In this video, we break down why the Steam Machine may launch looking weaker than a PS5, why it still might outperform most gaming PCs, and how the perception of price could make or break this device. If Valve wants a hit, they’ll need to reach the huge neglected audience of budget gamers — the group modern consoles keep ignoring.
