So... this Steambox thing...

[Deadlywere]

Why would a console gamer get a console that offers no exclusives?

What do you mean no exclusives? There's load of games like Amnesia, Sims, and all those RTS games that can be played on the PC (Which is what the steam box is).

Nobody here have a Spectrum +2 or Amiga back in the 8/16 bit era? As someone who has, and how imo gaming was better on those platforms compared to older PCs my next rig could very well be a Steambox.

Steambox wont happen.

Valve is to busy with VR goggle headsets.

Oculus Rift!!!!! [http://www.oculusvr.com/] Can't wait!

For anyone that doesn't know: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/361131/valve-epic-and-id-software-trigger-kickstarter-craze-for-vr-headset/


And if it somehow works with Leap Motion [https://leapmotion.com/], even better.

2013 is going to be a crazy year for technology.

I have to ask, what's the incentive to the people who already know and love Steam and already do everything that the Steambox can pretty much do on a PC?

None. SteamBox is not for people who already game on a PC.

It's being made to reach into a new market.
