inherently better" specs don't make something better than another. For example, Androids have better specs than iOS Devices and aren't better... same with PS4/X1... Lol...

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

Same here, I don't think these will be as popular as the Xbox's and PS's.

A lot of people are moving to PC and this will probably be very popular in the upcoming years.
