Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point

You’re missing a big factor in value: PlayStation requires a subscription just to use online multiplayer. PC games don’t. If someone buys a Steam Machine, even if they were the same price and same specs that person would be saving >$100 every year

Also steam has a massive library that PlayStation just doesn’t have, the first game in my steam library is Fallout: New Vegas which I got in 2012 meanwhile the oldest game in my steam library is Wasteland which I believe realized in 1988. That alone gives steam a massive advantage since you can’t really do that on console without some series modding.
