8GB vram is perfectly acceptable for the performance level of this box.

I think the argument being made is that the performance level of this box is not really acceptable for a game-console-replacement product in 2026.

The performance is pretty bad when compared to the PS5 Pro, which is much cheaper.

The performance is terrible compared to the PS5 Pro. The performance is pretty bad when compared to the base PS5, which is half the price.

  So… $528 cheaper…???
  
  PS5 Pro is 2TB and comes with controller. It is also way faster hardware than Steam Machine and can play native 4K.

    It’s 2TB with memory Sony stockpiled before things went crazy. Valve had to buy after things went crazy. 😉
    
    Watch the PS5 price go up again.
