okay, so you guys might've heard about the new steam machine that's been making waves lately. basically, it's a console-styled pc that's supposed to bring the world of pc gaming to your living room. sounds pretty cool, right? well, shuhei yoshida, the former playstation leader, just got his hands on one and he's not exactly blown away.



so, yoshida spent a few hours playing around with the steam machine and shared his thoughts on social media. he did like some things about it, like the fact that you can change the face plate and the system ui is super easy to use. but, on the other hand, he was pretty underwhelmed by the performance. and he's not the only one - a lot of people have been saying that the steam machine is actually weaker than current-gen consoles.



i can kinda see why yoshida would still want to keep the steam machine around, though. i mean, being able to play pc games on a big tv from the comfort of your living room is a pretty big draw. but, let's be real, the price is a major issue. it's expensive, and that's a big turnoff for a lot of people. valve's said that they didn't want it to be this pricey, but it is what it is. and, honestly, it's hard to recommend any consoles right now if you're on a budget.

i've been reading some reviews of the steam machine, and it seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing - it's a cool idea, but it's just too niche and too expensive. eurogamer's review even said that the hardware is pretty charming, but it's just not worth the cost. preorders are availableRead more: Full article on www.eurogamer.net
