Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.

It all depends on the price.

True, but I'm sure valve is well aware of that based on their past experience. Valve is a rare company that learns from their mistakes for the most part IMO

True. What do you think the Machine will cost?

[–] tabris@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The rumours I'm seeing put it between $800 - $1000, or the equivalent in your currency. So not as much as the next Xbox, which is pegged at $1200, a fair chunk more than a PS5, but in the range of an entry level gaming PC.

What kind of headline is that? THE console generation?

The current console generation, which is already five years old?

Consoles have existed for decades. I dont understand the headline either.
