Dear Valve and Steam Machines OEMs, you have it all wrong

I disagree. Valve should not repeat console market approach.

Issues:

1. Valve want partners to make hardware (Dell and others). Not to compete with them. It's the same reason Google were hesitant to make mobile hardware.

2. There should not be "one hardware target". That's easy but also very bad, since games simply won't work properly on anything else. No thanks, but thanks. You should not ask for such lock-in.

About the rest - I agree. Such consoles should be as cheap as possible, but not cheaper! Don't forget that incumbent consoles (MS and Sony) aren't priced realistically, they are subsidized. Steam Machines aren't supposed to do that, they are intended to disrupt the market with real competition, and bring prices to real level.

Just had a chance to watch the trailer. "Bug fixes!" in that "wrestler's" voice was golden :D
